Wenham Lane, Great Wenham, Colchester , CO7

THE PROPERTY
Walnut Thatch offers substantial ground-floor reception rooms with far-reaching views over the rear garden, together with well-proportioned first-floor bedrooms.

The property dates from the 16th century and was extended several times during the 20th century; however, it retains many original features, including exposed beams and studwork, inglenook fireplaces and a former bread oven.
Four reception rooms provide ample living accommodation, while the well-proportioned bedrooms share two first-floor bath/shower rooms. A ground floor study makes for a fourth bedroom if required.

The property is dry and habitable, but some modernisation is required, in particular the kitchen and bath/shower rooms.

GROUNDS & OUTBUILDINGS
A detached double garage provides substantial storage space and can be accessed from the driveway or via a side door. A boiler room and an additional store are attached to the garage, and electricity and water supplies have been installed.
A sweeping in-and-out driveway leads to ample parking space.

The rear garden extends to just under an acre and is predominantly laid to lawn, with open fields and countryside views beyond. A small patio provides a seating area directly outside the garden room and benefits from a southwest facing aspect. Mature trees border the boundaries and offer almost total privacy.
