4 Bedroom bungalow ● School Lane, Great Wigborough ● £650,000
Coppers is an immaculate four bedroom single story dwelling occupying just over a quarter of an acre plot within a small village location with easy links to Colchester. Accommodation including a double garage amounts to 2068sqft.
Located in a quiet village lane and set well back from the road offering extensive off street parking for multiple vehicles including space for a motor home or boat for use at nearby West Mersea, famed for its regatta.
The architectural design sees the accommodation set around a private central courtyard, a calming space perfect for relaxation or al-fresco entertaining. This feature, made popular in Scandinavian design also allows for the property to offer two wings of the house. Entrance to the property is accessed centrally via the side of the house so that from the inner hallway, the left hand side houses the four double bedrooms and family bathroom, with the living accommodation and open plan kitchen dining room to the right.
The current owners have also made significant upgrades to the property creating stylish living spaces throughout. A complete renovation to the walls and ceilings has been undertaken which included the open planning of the kitchen and dining room which leads to the impressive lounge and new conservatory. A new integrated kitchen and utility were installed along with new flooring throughout and new internal and external doors.
Aesthetic changes have been to the front façade with the addition of a modern dark composite cladding as well as altering the driveway’s access point to allow an even higher degree of privacy with more parking and a contemporary feel to the approach.
From the laurel borders, jasmine and clematis in the courtyard to the leafy hedgerow borders and trees in the garden the property enjoys a haven of greenery on its doorstep. With neighbouring properties also on one floor, the gardens are completely un-overlooked and private, allowing for the quietude often sought in a village/ rural living. The rear 95ft garden is laid mainly to lawn interspersed with mature shrubs. Flower beds and a kitchen garden with a greenhouse are bordered by a low brick wall with two sheds available for storage.
To the front of the property, there is a large shingle driveway and double garage which has been fitted with electric roller doors to offer better storage and parking.
