A beautifully presented, energy-efficient detached home with panoramic views, set in 3.18 acres and exceptional living space.
Built in 1999 and set behind electric gates, the property, known as 'Colneridge House', is a striking A-rated four bedroom, detached family home combining traditional architecture with contemporary design. Occupying about 3 acres, including landscaped gardens and paddocks with separate access, the property enjoys uninterrupted countryside views and is situated in the charming village of White Colne, nestled on the northern banks of the River Colne, around 8 miles from Braintree with a rail service to London Liverpool Street.
The property is entered from the front into a welcoming hall with stairs rising to the first floor. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with bespoke hardwood cabinetry, granite work surfaces and integrated appliances, including a large fridge, a gas hob, an oven and a ceramic sink. There is an adjoining breakfast area leading to the light-filled conservatory, with views across the gardens and surrounding countryside. A well-equipped utility room with matching cabinetry provides space for further appliances and external access. There is a cosy sitting room with inglenook fireplace and multi-fuel burner, a formal dining room and a study.
Upstairs, a spacious central landing leads to four well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal suite is a dual aspect room with far-reaching views, alongside a dressing area and an en suite featuring both bath and separate shower. Bedroom two is a double room with extensive fitted wardrobes. Bedroom three benefits from rear-facing views. Bedroom four, though smaller, remains a double room. A contemporary family shower room with dual basins and a large walk-in shower serves the additional bedrooms.
Outside
The property is discreetly positioned back from Colchester Road and approached via a set of electronically-operated gates, opening onto a spacious gravelled driveway and leading to a double garage with an adjoining workshop/store and loft space above. Next to the double garage is a further shed plus greenhouse.
To the side, a charming garden is enclosed by mature hedging, offering privacy and a delightful outlook. At the rear, a generous paved terrace provides an ideal space for outdoor entertaining, gently descending to an expansive formal lawn and a seating area beside an ornamental pond.
The gardens are beautifully landscaped and thoughtfully planted with a variety of trees, shrubs and hedging, blending into the adjoining paddock. Extending to about 3 acres, the paddock offers excellent potential for equestrian use and features a productive vegetable garden with a polytunnel. A separate track provides convenient vehicular access to this area.
