About
Aspire Estate Agents Basildon are proud to present Lilac Cottage — a truly unique and versatile detached farmhouse, perfectly suited for equestrian enthusiasts, car collectors, or those seeking space to run their own business from home.
Guide Price £775,000 - £800,000 Set on a substantial plot of approximately 1.25 acres, this character-filled residence combines countryside living with exceptional practicality.
Built circa 1916, the home retains its period charm with double bay frontage, complemented by generous living spaces and a variety of outbuildings.
The ground floor offers a spacious lounge/dining room (26'7" x 13'1" / 8.10m x 3.99m), a bright conservatory (17'9" x 9'2" / 5.41m x 2.79m) overlooking the gardens, and a country-style kitchen featuring a beautiful AGA-style stove.
There is also a ground floor bedroom, providing flexible accommodation.
Upstairs, you’ll find two further well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom, all enjoying delightful views across open fields.
Outbuildings & Grounds The external space is truly impressive — offering endless potential and practicality. Equestrian facilities include two stables, a tack room, and a paddock area.
For the car or motorhome enthusiast, there are two large detached garages/workshops and a substantial hardstanding area, ideal for parking numerous vehicles.
Additional structures include a tractor store, wood store, storage/workshop/utility area with W/C, and carport.
A rear garden, outdoor bar & BBQ area, and sweeping in-and-out driveway further enhance the lifestyle appeal.
The property also benefits from sixteen solar panels with battery storage, helping to reduce energy costs.
Heating and hot water are currently wood-fired, though a gas connection remains available for future reconnection.

The location offers excellent transport links via the A13, providing easy access to Stanford-le-Hope, Basildon, Southend, and beyond.
Local shops, popular schools, and charming countryside walks are all within easy reach, making this the perfect home for families seeking space, versatility, and convenience in equal measure.
