Summary - NIMROD COTTAGE HALSTEAD ROAD EIGHT ASH GREEN COLCHESTER CO6 3PX
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Renovated 18th-century cottage with large garden, driveway and flexible living space.
Three double bedrooms with built-in storage
Nimrod Cottage is a beautifully presented 18th-century detached home that blends original character with contemporary renovation. The heart of the house is a spacious extended kitchen/dining/living area with a vaulted ceiling, granite worktops, bespoke shaker units and bifolding doors that open onto the landscaped rear garden — ideal for family life and entertaining. A separate lounge with exposed beams and a brick fireplace with log burner, plus a sun room overlooking neighbouring fields, add flexible living space and countryside charm.
Upstairs there are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a stylish shower room; the principal and second bedrooms include built-in storage. Practical features include triple-glazed windows throughout, recent fittings, a new water treatment system for sewage, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Outside, a large driveway provides multiple off-street parking spaces and a substantial garden offers patios, pergola, raised beds and pleasant rural views.
Notable considerations are factual and important: there is a single bathroom serving three bedrooms, the detached double garage currently used as additional accommodation does not have building regulations approval, and sewage is handled by a relatively new private water treatment system. Council tax sits above average. These points are offset by the property’s freehold tenure, sizeable plot, recent full renovation and convenient access to the A12 and Marks Tey station — making it suitable for families seeking a character home with modern comforts.
This cottage will particularly suit buyers who value period detail combined with ready-to-move-in presentation and flexible living space. It offers scope for those wanting additional approved living space (subject to consents) or someone keen on low-maintenance gardens and strong transport links to Colchester and London.
