Move straight in and enjoy the far reaching views across to the creek.
This is a superb and stylish modern six bedroom family home in the outskirts of the village of Thorrington. Only a short drive to the waterside town of Brightlingsea known for its sailing and various watersport activities. An immaculate home, deceptively spacious and with overall accommodation of 3,605 sq. ft. There is also the added benefit of approximately a four acre field (STMS) which is perfect for either leisure or a variety of livestock. Land that would lend itself to horses, alpacas, goats, sheep, to name but a few.
Relaxed evenings on the patio with a glass of wine and general chat, enjoying the last of sun and watching the fantastic sunsets is one of the most memorable things our vendors will miss.
Split over four levels the main accommodation has six double bedrooms, five bathrooms, including three en-suite. Arguably one of the highlight features of this home is the principle bedroom suite that includes a large walk-in wardrobe, en-suite double shower and incredible west facing roof terrace. There are three reception rooms – sitting room, family / cinema room and study, to the rear of the home an almost 20ft square kitchen/diner and separate utility opening onto a west facing patio/sun terrace. There is also a generous amount of off street parking and a double garage, with useful storage/office space or den above.
HISTORY
Originally a fairly impressive 1970s built home, having been in the same family for over 35 years, our current vendors have extended this house into this wonderful modern home that stands today. Initially adding the new double garage and, between 2014–2018 almost doubling the size of the house with meticulous care and attention, eye for detail and style and the use of quality materials. The result being an immaculate family home that is now simply too large for our vendors with children having flown the nest.
Note: The threshold of the property is approximately 20m above average sea level and there has never been ANY history of flooding at all that would have any impact on this property or its land.
