Boxted Lodge was historically the hunting lodge for Boxted Hall, extended in 1792 and again in 1886. It has been in the same family ownership since 1978. The house achieved its Grade II listing in 1982 for its Georgian style and features. There are 8 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and 4 formal reception rooms.

The garden and grounds surrounding the house are laid to lawn with established herbaceous borders and flower gardens. There is a stunning walled garden at the rear of the property which boasts beautiful flowers, planted borders and ornate box hedging, as well as rare trees and an orchard. Set within the walled garden are two greenhouses, a vegetable patch and plenty of space for entertaining or garden games.

There are two cottages, Garden Cottage and Gate Cottage, both with two bedrooms and private gardens and will be offered with Vacant Possession on completion.

There are a range of outbuildings, including potting sheds, log stores, workshops and a car port for two cars to the rear of the house. There is a further courtyard of period outbuildings set off the main drive with traditional stables, garaging and additional storage which offers the opportunity for conversion or modernisation, subject to the necessary consents. Adjacent to the Tower yard is a stable block that houses two stables and a tie-up area.
