A truly unique and remarkable opportunity to acquire this charming Grade II listed four-bedroom detached family home, set on a generous plot and accessed via a private gated entrance. Dating back to the early 1900s, this home is rich in heritage and period charm, thoughtfully enhanced by the current owners with bespoke finishes throughout. It features a beautifully landscaped, low-maintenance garden and generous living space, making it a home of exceptional character and quality.
This stunning residence is located in the highly sought-after area of Stanway, to the west of Colchester. It offers superb access to the A12, Tollgate Retail Park, and falls within excellent school catchment areas, making it ideal for first-time buyers, small families, or working professionals.
Internally, the property welcomes you with an inviting entrance hallway laid with wooden flooring, a spacious understairs storage area, and elegant wood panelling leading to the first floor. The living room boasts a charming open fireplace with a log burner and a bay window fitted with custom shutters. Also on the ground floor is a large double bedroom with inset panelled wardrobes, a beautiful bay window, and classic panelling. The modern kitchen/dining area is a standout feature, offering a range cooker, butler sink, exposed oak beams, and a stable door opening out to the garden. A cloakroom/utility area completes the ground floor.
Upstairs, there are two further double bedrooms, with the master bedroom featuring stylish panelling, an inset media wall, and an electric fire. A contemporary Jack and Jill family bathroom serves the third bedroom and includes a roll-top bath, floating vanity unit, and tiled walls. The fourth bedroom is currently set up as a dressing room.
Externally, the home sits on a substantial, fully enclosed plot. The garden includes a large patio area, a decked space ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, and artificial turf bordered by mature plants and trees. Enhancing the outdoor space are several outbuildings, including a barn, large garage, workshop, and summer house, all connected to power and lighting, offering excellent potential for conversion into an annexe or additional accommodation.
