Summary - THE OLD MILL HOUSE HECKFORDS ROAD GREAT BENTLEY COLCHESTER CO7 8PQ
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious five-bedroom Georgian house with village green views and large private grounds.
Five double bedrooms with principal en-suite and dressing area
An imposing Georgian house occupying a prominent plot overlooking Great Bentley's village green, this substantial five-bedroom family residence blends classical proportions with flexible living spaces. The home offers five reception rooms including a formal drawing room, dining room and a generously sized entertainment/games room, plus a bespoke kitchen/breakfast room and utility/boot room — ideal for family life and hosting.
Set within approximately 0.5 acre of landscaped, well-screened gardens and with detached triple garaging, the plot delivers privacy, substantial parking and excellent outdoor entertaining potential. The principal bedroom features a dressing area and en-suite, with four further double bedrooms and two additional bathrooms providing comfortable accommodation for children and guests.
Practical points to note: the property is circa 150 years old with solid brick walls and no built-in modern wall insulation, heated by an oil-fired boiler and rated EPC E. It lies within the Conservation Area, which preserves character but may restrict external alterations. Council Tax is Band G, reflecting the size and location.
Ideally placed for village amenities and close to Great Bentley station, this handsome period home will suit a growing family seeking generous rooms, high ceilings and a substantial, private plot. Some updating and energy improvements would add long-term value and comfort while preserving the house’s original charm.
