Borleys is an elegant and impressive four double bedroom Victorian home. Three bathrooms – that include two en-suite, stunning modern high-end kitchen/breakfast room, boot room, utility, three reception rooms - lounge, formal dining room, family room, and a superb oak framed garden room.
Outside is a home office, single garage and four storage barns of various sizes that have a variety of uses. There is off-street parking for several vehicles.
Approximately 3172 sq ft of accommodation sitting in generous gardens approaching 1 acre (STMS). Located in a tranquil, semi-rural position in the village of Abberton that is around 5 miles south of Colchester City centre.
Rarely does a period home of this quality and finish come to market. Dating back to 1860, mid Victorian period, this wonderful, detached home, with its red brick façade and light and airy rooms retains its original period charm with the mix and benefit of complementary high quality modern facilities and finish.
During the renovation and extension, over 10 years ago, care and attention was taken to retain many original characteristics including fireplaces and an abundance of leaded light stained glass windows amongst original sash windows.
The current vendors have thoroughly enjoyed their time at this home and lovingly ensured with no expense spared that the property has been kept and maintained to a very high standard. A light and spacious period house that from the moment you walk through the door feels like home.
POTENTIAL TO ADD VALUE AND ADDITIONAL ACCOMMODATION
There is an existing permission to extend Borleys above the garden room to provide a larger principle suite.
In addition beyond the extensive parking area and to the north of the house there is a good size lawn area that, subject to planning, can easily accommodate additional outbuildings or potential ancillary accommodation.
