(ref:LK01) The Globe, Stortford Road, Farnham, Essex

A rare opportunity to own a piece of English heritage—The Globe is a striking Grade II listed property nestled in the heart of Farnham, near Bishop's Stortford. This charming 17th-century residence is rich in character, showcasing traditional timber-framed and plastered construction, a distinctive L-shaped layout, and a mansard-tiled roof punctuated by elegant gabled dormer windows. Listed in 1980 for its historic and architectural significance, The Globe combines timeless craftsmanship with rural Essex charm.

The main house offers spacious and flexible accommodation, with five generously sized bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs. On the ground floor, you’ll find a grand living room with a welcoming open fireplace, a snug, boot room, and a homely kitchen breakfast room perfect for family gatherings. A light-filled study with multi-aspect windows provides serene views over the picturesque gardens, making it ideal for remote work or quiet reading.

Externally, the property offers even more. Set within mature and beautifully maintained grounds, it includes two large sheds, a garage, and a single, expansive annexe in a self-contained habitable outhouse. The additional space can be used as two separate dwellings but is designed to be used, via an adjoining inside door, as one dwelling - with its own private garden - to allow, for example, for carer accommodation. If required as two separate dwellings, each has its own kitchen, living area, bedroom, bathroom. This formation offers incredible flexibility for guests, multi-generational living, or possible rental.

The grounds are a true highlight, featuring a thriving orchard, well-established trees, and seasonal bulbs that ensure vibrant colour throughout the year. With dual access points at the front and rear, the property also presents exciting potential for future development (STPP).

Farnham itself is a welcoming and community-focused village, hosting numerous events year-round thanks to the active social club team at the village hall. Among the highlights is the much-loved Bluebell Walk, which draws visitors from far and wide, and the local village church hosts cherished seasonal events such as the Christmas Tree Festival.

Despite its peaceful, tucked-away location, The Globe is just a short drive from Bishop's Stortford, offering outstanding schools, excellent transport links, and easy access to both London and Cambridge
