About this property
Grade II listed detached farmhouse - because sometimes you want a home with a little more story to tell.
Six-bedroom accommodation - plenty of room for family, guests and the inevitable room nobody quite knows what to call.
Character in abundance - carved porch, sash windows, wood panelling, fireplaces and period detailing all feature.
Fantastic kitchen and dining room - Shaker-style cabinetry, granite worktops, central island and, importantly, a wine cooler.
Multiple reception rooms - so everyone can be together without necessarily having to watch the same television programme.
Marble fireplace and wood burner - cosy winter evenings have practically organised themselves.
Principal suite with walk-in wardrobe and en-suite - finally, somewhere for all those clothes you insist you'll wear again.
Second bedroom with dressing room and en-suite - because Bedroom Two deserves a little luxury as well.
Gym, utility room and ground-floor wet room - practical spaces that make a substantial family home work.
Detached family room/outbuilding - cinema room, games room, entertaining space, studio or the ultimate hideaway; you decide.
Some homes have character. This one has several centuries’ worth.
If your property wish list includes space, history, period features and enough rooms that you may occasionally lose a family member, this rather special Grade II listed six-bedroom detached farmhouse deserves your attention.
From the moment you arrive, there’s a sense that this is no ordinary family home. The feature carved entrance porch sets the scene beautifully, opening into a welcoming hallway where ornate coving, part wood-panelled walls and a traditional staircase provide an immediate taste of what’s to come.
Linford is a charming semi-rural village in Thurrock, offering an appealing balance of countryside living and convenient connections. Surrounded by Green Belt and open countryside, the area has a relaxed village feel while still providing everyday amenities close at hand, including local shops, green spaces and community facilities. East Tilbury railway station is nearby, providing direct c2c services into London Fenchurch Street, while the A13 offers convenient road links towards Grays, Basildon, Lakeside and the M25. For those who enjoy the outdoors, Linford is well placed for local parks, countryside walks and the wider Thames Estuary landscape, including nearby Thurrock Thameside Nature Park. Combining a quieter, more rural atmosphere with good accessibility, Linford is an attractive choice for buyers looking to escape the hustle and bustle without feeling cut off from everything they need
And there’s plenty to come.
At the heart of the home is a fantastic kitchen and dining room - the sort of space where quick breakfasts somehow turn into long conversations and where everyone inevitably gathers when friends come over.
Finished with Shaker-style cabinetry, granite work surfaces and a central island complete with wine cooler, it manages to strike that difficult balance between traditional farmhouse character and modern-day practicality. A feature gas hob sits within the chimney recess, while an eye-level double oven means Sunday lunch for the whole family is very much on the menu.
Just beyond the kitchen you’ll find a dedicated gym. Whether it remains a gym after moving day is, of course, entirely up to you. Home office? Playroom? Hobby space? Somewhere to store the exercise bike you definitely intend to use? We won’t judge.
There’s also a separate utility room and boiler room, providing the behind-the-scenes practicality that every substantial family home needs.
When it comes to reception space, this house certainly isn’t short of options.
The elegant sitting room is packed with traditional appeal, with sash windows and a handsome marble fireplace housing a wood burner. It's the kind of room that makes you almost look forward to winter - curtains closed, fire lit and nowhere else you particularly need to be.
A separate snug provides another relaxed living space, perfect for movie nights or simply escaping the main household activity, while the study/Bedroom Six offers excellent flexibility. Working from home, accommodating guests or creating a ground-floor bedroom can all be catered for without having to compromise elsewhere.
A ground-floor wet room completes the accommodation on this level.
Upstairs, things continue on an equally impressive scale with five further bedrooms arranged around the first-floor landing.
The principal bedroom offers more than simply somewhere to sleep, with its own walk-in wardrobe and private en-suite creating a proper bedroom suite. If you've ever dreamed of having enough wardrobe space to avoid the seasonal clothing shuffle, this could be your moment.
Bedroom Two is hardly playing second fiddle either, enjoying its own dressing room and en-suite, while three additional bedrooms provide plenty of space for children, guests or whatever life happens to require.
There's also a generous family bathroom, meaning the morning rush should be considerably more civilised than you might expect from a six-bedroom household.
But we're not quite finished.
Away from the main house sits a substantial detached outbuilding currently arranged as a family room. And this could become one of the most fought-over spaces on the property.
Games room? Home cinema? Teenager's den? Party room? Creative studio? Somewhere to watch the football at a volume unacceptable in the main house? The possibilities are considerable.
Outside, the home is complemented by established grounds and courtyard areas, providing an attractive backdrop to a property that has clearly evolved over the years while retaining the character that makes it so distinctive.
And that really is the appeal here.
This isn't simply a large house with six bedrooms. It's a home with history, warmth and personality. Period features sit comfortably alongside the requirements of modern family life, while the sheer flexibility of the accommodation means the house can change and adapt as its next owners do.
There are grand spaces when you want them, cosy corners when you don't, and enough versatility to accommodate everything from working at home and entertaining friends to growing families and visiting relatives.
Six bedrooms. Multiple reception rooms. Two dressing areas. Two en-suites. A gym. A fabulous farmhouse kitchen. A detached family room. And more character than you could ever hope to squeeze into a new-build.
This isn't one you'll fully appreciate from the photographs.
Come and wander around it. Just allow yourself a little extra time - there's rather a lot to see.
