4 bedroom detached house for sale

Blackmore Farmhouse, Billericay - An 18th-century former farmhouse with a selection of outbuildings, countryside views, and excellent access to Billericay town and station.

A charming and beautifully symmetrical former farmhouse dating back to the 1700s, Blackmore Farmhouse enjoys a rich sense of heritage and character throughout. Listed Grade II and positioned on the semi-rural outskirts of Billericay, this handsome period home sits beneath a handmade red clay tiled roof and features a classic central front door flanked by sash windows. It is picture perfect; a landmark period property admired by many. The accommodation is arranged over two floors, with four first-floor bedrooms – two benefitting from en-suite facilities – and a further family bathroom. The ground floor offers three reception rooms and a traditional kitchen, with scope to reconfigure (subject to consents) to create an open-plan kitchen/family space to the rear if desired. Additional ground floor highlights include a utility room and WC.

The property boasts a wealth of original features, from exposed floorboards and sash windows to feature fireplaces – two housing log burners – providing warmth and character in equal measure. Natural light floods the interior, enhancing the farmhouse feel throughout.

Outside, Blackmore Farmhouse is set within a private garden primarily laid to lawn and enjoys open countryside views to the front. There are two driveways providing excellent access and parking – one leading to a carport – alongside a wonderful collection of oak framed outbuildings, including two former stables (ideal for storage), a potting shed, and an annexe-ready structure already renovated (2016) and, we understand, approved for conversion. Superbly situated on the edge of Billericay, the home offers a semi-rural setting while remaining within easy reach of the town centre and mainline railway station, making it a rare blend of country living and commuter convenience.
