THE PROPERTY The Granary is an 1849 built agricultural building which has been cleverly converted into a good-sized residential dwelling, to take advantage of its pleasant rural position. The property has been well maintained and updated during our client's period of ownership including a sympathetic refit of both bathrooms and the kitchen/dining room. The latter has plenty of space for a four- or six-person dining table and is fully fitted including a double electric oven and an induction hob.   More recently the roof was replaced as were the windows and doors on the north side of the building. Although comfortable (note the EPC rating of C and under floor heating in most of the house) and functional, the house retains much of its original character including high ceilings, and exposed beams and studwork. The layout is also practical, with a WC and utility room off the kitchen and the ground floor study being tucked away and fully fitted with a desk and cupboards. GROUNDS & OUTBUILDINGS The grounds total 0.3 of an acre and include a driveway with parking for several cars and access to a detached double garage building. The garden lies mostly to the southern and western side of the house and has privacy from the neighbours; it includes plenty of areas of lawn, two sheds, a pond, numerous trees (including a eucalyptus) and a patio which runs the length of the rear of the house and which has direct access from the kitchen and the sitting room. LOCATION The Granary is one of a cluster of three dwellings created from the past conversion of Flories Farm in Great Tey. The village centre is around a mile from the house and includes a village hall, a primary school, a church and a pub (The Chequers) which serves food. The location is rural, allowing unspoilt views from many of the rooms in the house and grounds; there is also direct access to the bridleway from the garden, which leads to many miles of footpaths heading either northwest to the village of Earls Colne or southwest to the small town of Coggeshall (both around three miles away). Both locations offer a range of shops, services and places to eat. Colchester City Centre is around ten miles from the front door and Marks Tey train station is just under five miles away, where a service to London Liverpool Street runs with a journey time of 55 minutes.

It has a private sewerage treatment system and is heated by an oil-fired boiler. EPC rating C. Ofcom states that Ultra Fast Broadband (1000 Mbps) is available at the property. The house is link-detached however it is only connected to its neighbour on the ground floor, along the western boundary of the utility room. The property benefits from a right of way from Flories Road via the driveway of Flories Farmhouse. A bridleway skirts the inside of the boundary including part of the driveway.   An EV charger is located inside the garage which is connected to solar panels on the garage roof; the charger is available subject to separate negotiation.
