Summary - FERN LODGE FRATING ROAD GREAT BROMLEY COLCHESTER CO7 7JW
5 bed 4 bath Detached
Self-contained annex and generous mature garden ideal for multigenerational living.
Five bedrooms plus self-contained annex for guests or multi-generation use
Located on a generous plot in Great Bromley, this five-bedroom detached house blends period character with contemporary living space and a self-contained annex. The ground floor features a large open-plan kitchen/dining/family area, multiple reception rooms and a principal lounge lined with large windows that flood the house with light. Off-street parking and a mature rear garden provide practical outdoor space for families and guests.
The property was constructed before 1900 and retains characterful features while having modern updates such as double glazing and low-energy lighting. Heating is by an LPG boiler and radiators; buyers should note fuel supply is not on a mains gas network. Some fabric and thermal upgrades are likely to improve comfort and running costs — cavity walls are assumed to be uninsulated and loft insulation is modest.
A useful planning application has been submitted previously for a front porch alteration, and the self-contained annex offers flexibility for guests, home office use or multigenerational living. Broadband speeds are reported as fast, and local schools and village amenities support family life, with Colchester and main road links within easy reach. The area is rural with low crime but sits within an area described as deprived — consider local service availability and longer-term investment context.
Practical points: council tax is moderate, flood risk is low, and the property offers scope for selective refurbishment to tailor layout and energy performance to a buyer’s needs. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the plot size, layout and annex potential.
