"Marygolds is a beautifully restored country house on the Marks Hall Estate unlisted, private, and with sweeping parkland on the doorstep.

About this house
Surrounded by the 2,350 acre Markshall Estate on the edge of Coggeshall, Marygolds is accessed by a no through road and enjoys the privilege of vast parkland and woodland on its doorstep beautifully maintained and free from the burden of upkeep.
This seven bedroom historic country home has been thoughtfully restored with care and attention to detail. Once part of the Markshall Estate, its origins trace back to at least the 18th century. Now extended and improved, it s a home perfect for entertaining and relaxing.
The Victorian frontage opens into inviting interiors that have been extensively renovated. Updates to this unlisted house include French oak flooring, a reimagined kitchen, and a stunning, light filled extended living room. The house benefits from a renewed heating system, updated plumbing, a complete electrical rewire, and a restored roof.
Entertainment is at the heart of Marygolds, with a superb outdoor space featuring a refurbished pool, fire pit, hot tub, and a Wimbledon purple tennis court. A fully equipped gym completes the lifestyle offering. The gardens, home to fig, apple, pear, plum, cherry, and quince trees, sit within the estate, with parkland and woodland walks on the doorstep.
The current owners have also transformed the barn more than just an outbuilding, it s a self contained space with two bedrooms, an office, underfloor heating, polished concrete floors, a built in bar, and even a giant mirror ball.
Impressive, inviting, and full of character Marygolds is a home to truly enjoy.
