Brooklands View sits on approaching six acres of private Essex countryside, offering an unusually large plot with gated driveway, established paddocks and a substantial garage/workshop. The detached 2022-built barn conversion delivers a contemporary open-plan living area with high ceilings and large glazed doors that bring the grounds into the home. Two double bedrooms each have en-suite facilities, creating comfortable accommodation for owners or visiting family.
This property will suit buyers who prioritise outdoor space and rural privacy — downsizers or countryside lifestyle-seekers who still want modern finishes. The house is freehold and recently constructed, and it benefits from a 10-year warranty starting February 2025. A short drive or walk brings village amenities and a nearby rail link, while Brightlingsea and Colchester are within easy reach for wider services and leisure.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the internal living area is modest at about 688 sqft, so the emphasis here is on the land rather than expansive house interiors. Heating is electric with a boiler and underfloor system; main fuel is electricity. Broadband speeds in the area are very slow, which may affect home working. Any ideas for development, outbuilding conversion or agricultural use will require the usual planning permissions and statutory consents.
Viewers should note maintenance and running-cost implications of a large private plot and the need to confirm council tax and local service arrangements before purchase. Overall, Brooklands View offers a rare combination of modern living and extensive grounds for buyers seeking country seclusion with good access to local transport links.
