Bocking, CM7 5SF

Bishop Gauden Hall offers a rare opportunity to acquire a truly exceptional Grade II listed, four-bedroom residence that seamlessly blends contemporary comfort with period character. Originally constructed in 1676 as a teaching hall and place of worship, this remarkable home has been thoughtfully converted, preserving its historic integrity while offering modern, well-planned accommodation. Step inside and you’ll be immediately impressed by the spacious kitchen/breakfast room, complete with bi-folding doors that open onto the south-facing courtyard garden—ideal for entertaining and everyday living. The kitchen is smartly finished and flows into a central hallway that leads to Bedroom 3 and a family bathroom fitted with a shower cubicle. At the heart of the home is the stunning living room, where a vaulted ceiling creates an impressive sense of space and light. Adjacent to the living area is a versatile room, perfectly suited as a formal dining area, home office, or additional reception space. A second hallway to the rear of the home connects three further bedrooms and an additional bathroom. From here, a staircase rises to a generous loft area—with planning permission already granted for conversion into an additional bedroom (Application No: 07/02329/LBC). Externally, the property features a low-maintenance, south-facing courtyard garden—paved for convenience—and a private driveway with parking for two vehicles. Located on the highly regarded Church Lane, Bishop Gauden Hall enjoys close proximity to Braintree town centre, the mainline railway station offering direct services to London Liverpool Street, and the charming village of Bocking. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history, thoughtfully updated for modern living.
