7 Bedroom detached house ● Copt Hall Lane, Little Wigborough, Colchester ● £1,675,000
In a tranquil and picturesque setting is this superb five bedroom early 19th Century Grade II Listed farmhouse with incredible two bedroom barn conversion/annexe, home office and various outbuildings. All set in its own grounds of approximately 3.5 ac
A perfect home for anyone with two generations of a family looking to live together.
This elegant and attractive farmhouse is Grade II Listed and is believed to contain 14th century fabric behind its late 19th century red brick façade. Total accommodation of approximately 7476 sq ft
English Heritage state that the house is early 19th Century and therefore likely to be late Georgian. A brick in the façade of the house is engraved 1850, perhaps signs of early maintenance and evidence of a cross over into the early Victorian period.
It could be said that New Hall is an idealistic family home for anyone looking to enjoy peace and tranquility and, an opportunity to live the ‘good life’ paired with the convenience of being only a short drive into Colchester City Centre. Children can safely play and explore in the home’s three and half acres. Enough space for your own football pitch. Have some livestock – including chickens, ducks, goats or sheep and grow your own fruit and vegetables. A field that could be used by a small pony.
With no immediate neighbours, this home adjoins open countryside on the eastern side of Copt Hall Lane. From the Peldon Road to the end of Copt Hall Lane there are less than 15 homes.
Originally New Hall would have been the farmhouse for New Hall Farm, in the early 19th century a substantial farm of over 125 acres. In the 20th century the majority of the land and some outbuildings were sold off. Now as residential use remains the house, various outbuildings that include an incredible two bedroom and two bathroom barn conversion, and a plot of approximately three and half acres of land.
The land and farm buildings outside of the boundary of this property are now part of the arable farm which no longer has any residential house.
Updating and modernisation
When our vendors purchased their home some 17 years ago they were captivated by the location, character, land and potential for the existing outbuildings. The home was tired and needed some essential maintenance, modernisation and updating. They spent time and care in carefully planning alterations to the main house and outbuildings that would add value, pleasure and enjoyment to their family’s lifestyle. They have ensured that, wherever possible, the character and period features have been repaired, restored and maintained. The home is now back to its former glory. A perfect mix of timeless character with modern elegance. The décor and colour scheme are also in keeping with the homes heritage.
Internally they have extended and updated the kitchen/diner - now the space and size for family and social occasions and extended the inner lobby plus the addition of a fully glazed, light and spacious garden room to the northside of house that opens up onto the patio area, very enjoyable and useful during summer barbeques and al-fresco dining.
Outbuildings and annexe/ancillary accommodation
The added bonus to this home is the collection of useful outbuildings.
The key outbuilding is an absolutely incredible two bedroom, two bathroom detached barn conversion (1,200 sq ft) – perfect for families looking for annexe accommodation for grandparents or relatives but equally useful for guests or even holiday let (the area is known for its abundance of wildlife and is very popular with nature lovers and bird watchers alike).
Opposite to the main house is a stable block and store that on the ground floor has a stable and stores plus large wine cellar and, on the first floor a converted store that is now an office/studio with its own bathroom – perfect for those not commuting to the City every day or looking to run their own business and in need of a large home office. The office is light and airy so would be ideal for an art studio
To the rear of the main house is a very useful Nissen hut that has had various uses, from games room to its current use as a gym.
Other outbuildings include a second Nissen hut, timber barn, wood sto

Without a doubt there are two large driving forces for people moving to the area. The excellent range of private and state schools. The grammar schools annually top the league tables across the country. The range of private schools offer a more tailored education and are exceptionally well sought after. The second, being value for money, although, as the town grows, house prices within the area look to rise steadily within the coming years.
