Description

An exciting opportunity to refurbish and extend (stp) this imposing residence with no immediate neighbours and secluded grounds of 0.67 acres (stls)

What We Think at The Zoe Napier Group

Coming to market for the first time since it was constructed in the 1930’s is this hidden gem. Located at the end of an elongated driveway, with no immediate neighbours and surrounded by splendid woodland, this property offers a fantastic opportunity for a family to extend, refurbish and put their own stamp on this attractive, imposing home (stp).

What the owners say

The property has been in my family ever since it was constructed for my grandparents nearly a hundred years ago and we have had some wonderful times here, entertaining in the secluded grounds, whilst when my daughter was little, she loved nothing more than exploring in the surrounding woodland. I have now got the point in my life where I would like to downsize and allow another family to create some magical memories of their own.

History & Background

The property is believed to have originally been constructed in the 1933 with a two-storey side extension subsequently erected in the 1990’s.

The ground floor accommodation includes three generous reception rooms, spacious kitchen/ breakfast room complemented by a large pantry and utility room. The first floor boasts an impressive principal bedroom suite with en suite shower room and balcony that boasts splendid views over the grounds, whilst the remaining three bedrooms are all double rooms and serviced by the family bathroom.

The incredibly secluded 0.67 acres grounds (sts) are a particular feature of the property, beautifully screened via a mature hedging and trees and incorporate a variety of outbuildings.

Setting & Location

The property is set back centrally within its plot along the Bentley Road within the picturesque village of Weeley Heath, a tranquil location that combines rural charm with convenient access to modern amenities. Nestled in a serene environment, the area is characterized by beautiful countryside views, making it an ideal retreat for families and nature lovers alike. Excellent transport links are nearby, including the A133 and Weeley train station, providing easy access to the larger coastal town of Clacton-on-Sea and the vibrant city of Colchester.

The village itself offers a sense of community, with local shops, schools, and parks within close proximity. Families will appreciate the quality of local schools, which cater to various educational needs. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy numerous walking and cycling routes, allowing for exploration of the scenic countryside. With a blend of rural tranquillity and accessibility, this location offers the perfect balance for those seeking a peaceful lifestyle without compromising on convenience. 

Ground Floor Accommodation

As you approach the property you are greeted by a UPVC entrance door with two side casements windows allowing plenty of light into the entrance hall with exposed floorboards and provides access to the family room, a bright and airy dual aspect room that was previously utilised as an annexe facility and consequently enjoys a small range of fitted kitchen units and cloakroom. Situated in the front elevation is the sitting room, a characterful room with attractive open fireplace and French doors flowing out to the veranda, offering the perfect place to combine al fresco dining with observing the local wildlife, whilst the spacious kitchen/ breakfast room enjoys a multitude of units, Rayburn, useful spacious pantry cupboard, laundry room and seamlessly flows into the adjoining dining room.

First Floor Accommodation

On the first floor situated in the West wing is the principal bedroom, an impressive room with a plethora of fitted wardrobe cupboards, en suite shower room and door out onto the balcony, a wonderful space to sit after a hard day in the office with a glass of wine and take in the seclusion and serenity that surrounds you. The remaining three bedrooms are all double rooms and are serviced by the family bathroom. 

Grounds & Outbuildings

The property is approached via an elongated driveway that offers ample off-street parking for several vehicles and leads to the 0.67 acre grounds (stls) that are incredibly secluded via the surrounding scenic woodland and mature trees and hedging. The majority mostly laid to lawn with a variety of mature flowers and incorporate a detached barn, adjoining storage shed, greenhouse, various additional storage sheds and beautiful ornamental pond.
