This spacious five-bedroom detached home sits on a large plot in a quiet village setting, offering about 2,378 sqft of flexible family living. The main house is arranged over two floors with three reception rooms, a modern kitchen, and a light-filled living room opening to a generous rear garden with far-reaching farmland views. A self-contained annexe with its own kitchen, lounge, bedroom and bathroom adds multi-generational or rental flexibility.
Practical advantages include a double garage, wide driveway with multiple parking spaces, solar panels, freehold tenure and no flood risk. The property has been well maintained and presents a largely move-in ready layout for a growing family seeking countryside life with quick access to Colchester (around six miles). Broadband speeds are fast and the area records low crime.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important: the house offers two bathrooms to serve five bedrooms, which could inconvenience larger households. Local state primary schools nearby currently hold Inadequate Ofsted ratings, though there is a nearby independent school and a Good-rated secondary. Council tax is described as expensive. Mobile signal is average and, while the home is modernised, buyers should confirm any refurbishment plans or checks (electrics, roof, services) before committing.
Guide price is £800,000–£850,000. This property will suit buyers seeking a roomy family home with annexe potential and rural outlooks; an early viewing is recommended to appreciate the setting and configuration.
