Set within about an acre of mature gardens, this six-bedroom detached home offers generous, flexible living for families who value privacy and outdoor space. Period features such as exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and multi-aspect reception rooms give the house warmth and character, while the principal bedroom’s dressing room creates a private suite. The large, heated swimming pool, hot tub and summerhouse extend the property’s social and leisure potential through the warmer months.
The ground floor layout includes multiple reception rooms, a rustic kitchen with pantry and brick fireplace, plus ground-floor bedrooms ideal for guests or older relatives. Upstairs there are four further bedrooms, served by a shower room and separate bathroom. Several rooms are already adapted for leisure use (gym with sauna), illustrating the home’s versatility.
Practical considerations: the house is heated by an oil-fired boiler with radiators and runs on private oil supply; prospective buyers should note ongoing running and servicing costs. The property dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and, while well presented, some areas may benefit from updating or routine maintenance, including the pool and outbuildings. The plot’s size, layout and rural location provide scope for landscaping or extension subject to planning.
Positioned in Little Oakley with easy road and rail links to Harwich and beyond, the setting combines countryside tranquillity with accessible local schools and amenities. This home will suit family buyers seeking space, character and outdoor leisure, or purchasers looking to adapt rooms and grounds to their own lifestyle.
