Woodham Ferrers

Occupying an elevated position with stunning far-reaching views over neighbouring countryside towards the Crouch valley, Edwins Hall sits on a double-moated medieval site extending in total to around 21.65 acres, much of which is dedicated to equestrian use. The inner moat is complete and the majority of the outer moat remains. The property is approached through twin iron gates over a sweeping tree-lined gravelled driveway leading to extensive parking set around formal parterre gardens and continuing to a detached double garage with attached car port to the rear of the property. The driveway also gives separate access to a first-class equestrian yard, ideal for livery if required, providing a Five-bay bespoke courtyard stable block with tack room, hardstanding, a tie area for washing, a large Essex hay barn with cloakroom, floodlit all-weather manège and adjoining stock-fenced paddocks linking to extensive off-road hacking and bridleways. The landscaped formal grounds feature expanses of level lawn with numerous courtyards and terraces, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining, an all weather tennis court and areas of woodland, the whole enjoying far-reaching views over rolling arable farmland to the rear boundary.

From its elevated semi-rural position, the property enjoys some fine panoramic views across the surrounding countryside. The immediate landscape is primarily of arable farmland, with many footpaths and bridleways, accessible almost from the front entrance; this provides ample opportunity for some lovely country walks and good hacking (where permissible) across the undulating farmland. Whilst enjoying a semi-rural setting, the property remains accessible to the local village amenities in Woodham Ferrers, with a primary school, public houses and restaurants, village hall and church. A more comprehensive range of amenities can be found in South Woodham Ferrers (2 miles) including rail services into London (journey time from 52 minutes), alternative rail services can be found in Wickford (6 miles) offering a journey time from 37 minutes into London. The local road network accessed via the A130 (4 miles) links through to the A127 (7 miles) and A13 (9 miles). In the opposite direction, the A12 is just 6 miles distant. For international travel, London Southend airport is just 14 miles away.
