Glebe Cottage is a spacious three-bedroom detached country home set in a large, well‑screened plot with long views across surrounding farmland. The layout suits family life: a sitting room with a brick fireplace and stove, a separate dining room that links to the kitchen, and a bright garden room that opens to the mature rear garden. A utility room and ground-floor WC/bathroom add practical convenience.
The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite, with two further bedrooms served by a family bathroom. Generous room sizes and character features — exposed beams, a brick inglenook and farmhouse sink — create a warm, traditional atmosphere while offering scope for modernisation to taste. An outbuilding/workshop, single garage and large gravel driveway provide abundant storage and off‑road parking.
Set in a quiet hamlet location about 5.5 miles from Colchester, the house offers rural seclusion yet reasonable access to local schools, commuting routes and coastal towns. Practical points: the property is heated by an oil-fired boiler and radiators, sits in an isolated plot so maintenance of grounds is required, and the area is classified as relatively deprived. Broadband speeds are fast and crime is low, making the home suitable for families seeking space and privacy.
Overall, this is a characterful farmhouse-style residence with large gardens and workshop space, ideal for buyers wanting countryside living with easy access to nearby towns. Some updating and ongoing garden maintenance should be expected.
