INTRO
Nestled within the heart of the north essex countryside, yet close to main travel routes, scenic waterfronts, and the bustling, historic town of Colchester, these homes offer you the best of both worlds. Welcome to Chestnut Row, Great Bromley. A collection of 24 homes in total, 8 of which are available for private sale. All have been carefully planned to offer the best use of space, light and facilities, indoors and out. All the homes in Chestnut Row have been designed with utmost care and attention to detail. The external appearances and materials - pitched roofs, steep gables, timber cladding and smooth, clean white render - complement the architectural styles around Great Bromley and make sure the homes are in keeping with the character of the village. Inside, the living spaces have been planned to cater for all the needs of young and growing families.
INFO
You’ll find open-plan rooms perfect for important shared family time and entertaining guests, but also separate living areas so that everyone can find time and space to themselves. To the rear are generously-sized, south-facing gardens, giving you the maximum amount of sunlight throughout the day, as well as beautiful views across the neighbouring open countryside.
