Green Farm Road, Colne Engaine, Colchester, Essex, CO6

An extended semi-detached house with a particularly wide road frontage and enjoying an excellent aspect with far reaching views across the surrounding countryside.

This beautifully extended semi-detached house offers an expansive road frontage and enjoys a prime position with far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. The extension has been meticulously designed to complement the original structure, with the use of green oak timbers adding to its charm.

The property features two entrances: a front door and the main access on the side, leading into a welcoming reception area currently used as an office. The first reception room is a striking living room showcasing handcrafted beams, wood flooring, and a lovely view over the front garden. Opposite the traditional entrance hall is the second reception room, part of the original cottage. This room serves as an ideal dining or sitting room, featuring a large inglenook fireplace with a log burner for added character and warmth. The dining room flows into the kitchen, a light-filled space with bespoke cabinetry that perfectly complements the cottage’s traditional feel. The ground floor also includes a shower room, complete with a corner shower.

On the first floor, the home’s craftsmanship continues to impress. The largest bedroom enjoys a pleasant outlook to the front, with an oak door leading into a luxurious family bathroom. Across the landing, the second bedroom offers a vaulted ceiling and dual aspect windows, enhancing its sense of space. There is also a third bedroom and a well-appointed bathroom with both a bath and a shower cubicle.

The plot at 23 Green Farm Road sits on a plot just under a quarter of an acre, slightly elevated from the road, providing stunning views of the open countryside. A gated driveway leads from Green Farm Road to a shingled parking area, offering space for several vehicles. The front of the house features a well-maintained garden with a path to the front door, while the rear boasts a charming courtyard garden—a perfect spot for relaxation.

Additional outbuildings include a summer house, ideal for hobbies or as a utility space with room for a washing machine, as well as a brick workshop, carport, and secure storage.
