4 bedroom house for sale

Overview

Part of our Signature collection, this substantial four bedroom detached house stands in grounds of 0.6 of an acre with range of outbuildings, ample parking and no immediate neighbours. It has been substantially upgraded and improved by the current owners to make a fine family home with annexe potential. Copeland is found along the A137 midway between Colchester and the centre of the village of Ardleigh. Over the last 10 years the owners have carried out a major upgrade of the electrics, installed uPVC double glazed windows and gas fired central heating, re-fitted kitchen and bathrooms, replaced new oak doors, and re-roofed the main house. They have also upgraded the drainage and installed a new private treatment plant. The result is a comfortable family home in excellent condition with potential for a variety of uses to the land and outbuildings with the added bonus to easily create an annexe out of the side accommodation.The front door opens to a long central hall with a turning staircase to the first floor and split level cloakroom facilities beneath. The sitting room enjoys a dual aspect with a central fireplace featuring a wood burner on a granite hearth and deep cornicing. French doors lead to the large conservatory with an arch to the garden room and access to the kitchen. The impressive kitchen/breakfast room is the heart of the home, with part vaulted ceiling, roof lights and tiled flooring. Fitted with granite work surfaces and ample storage, there is an island unit with space for stools along the breakfast bar. Appliances include an integral dishwasher, and we understand that the range will remain. The kitchen can also be accessed from the hall and is open to the living room, again with a wood burner on a granite hearth, deep cornicing and tiled floor. A side lobby leads to the potential annexe area where the family room, shower room and utility are found. The family room is around 26' deep and could be split into two rooms to create a bedroom and sitting room. Alternatively, it could make a good home office or playroom.
