Located on the ground floor, the annexe provides independent accommodation with its own separate entrance. It comprises a kitchen with adjoining utility room and direct access outside, a living-dining room with French doors opening to the exterior, two bedrooms, and an en-suite bathroom, making it well suited to multi-generational living or guest use.
The annexe is fully self-contained while remaining connected to the main house if required, offering a flexible arrangement that adds significant appeal for those seeking adaptable accommodation.

A generous terrace provides an ideal area for outdoor dining and seating, with steps leading onto an expansive lawn, creating a pleasant and open setting for recreation and relaxation.
In addition, the self-contained annexe benefits from its own separate courtyard garden, offering a private outdoor space that enhances its independence and usability. Together, the gardens provide flexibility, privacy, and a strong connection between the indoor accommodation and the outdoors.
The property also benefits from an integral double garage with internal access from the study, along with ample off-road parking, including a covered car port.
The Area - Leavenheath is a popular and well-regarded village set within attractive countryside on the Essex–Suffolk border, offering a peaceful rural atmosphere while remaining conveniently connected to nearby towns and amenities.
The village benefits from a strong sense of community, a village hall, a church, and access to country walks and open farmland. Everyday amenities can be found in nearby villages and in the market towns of Sudbury and Colchester, both of which offer a wider range of shopping, restaurants, leisure facilities, and schooling options, including highly regarded independent and state schools.
For commuters, Colchester provides mainline rail services to London Liverpool Street, while the A12 and surrounding road networks offer good access to the wider region.
