Brightlingsea Road, Thorrington

Move straight in and enjoy the far reaching views across to the creek.

This is a superb and stylish modern six bedroom family home in the outskirts of the village of Thorrington. Only a short drive to the waterside town of Brightlingsea known for its sailing and various watersport activities. An immaculate home, deceptively spacious and with overall accommodation of 3,605 sq. ft. There is also the added benefit of approximately a four acre field (STMS) which is perfect for either leisure or a variety of livestock. The land does have the potential for small equestrian use. The current owners use the field with its extensive views down Alresford Creek for exercising their dog, which is very convenient at the beginning or end of the day

Relaxed evenings on the patio with a glass of wine and general chat, enjoying the last of sun and watching the fantastic sunsets is one of the most memorable things our vendors will miss.

Split over four levels the main accommodation has six double bedrooms, five bathrooms, including three en-suite. Arguably one of the highlight features of this home is the principle bedroom suite that includes a large walk-in wardrobe, en-suite double shower and incredible west facing roof terrace. There are three reception rooms – sitting room, family / cinema room and study, to the rear of the home an almost 20ft square kitchen/diner and separate utility opening onto a west facing patio/sun terrace. There is also a generous amount of off street parking and a double garage, with useful storage/office space or den above.


HISTORY

Originally a fairly impressive 1970s built home, having been in the same family for over 35 years, our current vendors have extended this house into this wonderful modern home that stands today. Initially adding the new double garage and, between 2014–2018 almost doubling the size of the house with meticulous care and attention, eye for detail and style and the use of quality materials. The result being an immaculate family home that is now simply too large for our vendors with children having flown the nest.
Note: The threshold of the property is approximately 20m above average sea level and there has never been ANY history of flooding at all that would have any impact on this property or its land.


ACCOMMODATION

Internal

Without doubt, on arriving at the property you are completely unaware of the size of accommodation that beholds. A large bespoke front door by Hormann leads to a light filled hallway with Amtico flooring

To the right is a good size sitting room, stylishly decorated to enhance the space and with a central feature open fireplace. Back to the main hall directly ahead is a cloakroom.
To the left is the lower ground level with two double bedrooms to the rear, both with patio doors leading out on the sun terrace. There is a shower room to the side and family / cinema room to the front. This room has been used as and can be another bedroom, with ample storage, but currently has a projector and screen, perfect for watching key sporting events or the latest box office hit on Sky or Netflix.

Back to ground level and to the rear of the home is the large, almost square, kitchen/diner. A superb spacious room and the hub of the house. Quality and hardwearing Amtico flooring, light and airy, which is enhanced by high gloss low and eye level units and, quartz worktops and island with breakfast bar. This room easily accommodates a 10 seater table and some ‘cozy seating’ to chill out whilst lunch is cooked or relaxing after dinner. Integrated gas hob, cooker and extractor are Miele appliances and space for a large upright fridge/freezer. This room also has air conditioning.

The full set of bi-fold doors lead to the raised sandstone terrace and, lower level sun filled patio and rear garden. To the left of the kitchen is a good size utility with plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

Ascending to the first floor to the front is a double bedroom, the second bedroom, with en-suite shower room and walk-in wardrobe. To the side of the landing is a family bathroom and to the rear two double bedrooms with en-suite shower room to the far left bedroom.
A final small flight of stairs leads to the study but then onto one of the stunning features of this home, the principle bedroom suite. A cavernous room that swallows a large super king size double bed and side cabinets, crisp and clean en-suite shower room and a very generous walk-in wardrobe. To add to the luxury of this room is the almost 28ft roof terrace overlooking the rear garden and field/four acres of land with far reaching views of Alresford Creek. Simply a stunning bedroom suite.


ANNEXE POTENTIAL

On the lower ground floor level there is potential for multi-generational living. During the work to complete the extension the rear bedroom to the far left became a kitchen, so with very little effort it would be easy to create a one bedroom annexe perhaps with lounge/diner, bathroom and kitchen, should you not need the additional two bedrooms.


External

To the front of the property is a generous driveway that can accommodate six vehicles, and double garage with fully electric remote control Hormann doors. First floor of the garage is a useful storage area, potential office, gym or den or even guest accommodation with some reconfiguration.

To the rear is the west facing garden with generous patio area, perfect for entertaining, catching the sun and alfresco dining, and approximately 100ft garden mainly laid to lawn. There is direct access on to the approximate four acre field (STMS)

The field does have vehicle access via a gated entrance to the far right via a private lane a short distance before the main front driveway to the house. The field gate is wide enough for tractor and equipment to pass through. Perfect to keep simply as a wild flower meadow and kept as a natural field, potentially to harvest hay, but ideal for anyone looking for land for a variety of livestock.

There is a 25 year covenant on the field which started approx 2007. The covenant is just for any uplift in value of the field if ever developed for housing. The third party would be entitled to 25% of any uplift profit/overage. There are no other restrictions on the field.
