<|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|> Here is a summary of the property description in a single paragraph: Dengie Manor is a historic Grade II listed family home of rare distinction, nestled in the heart of Essex's unspoilt Dengie Peninsula. Dating back to the early 1600s, the property has been sympathetically modernized to blend period grandeur with modern family living. The house boasts a striking Georgian façade, elegant reception rooms, a beautifully panelled music room, and a central courtyard and family kitchen. The property also features a separate guest wing, a principal suite, family bathroom, and up to six further bedrooms. With a rich and layered history, Dengie Manor was once the seat of the Fanshawe family for over 300 years and was even owned by Richard Strauss, who composed music there in the 1940s. This is a truly extraordinary opportunity to acquire one of Essex's most important and historic private homes, offering exceptional potential as a landmark family estate.
