A Rare Edwardian Gem on 13.5 Acres – First Time to Market in 50 Years

Set amidst rolling countryside and just moments from the sought-after village of Rettendon Common, this substantial semi-rural property is offered to the market for the very first time in half a century. Bursting with charm, character and potential, this Edwardian residence sits proudly within approximately 13.5 acres of land, making it a true rarity in today’s market.

The main house extends to just under 2,200 sq. Ft. And showcases all the warmth and appeal you would expect of its Edwardian heritage. Features include a welcoming lounge complete with log burner, a traditional Rayburn cooker and heating system, and a sense of timeless charm throughout. The home is perfectly positioned, set back from the road to provide privacy, while offering spectacular views across open fields and countryside.

In addition to the main residence, the property boasts an impressive array of outbuildings totalling around 4,025 sq. Ft.. These include a large garage, a versatile workshop, a substantial barn, and stable facilities – all with power connected. There is also a fantastic pub-style party area, ideal for entertaining family and friends, creating wonderful memories in a unique setting. Whether you are looking to run a smallholding, house equestrian interests, or explore commercial and residential development opportunities (STPP), the possibilities are endless.

With mains sewage already in place and such a generous footprint of land and buildings, this property represents a unique opportunity for buyers with vision. Whether you are seeking to restore and enjoy the charm of its current layout, or unlock its development potential, this home provides the perfect canvas.

Properties of this calibre, with this much land and versatility, rarely come to the open market. Rettendon village itself is renowned for its community spirit and welcoming atmosphere, while the property enjoys excellent road links, nearby village amenities, and a true countryside setting, offering the very best of both worlds.
