5 Bed Detached House For Sale

Discreetly positioned along a quiet country lane on the edge of the village, Hollingate is the kind of home that rarely comes to market. Full of character, charm and unexpected space, this beautifully crafted property offers the best of refined country living—private, peaceful and perfectly suited to modern family life.

The main house extends to over 2,500 sq ft and unfolds with effortless flow, offering an array of versatile living spaces flooded with natural light. The heart of the home is a beautifully appointed bespoke kitchen with granite worktops, a two-oven Aga, and a clever blend of traditional style and modern convenience. From here, double doors lead to a formal dining room—perfect for hosting—and a series of elegant reception rooms, including two cosy sitting rooms, a home office, and a stunning full-length summer room that captures the garden at every turn. The practicality of the layout has been carefully considered. A utility and boot room, wet room, and cleverly converted garage space provide ample space for busy family life, while thoughtful touches such as underfloor heating, internal timber shutters, and bespoke cabinetry elevate the finish throughout.

Upstairs, the sense of calm continues. The principal bedroom is a luxurious retreat, complete with a dressing room and stylish en suite. Four further bedrooms are beautifully proportioned and served by a well-fitted family bathroom—each space retaining the character and warmth of the original house, with exposed timbers, bespoke joinery, and garden views.

In addition to the main accommodation, a detached two-bedroom annexe sits comfortably within the grounds. With its own entrance, open-plan kitchen/living space, shower room and a pair of first floor bedrooms (each with Juliet balconies), it’s ideal for multi-generational living, guests, or as a high-quality holiday let.

Outside, Hollingate continues to impress. The gardens are nothing short of idyllic, laid mainly to lawn, with deep borders, specimen trees, and a series of outdoor areas designed for entertaining and unwinding. A paved terrace sits just off the summer room, while a charming shingle path meanders through the garden towards a chicken coop and timber shed, adding a touch of rural charm. At the front, an in-and-out driveway provides extensive parking and access to a detached garage.

This is a house that has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully adapted over time, offering scale, style and soul in equal measure. Located just moments from the thriving community of Radwinter, with its excellent primary school and quick links to Saffron Walden, Audley End Station and Cambridge beyond, Hollingate represents a rare opportunity to enjoy a truly special slice of the Essex countryside.
