The kitchen itself measures 12'0" x 11'3" (3.6m x 3.6m) and is fitted with modern units, space for white goods and a Range master Excel (available separately). A practical utility room, 9'3" x 6'9" (2.82m x 2.06m), offers matching storage, appliance space, the oil fired boiler and a stable door to the garden.

Together, the layout provides a balanced mix of larger and smaller bedrooms arranged around a central landing, with the family bathroom easily accessible to all rooms and the main bedroom enjoying added privacy with its en suite facilities.

The detached annex, totalling approximately 1,190 sq ft (111 sq m), is currently arranged as two fully self contained holiday let/Airbnb units, offering excellent income potential or flexibility for multi-generational living. The first unit features an open plan sitting room/kitchen measuring 16'2" × 11'4" (4.9m × 3.4m), a double bedroom of 10'6" × 9'4" (3.2m × 2.8m) and an adjoining bathroom of 7'8" × 6'0" (2.3m × 1.8m).

STEP OUTSIDE Attractive, well established gardens and an extensive driveway form a welcoming approach to the property, with the house set well back from its peaceful no through lane. The frontage provides generous parking, with scope to create an additional hard-standing if desired, and includes a detached, double width, open fronted garage. Gated access leads to the rear of the house, with a separate gate serving the annex, where a private gravelled terrace and a useful storage shed enhance its self contained appeal. The remaining grounds feature a further terrace area along with a dedicated base for a hot tub (hot tub available by separate negotiation). Beyond this, the gardens transition into open grassland interspersed with mature trees, backing directly onto the neighbouring paddock.

This desirable location sits just 3.1 miles north of Colchester (North) mainline station, offering a direct 50 minute service to London Liverpool Street, and provides convenient access to Colchester's full range of amenities, including respected private and grammar schools, following its recent city status.
