Designed exclusively for the over-55s, this two-bedroom semi-detached home sits within an intimate development of 22 luxury residences set on a former country estate. Finished to a high standard in 2019, the house offers contemporary fittings, underfloor heating served by an air-source heat pump and EV charging across the grounds — practical, energy-conscious features that suit modern retirement living.
The bright, south-facing sitting room opens via French doors to a landscaped rear garden with an extensive patio and neat lawn, creating a private, low-maintenance outdoor space. The open-plan kitchen/dining area features Corian worktops and integrated Neff appliances; both double bedrooms include en-suite facilities and the principal benefits from a walk-in dressing room. A large single garage (7.0m x 3.1m) and off-street parking add convenient storage and car space.
Residents enjoy communal amenities designed for wellbeing and leisure: a private gym, two hard tennis courts, lakeside walks, allotments and manicured grounds tended by an on-site team. The village setting on a ridge above the Colne Valley provides far-reaching countryside views while remaining a short drive from Colchester for shops and services.
Important practical points: the property is restricted to buyers aged over 55 and carries an above-average council tax band. The development is managed and maintained as communal grounds — an advantage for low-maintenance living but one that implies service arrangements. Overall, this home suits downsizers seeking a secure, well-appointed retreat with active communal facilities and attractive outdoor space.
