Bulphan village is located about 5km (3 miles ) to the west of Laindon and is approximately mid-way between the A127 and the A13 trunk road.

DESCRIPTION

MANOR FARM COTTAGE The Cottage is set back from the main road and is surrounded by the land that is being sold with the property. The house is of brick and rendered walls with a slate roof. It was originally two cottages and was converted a number of years ago to form a single dwelling. All of the fittings are now dated, and the dwelling requires refurbishment allowing any new owner the opportunity to use their imagination to create a home to their specification.

To the front of the house brick steps lead up to the fully covered front porch with a door leading to the hall with stairs to the first floor and a doorway into the sitting room.

The accommodation on the ground floor includes a single storey extension to the rear of the house. Both the sitting room and dining room have open fireplaces which are of a similar design being brick with a brick hearth. The sitting room is dual aspect and has an under stairs cupboard. The galley kitchen has a quarry tile floor and fitted oak front units. There is a single drainer stainless steel sink and fittings for a dishwasher. At one end is a 2 oven gas fired Aga. A door from the kitchen leads to the single storey rear extension housing a large secondary hallway with fitted cupboard, and beyond the utility room and a downstairs shower room. The entire extension has a quarry tile floor, and the utility room has a single drainer stainless steel sink and fittings for a washing machine. The shower room includes fitted cupboards, shower, toilet and hand basin.

On the first floor the central landing provides access to the 3 bedrooms and the family bathroom. At the end of the hallway is the airing cupboard with hot water cylinder. The principal bedroom has a fitted wardrobe and an en- suite bathroom.

To the front of the house is a concrete driveway with two entrances onto the main road and a large parking area in front of the double garage, which is of a similar construction to the house.

To the rear and side of the house is the garden which is mainly lawn containing apple trees. To the rear of the house is a vegetable garden. There are various outbuildings including a timber frame shed and a small glass house. Running through the garden there is a concrete pathway that leads to the farm yard to the rear.

FARM YARD With a separate concrete access onto the main road the farmyard comprises a principal farm building with a large area of concrete hardstanding on two sides.

The farm building is a general purpose barn (18.25m x 22.20m) of steel portal frame construction with mainly concrete block walls to approximately 1.50m and corrugated asbestos cladding above and roof. The building is divided into 3 sections and has a concrete floor throughout. The principal section (12.25m x 18.25m) is clear span and has a sink in one corner, electric sockets, strip lighting and double sliding doors to the front. Either side of the main span are lean-tos. On the west side the lean-to has a part sleeper part space board wall to the side, and to the front a single sliding door. On the east side is an area with a lower eaves height that is used as a workshop..

LAND Surrounding the house and farmyard is approximately 12 acres of grassland. This is divided into 3 fields all of which are laid to grass and are currently used for the production of hay. All of the fields are fenced and behind the farm building is a large pond. The fields also include various buildings mainly of timber frame construction and mostly in a poor condition.
