Part of our Signature collection, an individually designed country home built in the early 2000’s and has undergone significant improvements during our clients period of ownership since 2015.

These include an extension and renovation of large parts of the main house, the construction of an exceptional leisure complex, landscaping of much of the grounds, the creation of two paddocks, renovation of outbuildings to create 2 stables and a tack room, creating equestrian facilities, and the creation of a one bedroom annex and new office building.

The result is an exceptional country home which makes for the very best of its fine grounds and location, just four miles from Colchester City Centre.

The house is significant, with 4751 square feet of living space over three levels.

The ground floor includes a kitchen breakfast room with a large island and octagon breakfast area that overlooks the garden; it includes a farmhouse style kitchen with granite surfaces. There are four reception rooms, each with outlooks over different areas of the grounds with the sitting room having a modern log burner. Other ground floor accommodation includes a re-fitted utility room and two W/Cs.

The first floor has been entirely reconfigured to include four-bedroom suites, each with their own dressing rooms and bath/shower rooms. The primary suite has an octagonal bathroom and a Juliet balcony (both with views over the paddocks towards the leisure complex), and a dressing room with extensive wardrobes and shelves.
A fabulous cinema room on the second floor features and overhead projector, eight reclining seats with cupholders (for being raised), a separated kitchen (with a fridge, a sink and wine cooler), and its own W/C.

Leisure Complex
The leisure complex is an exceptional addition and enjoys a view back towards the house along a 70-meter ground-lit path.

It features air-conditioned gym, a bar/kitchen area with room to sit/relax or eat, sauna, steam room, two changing rooms with showers and two W/Cs. The pool itself measured approx. 10 x 4 meters and is the same depth throughout. Bi-fold doors at the front aspect to the poolside can be opened onto the patio for summer parties and there is even an oversized chess board (pieces included), an integrated sound system and an outside hot tub.

The pool is heated by an oil-fired system or by an air-source heat pump (subject to outside temperature) with the associated machinery located in an internal plant room. There is also a separate storage room with an outside door (ideal for patio furniture/chess pieces). The building has its own gated access drive leading to the house.

Equestrian Facilities
Beyond the immediate garden there are two grass paddocks, one measuring one acre and another measuring approx two acres. These are fenced and and gated and work well for equestrian use, alongside a recently constructed stable complex which features a tack-room, two stables, three gated yards and a W/C
A 30 ft office is located above the stables which is ideal as a work from home space or could be upgraded to make a second annex.

Grounds
Other features not already mentioned, include several large block paved, tarmacked or shingled parking areas, several large areas of well kept lawn, well established boundary hedges featuring a variety of trees including a number of oaks, patios off the kitchen, games room and an electric gate set within brick walled- entrance.
