A HUGE countryside mansion with a tennis court and swimming pool has gone on the market... and you'll need nearly £4million to buy it. 

Stebbing Hall, based in the small rural village of Stebbing, just outside of Dunmow, has reached the property market for £3.85million.

Built to a high specification in the early 1990s, the property displays fine Georgian-style features throughout, including impressive facades and tall windows and quoins, alongside high ceilings and huge rooms.

The property is approached from the quiet country lane through remote-controlled iron double gates which open onto a sweeping driveway leading across the parkland setting.

From the front gate, there is almost-immediate access to off-road hacking and a network of bridle paths.

The house is surrounded by established parkland grounds, incorporating a selection of trees, well-stocked herbaceous borders, neatly-tended box and beech hedging, as well as flagstone pathways.

Outside there is an adjoining coach house incorporating a bank of garaging, home offices, and a spacious two-bedroom staff flat.

There is also a stable yard with three high-quality loose boxes, associated stores, and a tack room with direct access to fenced paddocks.

On top of this, there are two ponds, a tennis court, a children’s play area, and an ideal area for a future swimming pool to the southwest elevation of the house.

Heading inside, there are nine bedrooms and six bathrooms.
