Description

*** Guide Price £875,000 - £900,000 ***

A charming and heavily extended detached residence, occupying a private and secluded position in the highly desirable village of Great Bromley. Ideally located between Colchester, Manningtree and Weeley, the property benefits from excellent transport links, with nearby rail services to London Liverpool Street and easy access to the A120 and A12.

Set within approximately one acre of beautifully maintained grounds and surrounded by picturesque countryside, this exceptional home has been lovingly cared for by the current owners over many years. The grounds feature a superb outdoor swimming pool with a patio surround, ideal for entertaining and enjoying the peaceful setting.

The total accommodation extends to approximately 4,000 sq. ft., including a range of versatile outbuildings currently used as games rooms, a gymnasium, garages, and office space. These offer excellent potential for a variety of uses, including the possibility of creating an annexe (subject to planning permission).

Inside, the property offers spacious and flexible living throughout. The first floor comprises five well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal suite with a stylish re-fitted en-suite and a Juliet balcony enjoying stunning field views, along with a modern family bathroom.
The ground floor is equally impressive, with a welcoming entrance hall leading to a selection of reception spaces including a lounge, sitting room, sunroom, family room, study, a generous utility room, and a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room designed for both everyday living and entertaining.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial home in a truly secluded setting, with significant further potential. Early internal viewing is strongly advised. The property is heated via an oil-fired system.
