Description

The Oak is a potential building plot of approximately 1 acre occupying a delightful country lane setting with mature wooded plot. Currently occupying the site is a structurally damaged 4 bedroom detached house of approximately 1800 sq ft. A positive pre-application was submitted to Tendring council for the re-siting and building of a new dwelling on the site and any interested party will need to be satisfied for their own design and planning.

Outside
The site had previously been used as a nursery and the grounds have been significantly cleared over the last two years leaving a number well established trees. The grounds back towards countryside with further countryside views on the other side of the lane.

Additional land and a significant storage building with separate vehicular access is available by separate negotiation which would take the plot to over 2 acres.

Location

Whitehall Lane is a delightful country lane setting on the outskirts of the village with a mix of substantial bespoke houses and countryside along the lane. Thorpe-le-soken offers excellent local facilities with a variety of shops and businesses including Tesco Express and Lifehouse Spa, doctors surgery and pharmacy. The village also has a variety of pubs and restaurants, a primary school and secondary school and a church. For the commuter, there is a railway station serving the Clacton to London Liverpool Street line and a link to the coast at Frinton and Walton.
