The Bury is situated in the historical heart of the attractive west Essex village of Henham, a village with many picturesque period houses and a number of village ponds. The Bury is Grade II Listed, considered to be of architectural and historical merit. The Listing suggests that the property was built in the late 16th or early 17th century and is traditionally built with a timber frame with rendered and plastered elevations under a neat thatched roof. The house was significantly extended in the 1920s to create a different architectural style and larger rooms with higher ceilings. For a house which has been so significantly extended, the accommodation flows surprisingly well and offers spacious rooms with considerable charm.
The Bury has been an outstanding family home for fifty years. There is great character in the older part of the building with open fireplaces and substantial timbers and the rooms built in the 1920s are generally larger with taller ceilings and several have fine views over the garden. The flexible ground floor accommodation includes four reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room and utility area, office, butlers pantry and two ground floor cloakrooms. Three staircases lead to the first floor where there are seven bedrooms, two bathrooms, a shower room and two cloakrooms. The house has been well-maintained, but offers the new owners a great opportunity to modernise the interior.
A driveway crosses a pond and leads to a parking and turning area beside the house. A link leads from the house to the double garage which has storage space in the roof, workshop, pump room and shower room. There is additional parking for about five cars in the courtyard. Within the grounds there is an apple store, stables, wood store, shepherd’s hut and a number of storage sheds. The grounds are relatively easily maintained with lawns, shrubs, mature trees, a large enclosed vegetable garden and fruit cage and several paddocks. In total, the plot extends to about 5.75 acres.
Agents notes: There will be an uplift clause on the land of 33% for a period of 25 years should planning permission be granted. This will exclude permission for agricultural or amenity buildings. There is a swimming pool in the grounds which has not been used in recent times, but with some expenditure it could be brought back into use. There is a gardener’s WC which has historically been used in conjunction with the swimming pool.
Henham is a well-regarded North Essex village with its local primary school, church, public house, village shop and Post Office which is run by volunteers. There is also a farm and coffee shop and a gym. Henham lies about 7 miles from the market town of Bishop’s Stortford, which provides a more comprehensive range of social, recreational and educational facilities, as well as access to the M11 motorway on the outskirts of the town linking London, the M25 and the north. There is a mainline railway station at Bishop's Stortford, providing a regular commuter service to London's Liverpool Street. The nearest mainline station to the village is at Elsenham.
