Summary - 17 RECTORY ROAD LITTLE OAKLEY HARWICH CO12 5JX
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Well-presented three-bedroom home backing onto paddocks with renewable heating and driveway.
Three bedrooms with far-reaching paddock views from rear rooms
Set in the sought-after village of Little Oakley, this well-presented three-bedroom semi-detached home offers peaceful rural outlooks and practical family living. The property benefits from a modern renewable heating system (air source heat pump), recent replacement of windows and doors, and a driveway with off-street parking for at least two cars. The living room flows through to a separate dining room with French doors opening onto a rear garden that backs directly onto paddocks — ideal for anyone who values outdoor space and open views.
Internally the layout is traditional and straightforward: a spacious lounge, separate dining room, fitted kitchen, and a ground-floor bathroom/WC with underfloor heating. Upstairs are three bedrooms, the two larger rooms enjoying far-reaching views over paddocks. Built in the mid-20th century with filled cavity walls and double glazing, the house sits on a decent plot and feels larger than its footprint suggests thanks to sensible room proportions.
Practical strengths include freehold tenure, low local crime, cheap council tax band, and rural amenities nearby (bus, pub, primary schools). Important considerations: the EPC is rated D and the property uses electricity as its main fuel, so running costs may be higher than newer-build alternatives. The home is average-sized overall and while well maintained, buyers wanting major modernisation or extension potential should check planning and conservation constraints for the village.
This house will suit families or downsizers wanting a quiet village setting with good outdoor space and straightforward, energy-upgraded living. It represents a pragmatic buy for those who prioritise location, a renewable heating system, and a neat garden with paddock views rather than a turnkey new-build specification.
