Summary - ROOKERY LODGE, HOLLY LANE, COLCHESTER, GREAT HORKESLEY CO6 4AW
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious five-bedroom detached home on 1.1 acres with six-car garage and ultrafast broadband.
Five generous bedrooms plus principal en-suite
Rookery Lodge is a substantial five-bedroom detached home set privately within approximately 1.1 acres of mature, well-kept gardens on prestigious Holly Lane. The house has nearly 4,000 sq ft of accommodation arranged over two floors, with four spacious reception rooms, a bright garden room with French doors, and a high-spec kitchen/breakfast room fitted with granite worktops and integrated Neff appliances. A long private driveway and a detached six-car garage provide extensive parking and secure storage.
The property has been comprehensively modernised and presents well for contemporary family life, with a principal bedroom suite and en-suite, a useful home office/study and flexible rooms that could become a studio or annex. The grounds are a major asset — wide lawns, specimen trees and sheltered seating areas create privacy and scope for outdoor entertaining or further landscaping. The location balances rural tranquillity with accessibility: Colchester North station, the A12 and local independent schools are within easy reach, and Dedham Vale AONB is nearby for countryside recreation.
Notable practical points are presented plainly: heating is by oil-fired boiler and radiators, the property uses private drainage, and external walls are original solid brick (no confirmed insulation). Council Tax is band G and therefore relatively expensive. Any buyer should satisfy themselves on services and planning potential for conversion of outbuildings, and note that some specification details (eg exact dates of glazing installation) are not provided.
