Fenn Wright, an independently owned property firm based in Colchester, is currently listing Moat Hall, a Grade II listed family home in the village of Fordham.
The six-bedroom property has more than 5,000 square foot of space with over two acres of land.
The property, on the market for offers in excess of £1,500,000, includes a swimming pool, tennis court, games and bar room, an en-suite guest house, and further out buildings.
Moat Hall was built in the Georgian period and has been carefully restored with each room having views of either the moat or the landscaped gardens.
There is a formal entrance, a reception hallway and receptions room including a drawing and dining room, the latter having a stone hearth.
There is a kitchen and breakfast room with a high-vault ceiling with exposed timbers, unfloor heaters.
The kitchen itself has three independently controlled ovens and further spaces for ovens.
Another highlight is the en-suite bathroom which has an antique French, ball and claw foot slipper bath and a bespoke marble double washbasin.
The games room has space for both a pool table and cinema seating with the bar boasting a sink and fridge – with this building also being suggested to be used an external office or gym.
The moat is home to a brood of ducklings and fish and can be viewed from a sun terrace as well as other locations.
A bridge over the moat leads to the predominately west-facing formal gardens which possess a variety of established shrubs, trees and hedging, including a small orchard and vegetable and soft fruit garden.
Another feature is a ‘wild garden’ to the front of the property which is bordered by Woodland Trust Land.
The property has the highest council tax band H with Fenn Wright understanding that the mains gas, electricity, water and drainage are connected to the property.
As a Grade II listed building, any energy performance certificate rating is not applicable.
