Description

SITUATION Set within the picturesque Colne Valley, the property benefits from excellent transport connections, with Wakes Colne and Chappel Railway Station providing regular services to Marks Tey and onward to London Liverpool Street. The surrounding countryside offers numerous walking and cycling routes, while the nearby villages boast well-regarded primary schools, local pubs, and everyday amenities. The historic market town of Colchester lies just a short drive away, offering extensive shopping, dining, and cultural attractions.

This elevated position not only affords pleasant views but also provides a sense of privacy and space rarely found in such a convenient location. With its combination of rural charm and accessibility, the property is ideally suited to families seeking versatile accommodation, professionals requiring rail connections, or those desiring a semi-rural lifestyle with scope for home-based working or business use. 

DESCRIPTION Albecq is a substantially extended and highly versatile four-bedroom semi-detached bungalow, occupying an elevated position along the sought-after Station Road. Ideally located for both Wakes Colne and Chappel Railway Station, as well as the local village store, this superb home combines generous proportions with a beautifully presented interior. Offering around 1,920 sq ft of accommodation, the property benefits from mains services, an air source heat pump system, and a 2.25kW solar panel array, providing an energy-efficient lifestyle.

On the ground floor, a tiled entrance hall opens into a charming inner hallway with stripped pine flooring. Three spacious double bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a welcoming sitting room with wood-burning stove and French doors to the garden are thoughtfully arranged. The granite-topped open-plan kitchen with peninsula unit and Belling oven flows seamlessly into the dining area, while the utility room with stable door provides practical garden access. A distinctive garden room, complete with pitched roof, tiled floor, and second wood-burning stove, creates an ideal year-round living space.

The first-floor extension forms a superb principal suite, incorporating a spacious bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a stylish en-suite shower room, and a unique glass screen link leading to a study area with its own wood-burning stove (potential to convert into an extra bedroom if desired). Externally, the property enjoys extensive frontage with ample parking, a variety of useful outbuildings - one currently configured as a dog grooming business with shower - and established west facing gardens featuring fruit trees, chicken run, and well-stocked borders.
