The Property
“A rare and exciting opportunity to acquire an exceptional countryside setting extending to approximately 20 acres.”
Set in a wonderfully private and secluded position on the edge of Great Chesterford, Field Farm House comprises a former farmhouse together with an extensive range of traditional farm buildings. The site sits in an elevated rural position surrounded by open farmland and uninterrupted views.
Planning permission was previously approved for a striking 4,860 sq ft contemporary replacement dwelling, designed to take full advantage of the spectacular landscape. An extensive landscaping scheme has also been approved, incorporating sweeping grounds and a proposed lake.
Beyond the principal dwelling, the property includes a substantial collection of former agricultural buildings, offering considerable scope for restoration, repurposing or redevelopment, subject to the necessary consents.

Twenty acres of Essex countryside
The Area
Field Farm sits within a quietly spectacular pocket of north Essex, where rolling arable farmland meets ancient hedgerows, woodland and the gentle valley of the River Cam. The surrounding countryside is criss-crossed with footpaths and bridleways, with open views in every direction and a strong sense of seclusion despite the proximity of village life.
Twenty acres held within a landscape that has remained largely unchanged for generations.
The Setting
Despite its idyllic countryside setting, Field Farm House remains exceptionally well connected. Great Chesterford lies approximately two miles away and provides a range of local amenities including a village shop, public house, schooling and community facilities. The nearby mainline railway station offers direct services into London Liverpool Street and Cambridge.
The market town of Saffron Walden is approximately six miles distant and provides an excellent selection of independent shops, restaurants and recreational amenities, together with highly regarded schooling. The M11 is also conveniently accessible, providing links to Stansted Airport and the wider motorway network.
