THE SELLERS INSIGHTS For us, this home has been about the perfect balance of quiet moments and big celebrations. There is nothing quite like sitting in the southerly facing garden under the summer sun looking up at the pine trees. At night we've spent countless evenings watching meteor showers and listening to the owls.
When we are not enjoying the quiet the house is full of life. We specifically designed the living spaces for our big extended family, and we have hosted a Christmas dinner for 12 people with ease. It's been a wonderful place to raise our two children with the school run often turning into a social walk home with local friends.
The location has defined our lifestyle. We are spoilt for choice with dog walks around St Peter's Church and the fishing lakes or cycling the quiet routes around the local villages. When we want to be by the water, we love popping to Heybridge Basin for a walk along the river and an ice cream by the lock.
 

THE LOCATION Great Totham is a peaceful and attractive Essex village, known for its strong community feel, historic charm and beautiful surrounding countryside. It sits between Maldon and Colchester, offering a tranquil rural lifestyle with convenient local amenities and scenic walks.
