About this listing

GUIDE PRICE £650,000 - £700,000. Welcome to this truly exceptional property, nestled in the charming semi-rural setting of The Strood, Colchester. If you are searching for a home that offers space, versatility, and breathtaking views, then look no further. This remarkable residence presents a unique opportunity for a variety of lifestyles, whether you are a growing family, seeking multi-generational living, or simply desire ample room to breathe and entertain. The main house itself is a substantial four-bedroom dwelling, two of which boast their own en-suite facilities, providing comfort and privacy for residents and guests alike. The heart of this home is undoubtedly the impressive vaulted kitchen/dining room, a magnificent space designed for both everyday living and grand entertaining. Imagine preparing meals in a light-filled environment, with plenty of room for a large dining table, perfect for gathering friends and family. The two reception rooms offer further flexibility, providing distinct areas for relaxation, formal entertaining, or perhaps a dedicated study. One of the standout features of this property is the far-reaching views across open countryside. From many vantage points, you can enjoy the serene landscape, a constant reminder of the peaceful, semi-rural location. Despite this tranquil setting, you are just two miles from the vibrant coastal town of West Mersea, known for its beautiful beaches, sailing, and local amenities, offering the best of both worlds. Beyond the main house, the property truly excels in its offering of versatile accommodation. With over 3,500 sq. ft. in total, there is space for everyone and everything. A detached, self-contained one-bedroom annexe provides an ideal solution for extended family members, a live-in au pair, or even as a potential income stream through long-term rental or holiday letting. This independent unit offers its own kitchen, living area, and bathroom, ensuring complete privacy. Adding to the property's appeal is an additional detached cabin. This flexible space could serve as a superb home office, allowing you to separate work from home life, a dedicated guest suite, or another fantastic opportunity for a holiday let, capitalising on the area's popularity. The possibilities are genuinely endless. Set within an approximate 0.62-acre plot, the property boasts extensive south-facing gardens, providing a wonderful outdoor haven for relaxation, play, and gardening enthusiasts. The generous grounds offer plenty of space for children to explore, pets to roam, or for simply enjoying the sunshine. Practicality is also well catered for with extensive gated parking, ensuring security and convenience for multiple vehicles. Furthermore, a garage and a large workshop provide ample storage for tools, hobbies, or even a classic car. This property truly offers a lifestyle, not just a home, combining spacious living with incredible flexibility in a highly desirable location. We are confident you will be as charmed by it as we are.
