Full Description: A Historic Grade II Listed Family Home of Rare Distinction- available for the first time in more than 40 years. Set in the heart of Essex’s unspoilt Dengie Peninsula, Dengie Manor is a country house of exceptional charm, provenance, and character. Surrounded by approximately 2.75 acres of private gardens and grounds, it offers a rare blend of period grandeur and modern family living. The house dates back to the early 1600s, with its origins still visible in the rear structure. In the mid-18th century, the property was elegantly re-fronted, giving it the striking Georgian façade it retains today, with symmetrical sash windows, dormers, and classical proportions. Over time, the Manor has been sympathetically modernised, creating a home that is both historically rich and perfectly suited to 21st-century life. Dengie Manor was the seat of the Fanshawe family for over 300 years — a prominent lineage with deep ties to the county and national public life. Their long custodianship has given the house a sense of continuity and dignity that is still felt today. The accommodation includes generous and well-balanced reception rooms, including a grand hallway and staircase, elegant drawing and dining rooms with bay windows overlooking the gardens, and a beautifully panelled music room with oak walls and a carved fireplace. A conservatory leads to a central courtyard and family kitchen, with further utility areas and a cellar. A separate guest wing offers a high-spec kitchen, lounge, and two bedrooms. Upstairs, the main house includes a principal suite, family bathroom, and up to six further bedrooms. The house was owned by Richard Strauss 1947- 1949, who composed music here — a unique cultural note in its rich and layered history. This is a truly extraordinary opportunity to acquire one of Essex’s most important and historic private homes — rarely available, deeply rooted in English heritage, and offering exceptional potential as a landmark family estate Reception Hallway - 5.33m x 4.17m (17'6 x 13'8) - Drawing Room - 5.33m x 4.78m (17'6 x 15'8) - Dining Room - 5.33m x 4.88m (17'6 x 16) - Study - 3.86m x 2.97m (12'8 x 9'9) - Sun Room - 4.29m x 3.18m (14'1 x 10'5) - Kitchen/Breakfast Room - 8.94m x 4.09m (29'4 x 13'5) - Utility Room - 5.21m x 3.05m (17'1 x 10) - Music Room - 8.26m x 5.21m (27'1 x 17'1) - Guest Quarters - Kitchen - 4.06m x 3.99m (13'4 x 13'1) - Lounge - 6.32m x 4.29m (20'9 x 14'1) - Bedroom - 5.51m x 2.92m (18'1 x 9'7) - Bedroom - 5.21m x 2.95m (17'1 x 9'8) - Dressing Room - 4.11m x 2.29m (13'6 x 7'6) - First Floor - Master Bedroom En-Suite - 5.33m x 4.09m (17'6 x 13'5) - Bedroom - 4.57m x 4.09m (15 x 13'5) - En-Suite Dressing Room - 4.29m x 3.73m (14'1 x 12'3) - Bathroom - 3.15m x 2.59m (10'4 x 8'6) - Second Floor - Bedroom - 3.89m x 2.84m (12'9 x 9'4) - Bedroom - 2.84m x 2.84m (9'3" x 9'3") - Bedroom - 2.95m x 2.77m (9'8" x 9'1" ) - Bedroom - 2.92m x 2.77m (9'6" x 9'1" ) - Cellar Split Into 5 Rooms - Area 1 - 5.33m x 5.08m (17'6 x 16'8) - Area 2 - 4.42m x 2.51m (14'6 x 8'3) - Area 3 - 4.42m x 1.37m (14'6 x 4'6) - Area 4 - 4.42m x 1.45m (14'6 x 4'9) - Area 5 - 3.73m x 0.99m (12'3 x 3'3) - Stable Block - Three single stables and one double and tack room which was the original coachman quarters.
