THE PROPERTY

A charming late Victorian four-bedroom, three bathroom extended cottage nestled in the picturesque countryside of Aldham affording wonderful far-reaching views over open countryside. 0.2 acre.

Accommodation

Ground Floor

The property is approached via a charming side stable door, opening into a welcoming entrance hall/boot room with underfloor heating and bespoke fitted cabinetry, incorporating useful appliance storage. A cloakroom is conveniently positioned off the entrance hall.

From here, the accommodation flows into a capacious semi-open-plan living space. The dining area opens into a stylish and comprehensively appointed bespoke kitchen/breakfast room, individually designed and installed by Copford Kitchens. French doors provide a seamless connection to the garden.

The sitting room is a particularly inviting space, again benefiting from underfloor heating and centred around a wood-burning stove. Large windows afford superb views across the landscaped garden and the open countryside beyond. Completing the ground floor is a generous reception room featuring an attractive red-brick fireplace.

First Floor

The first floor is approached via a light-filled L-shaped landing, from which doors lead to four well-proportioned bedrooms. Two benefit from en-suite shower rooms, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom.

Outside

The cottage occupies an enviable position on the edge of open countryside, standing within approximately 0.2 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds. The principal garden enjoys a desirable south-westerly aspect, while to the northern boundary is an impressive covered entertaining area, complete with a brick-built pizza oven – an ideal setting for alfresco dining and entertaining throughout the year.

A private driveway provides ample off-road parking.

What's Nearby

The area is particularly well served for education, with a number of highly regarded schools in and around Colchester, including Colchester Royal Grammar School, Colchester High School, St Mary's and Holmwood House preparatory schools, together with Colchester Sixth Form College and the University of Essex.

For commuters, Marks Tey railway station is within easy reach, providing convenient connections towards London Liverpool Street and beyond.
