5 bedroom detached house for sale

Set right in the heart of Sible Hedingham, Seagrave House is a substantial home offering exceptional space and versatility, with the added benefit of huge annexe potential. Sitting on a generous plot with a wide frontage, a large driveway and an expansive garden, this is a property that combines convenience of village living with scope rarely found in such a central location.

The ground floor is arranged around a welcoming central hallway. To the front, a spacious living room with village-facing windows creates a comfortable family hub, while the main bedroom lies opposite, offering a peaceful retreat. Two further double bedrooms sit to the side, together with a modern family bathroom and a separate W.C. Towards the rear, the kitchen is complemented by a useful utility room, while a fourth bedroom or study makes an ideal home office or guest room. The flow of the house is enhanced by not one but two conservatories – one a bright garden-facing space perfect for dining or relaxing with a kitchen installed, the other larger in scale and connecting beautifully to the outdoor areas.

Upstairs, the first floor opens into an impressively large lounge, ideal for entertaining or as a more private family living space. A substantial fifth bedroom and a generous shower room complete the accommodation at this level, with additional eaves and loft storage adding practicality. The layout lends itself perfectly to be used as an annexe or for multi-generational living, with the upper floor easily imagined as a semi-independent suite.

Outside, the property enjoys a large garden offering plenty of scope for landscaping, outdoor entertaining or further extension, subject to planning. The broad driveway provides ample parking for several vehicles, while the frontage adds to the overall sense of space and presence.

Positioned on Swan Street, the property benefits from a truly central village location. Sible Hedingham is a thriving north Essex community in the Colne Valley, with local shops, a primary and secondary school, medical centre and everyday amenities all within walking distance. For leisure, the picturesque countryside and heritage spots such as Alderford Water Mill are close at hand, while excellent road links provide access to nearby towns and further afield.

Seagrave House represents a rare opportunity: a substantial family home with enormous flexibility, large gardens and outstanding potential, all right at the centre of one of Essex’s most desirable villages.
