Brooklands View is a contemporary two-bedroom barn conversion set within almost six acres of private Essex countryside. The open-plan living space, high-ceiling kitchen and large glazed doors create a bright, low-maintenance home that suits a quieter, rural lifestyle. Two en-suite bedrooms add privacy and convenience; total internal space is circa 688 sq ft, so living areas are compact and efficiently arranged.
Outdoor space is the standout feature: extensive paddock-style grounds, gated driveway and a substantial garage/workshop offer flexibility for hobbies, storage or potential ancillary uses (subject to planning). The property was constructed in 2022 and benefits from a 10-year warranty commencing February 2025, providing a measure of long-term protection for structural and latent defects.
Practical considerations include very slow broadband speeds and electric-fuel heating with an electric boiler and underfloor system, which may affect running costs and connectivity for remote working. Access to village amenities is good for a rural location, with a short drive to Brightlingsea and rail links to Colchester and London; local footpaths and woods provide immediate leisure options. This home will suit buyers seeking countryside tranquillity with flexible outdoor space rather than those needing large internal living areas or high-speed internet.
