3 bed detached house for sale

Colne Park Road, White Colne, Colchester, Essex CO6

***Currently under construction *** Set away from the road in an elevated and secluded position is this barn-style three-bedroom detached home offering approximately 1,570 sq ft of beautifully presented single-storey accommodation.

Occupying an elevated and secluded position set well back from the road, this individual contemporary home offers beautifully presented accommodation with striking architectural features and an attractive barn-inspired exterior.

Approached along a private drive behind an established row of residential properties, the property enjoys a "tucked-away" setting while remaining extremely convenient for Earls Colne and the surrounding villages.

The centrepiece of the property is undoubtedly the impressive, vaulted kitchen/Breakfast Room, where exposed timber detailing and extensive glazing create a wonderfully light and spacious environment. Large black-framed glazed doors provide a strong connection with the outside, while the vaulted ceiling gives the room considerable character and scale.

The Kitchen/Breakfast Room is positioned at the far end of this room and has been designed with a range of light-coloured cabinetry, integrated appliances and a substantial central island incorporating informal seating.

Elsewhere, the accommodation continues the clean contemporary style, with neutral decoration and natural timber detailing. The principal bedroom is a generous space with a dressing room, en-suite and French doors leading to the decking area and providing far reaching views over open countryside.

The property stands within its own grounds and benefits from an elevated position, with areas of lawn and a substantial raised timber terrace wrapping around the house. The combination of black weatherboarding, red roof tiles and large areas of glazing gives the property a distinctive modern barn-style appearance.

There is a detached cartlodge, finished in black weatherboarding with a red tiled hipped roof and brick plinth. The open-fronted structure provides generous, covered parking, while the surrounding gravelled driveway offers additional parking and turning space.

Although quietly positioned away from the road, the property is particularly well placed for village life. Earls Colne village centre is approximately one mile away, offering a comprehensive range of everyday facilities including shops, places to eat and drink, schooling and other local services.

Colneford Hill also lies on the main bus route between Halstead and Colchester, providing useful connections in both directions.

For those who enjoy the countryside, one of the property's real attractions is the availability of picturesque riverside and countryside walks virtually from the doorstep, providing an appealing balance between accessibility and rural surroundings.
