Stone Road, Great Bromley, Colchester, Essex, CO7

Set along a quiet stretch of Stone Road in the sought-after village of Great Bromley, this charming period home blends characterful origins dating back to circa 1800 with a thoughtfully designed 1980s extension. Standing within a generous plot of approximately 0.56 acres (STS), the property enjoys a private setting with open countryside views and ample off-road parking, offering a rare combination of space, seclusion, and rural charm.

A solid wood door opens into an entrance hall with bespoke fitted cupboards and exposed timbers, setting the tone for the character found throughout and leading through to the main living accommodation. The cottage's characterful interior retains much of its original charm with the sitting room featuring exposed beams, a central fireplace with a substantial timber lintel, and a deep-set window overlooking the garden, creating a warm and inviting space. From here, open studwork leads through to a quiet area with exposed brickwork and timber detailing, ideal for reading or working quietly away from the main living areas.
At the rear of the house, the kitchen/dining room benefits from a well-planned layout that balances modern practicality with rustic touches. A full run of fitted cabinetry provides generous storage, complemented by tiled splashbacks and a brick-built chimney breast that adds texture and character. The dining area enjoys views across the rear garden, with double doors opening to the outside, and a walk-in larder adds further convenience. Just off this space is a separate, dedicated study with countryside views, perfect for use as a home office or creative workspace.
Also on the ground floor is a generously proportioned bathroom, thoughtfully finished with panelled walls, a freestanding roll-top bath, and separate shower enclosure.
The first floor offers four well-proportioned bedrooms arranged around a central landing, each benefitting from attractive views and natural light.
Completing the first floor is a well-appointed shower room.
The property is approached via a gated entrance onto a long gravel driveway, providing ample off-road parking and framed by mature trees that offer privacy and a sense of arrival. Set within grounds of approximately 0.56 acres (subject to survey), the garden is predominantly laid to lawn with a variety of established trees, fruit trees, and planted borders.
To the rear, a generous stone terrace wraps around the property, providing an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining. Beyond this, the expansive garden stretches towards open farmland, offering far-reaching views and a feeling of peaceful seclusion. A detached garden summerhouse / studio sits to one side and is positioned to enjoy the surrounding greenery.
The remainder of the plot has been thoughtfully maintained with open grass areas, four timber sheds and pockets of natural shade under mature trees - creating a welcoming and versatile outdoor setting.
