WHAT WE SAY
Charming Period Home in the Heart of the Village – With Exceptional Potential

This is a truly wonderful character property located in a superb position—just a short stroll from the village centre, with its array of shops, eateries, and everyday amenities, as well as the train station offering direct links to London Liverpool Street. Whether you’re commuting to the capital or heading into the West End for a weekend show, this location offers convenience and lifestyle in equal measure.

One of the most delightful surprises is how incredibly peaceful the house and garden feel. Despite being in the heart of the village, it’s quiet and secluded—you could easily imagine you’re out in the countryside. The home is filled with natural light, and although it features beautiful beams, there are no low ceilings or height restrictions for the average person, making it airy and comfortable throughout.

The garden is another standout feature—very large, private, and not overlooked, it backs onto the historic village church. It’s also secure and ideal for both children and pets.

Add Value, Create Space – Endless Possibilities

One of the most exciting aspects of this property is the scope to add significant value. The large garage offers several possibilities (STPP), whether you're considering:
- Converting it into a self-contained annexe for multi-generational living
- Creating an Airbnb retreat—perfect for exploring the local area or visiting the nearby beaches at Frinton
- A cinema room, games room, or stylish mancave
- A dedicated workshop or hobby space—ideal for classic car or motorbike restoration

Whatever your plans, the investment in this space is likely to be comfortably recovered in future resale value.

A Beautiful Blend of Old and New

This is a remarkable period home that retains a wealth of original features, all enhanced by a complementary modern finish and contemporary comforts. While it may seem a little further afield from Colchester, excellent access to the A12 (both north and south) and the backroads through Manningtree to Ipswich and the A14 make it far more accessible than you might think.

A superb and great-value home, attractively priced to sell—don’t miss the chance to make it yours.
