The Good Life

Surrounded by its own 4 ½ acre plot, which comes with heated

swimming pool, games room, stabling, orchard and mature garden,

Park Farm has been a wonderful home for the current owners for

33yrs. The farmhouse dates back to 1935 but records show that there

has been a farmhouse here as far back as 1605. There is plenty of space

both inside and out to add your mark, with four bedrooms and two

bathrooms offering plenty of accommodation for the family on the

first floor, and ample reception rooms to ensure that there is space

for all to enjoy. With its outdoor seating areas, lovely countryside walks

and a walk into the village, with schooling, shops and all the necessary

amenities, and just a five minute drive to the Cressing station, this

property is sure to please.overviewPark Farm House Pages_v3.indd 3 10/09/2015 15:01

Taking ownership

There is no doubt that the owners of this property are less

than eager to leave, but as they say, “We recognise that we

need to pass this wonderful place on to new custodians.

Having seen our children and grandchildren grow up enjoying

what is a fantastic upbringing, surrounded by open countryside,

it is now time for us to move on. We’ve had a wonderful life

here and wouldn’t change a thing about this place: it offers you

all that you could wish for from a family home.” Having moved

in in the ‘80’s, the owners immediately saw the potential to

enjoy what was a growing trend at that time, as they explain,

“To find a property with so much land, surrounded by mature

trees, gave us the scope to really enjoy ‘the good life’. We’ve

had all manner of livestock, and my wife has made a wonderful

garden here that provides us with lots of fruit and vegetables

for the kitchen.”

A Warm Welcome Awaits

The property is accessed through a lovely arched front

porch which brings you directly into the main hall way, and

immediately you are struck by the high standard of decoration,

as affirmed by the owner, “The house is in excellent decorative

order, having been done from top to bottom only a couple of

years ago. All the fascias, soffits, gutters and downpipes have

been replaced. We have a new front door and new double-

glazed windows too.” To the left is a room more popular with

the owners than ever now that the family has left, and for

good reason, as we hear, “We love the inglenook in the snug,

it’s such a cosy room, and with an endless supply of our own

logs, the fire is always lit.” It has a further appeal in the warmer

months, with a large glazed window and French doors allowing

the light to flood in, and it’s ideally placed for the pool, “The

light that comes into the snug is phenomenal, and come the

summer, we constantly have the French doors open as they

lead straight out to the pool.”

“Every room has beautiful views and with the utility room

off the kitchen, everything has its rightful place, and there is plenty

of storage.”

“Our master bedroom is a good size, and we have a power shower in the en suite, which has recently been redone. We’ve lovely

views out over the front of the property, and it’s a great place to wake up in the mornings.”

Pick and Mix

When you consider what is on offer for

people to enjoy here, it’s no surprise that

the owners have many long-standing return

visitors. “Everyone enjoys the outdoors here.

We spend long afternoons by the pool,

dipping in and out of the games room for

a game of table-tennis, and we had ponies

when the children were young. Moreover,

this is a wildlife haven, with muntjak deer

regularly grazing on the back fields and wild

birds in abundance.” The property has triple

garage as well, the owner says, “It’s been so

useful to have the three garages, as we can

house both cars and the lawn tractor with

ease, and I have what I consider a spacious

workshop, complete with industrial saw.”


And if you’re into jam-making or have a

wish to keep livestock, you won’t run short

of ideas. “We’ve a lovely orchard – a mix of

apple, plums and pear trees - and five walnut

trees, and two large poly-tunnels sheltering

out peach and apricot trees, and over the

years, my wife has planted out hundreds

of vegetables either as seedlings in the

greenhouse, or directly into the rich soil in the

vegetable patch, and having kept goats, pigs

and chickens, as you can imagine, we’ve been

well catered for.”
