A Masterful Blend of Victorian Heritage and Future-Ready Sustainability
Key Features
• Historic Grandeur: A substantial Victorian residence (c. 1900) boasting over 4,200 sq ft.
• Sustainable Luxury: Exceptional eco-credentials including solar arrays and Tesla storage.
• Versatile Living: Significant scope for a two-storey self-contained annexe.
• Exquisite Grounds: Nearly 1 acre of mature gardens, orchards, and wildflower meadows.
• Prime Location: Nestled in the highly sought-after hamlet of Cobblers Green, near Felsted.
The Residence
Steeped in history and scale, this beautifully preserved Victorian home offers a rare architectural dialogue between the past and the present. Originally dating from 1900, the property retains its period soul while seamlessly integrating clever 21st-century additions. With over 4,200 sq ft of living space, the home is designed for both grand-scale entertaining and intimate family life.
For those seeking multi-generational living or a high-end home office, the property offers the effortless potential for a two-storey self-contained annexe. Additionally, the current workshop—spacious enough for two vehicles—presents a blank canvas to be integrated into the primary living quarters.
Eco-Credentials & Innovation
Rarely does a period home of this stature offer such sophisticated energy independence. This is a "future-proof" estate, featuring:
• Energy Generation: 60 discreetly installed solar panels paired with a Tesla Powerwall battery.
• Heating Solutions: A dual system comprising a Ground Source Heat Pump for the original residence and an Air Source Heat Pump for the western wing.
• Efficiency: Benefit from the Feed-in Tariff (FIT) mechanism, drastically reducing overheads while maintaining a carbon-conscious lifestyle.
Grounds & Gardens
The property sits within approximately one acre of horticultural bliss. The grounds have been meticulously nurtured to create a private sanctuary that blends formal elegance with natural beauty.
• Entertaining: A natural stone terrace draped in mature grape vines offers the perfect spot for sundown drinks, while a secluded lower terrace off the dining room is tailor-made for al fresco dining.
• Nature: Beyond the manicured lawns lies a vibrant wildflower meadow and a productive orchard, all set against the backdrop of rolling countryside views.
• Practicality: A sweeping gravel driveway provides extensive parking, complemented by substantial timber outbuildings and established vegetable plots for the "farm-to-table" enthusiast.
