Set on the outskirts of Ardleigh, Elm Tree House is a detached chalet bungalow offering a practical family layout and a substantial garage/workshop. The home is being sold with no onward chain and sits on a mature plot with established boundaries, generous lawned garden and a wide brick‑paved driveway providing off‑street parking.
The property requires a programme of modernisation throughout: cosmetic and systems upgrades are needed, and the walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation. Heating is by an oil‑fired boiler and radiators, broadband speeds are slow, and council tax is above average — all factors to budget for during refurbishment. On the plus side, double glazing was fitted in or after 2002 and the plot enjoys a good degree of privacy with excellent mobile signal and easy road access into Colchester and Manningtree.
Internally the house offers flexible accommodation over two levels with a large dual‑aspect living room, a second reception room, kitchen with utility and ground‑floor shower room/WC, then three first‑floor bedrooms. The 48ft garage/workshop is a standout practical asset for storage or hobbies. This property will suit a buyer seeking a renovation project who wants a semi‑rural setting with space to adapt and enhance the house to modern standards.
