This stunning detached three/four-bedroom family home is the final available property within 'Horkesley Hamlet' - A truly magnificent new development built by Messrs Mersea Homes on the edge of Dedham Vale's area of outstanding natural beauty, and yet within close proximity to Colchester's vibrant City Centre, General Hospital and Mainline Station.
This remarkable property offers an impressive 2,540 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space and seamlessly blends modern luxury with timeless historic charm, showcasing a handsome red-brick exterior, gambrel roof, prominent chimney, and dormer windows that reflect a unique combination of Dutch and British architectural influences.
Upon entering, you are greeted by a grand reception hall, elegantly finished with Holland Park herringbone flooring. The ground floor boasts generous reception areas, including a spacious drawing room with an inset cast iron log burner and oak mantle, and a flexible family room/bedroom four. At the heart of the home lies the breath-taking kitchen, breakfast, and family room. Designed with vaulted ceilings, exposed timber trusses, and roof lights, this space exudes character and charm. The bespoke shaker-style kitchen is equipped with top-tier appliances, a central island with granite/quartz worktops, a ceramic double butler sink, and integrated appliances, including column fridge and freezer units, ovens, a plate warmer, and a waste disposal unit. A convenient boot room adds practicality, while the ground floor also features a cloakroom.
Throughout the home, flush timber casement windows with monkey tail handles and striking internal oak doors with black ironmongery enhance its character. Underfloor heating further elevates comfort.
The first floor offers a beautifully designed galleried landing, leading to three exceptionally spacious en-suite bedrooms. Each bathroom is finished to the highest standards with Porcelanosa ceramic tiling, Villeroy & Boch vanity units and sanitaryware, and Vado brassware for a touch of luxury.
Outside, the property benefits from a private driveway with a buff rolled stone finish, offering ample off-road parking. The landscaped rear garden includes a large stone-paved patio—perfect for al-fresco dining—and a lawned area ideal for family use. A detached double garage and outdoor lighting complete the exterior features.
'Magna Cottage' is situated in the picturesque Horkesley Hamlet, a development that blends rural tradition with 21st-century convenience. Surrounded by the stunning countryside of Dedham Vale and the Stour Valley—an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty—this location provides a perfect balance of idyllic views and easy access to local amenities. The development itself has already become famous locally and known as 'The Address' in the area, with each property completely unique and beautiful in its design.
Being the last remaining property for sale within this highly exclusive development, we would strongly advise early internal inspections to avoid much disappointment.
