Description

“One of the most stunning blends of character, history and modern living I’ve ever seen.”

That’s how our Head of Sales described The Old Shop after his first visit. Originally the village Post Office and Shop, this property, dating back to the 1700s has evolved into a truly special six-bedroom, five-bathroom home with four reception rooms and a stylish, modern kitchen at its heart.

The layout is wonderfully versatile too. Bedrooms five and six both feature ensuite shower rooms and kitchenettes, making them ideal as an annexe, guest suite or Airbnb type offering (**the appropriate required planning permission has already been granted) The current vendors have in the past, offered an Airbnb style of accommodation, with great commercial success. So this bonus accommodation is perfect for extended family, teenagers, visiting friends or even as a business.

Spread out over a generous 3700 sq ft, it’s a home that offers both room to entertain and spaces to retreat, from family gatherings and summer pizza nights in the outdoor kitchen, to peaceful evenings playing pétanque in the established gardens.

The location is every bit as impressive. Alton Water and the River Stour are just minutes away, with countryside walks, sailing, and cycling on your doorstep. Great pubs, local eateries and the renowned Royal Hospital School are close by. Manningtree Station offers mainline access to London Liverpool Street in around an hour. Ipswich is just over 8 miles away and Colchester a short 15 mile drive.

This isn’t just a home, it’s a lifestyle. Call us today to experience "The Old Shop" for yourself.
