Detached House for sale with 4 bedrooms, Wakes Colne, Colchester

A beautifully presented four-bedroom detached home extending to approximately 1,960 sq ft, enjoying a delightful rural living setting with countryside views, versatile accommodation, a contemporary kitchen/dining room, private mature gardens, and excellent space for modern family life and home working. It is a house nestled in nature. Spacious, light filled and airy, somewhere to savour the seasons. We have created a contemporary home which allows us to enjoy the beautiful countryside that surrounds it. In springtime, we watch the garden come alive from the comfort of the large kitchen/diner. Snowdrops followed by bluebells and later primroses. Birds foraging and nesting in the hedgerows. It's a great place to enjoy coffee and the newspaper. Through the large skylight in the main bedroom, you can drift asleep star gazing and waken to passing clouds. There is no better place to enjoy the entertainment of a dawn chorus. Summer is a time for celebration. With its expansive windows and wooden floor, our music room is the perfect place to entertain. Loved by family and friends who will spill out into the garden, to play, or enjoy a glass of chilled wine. Autumn is a riot of colour. From our study, which overlooks the garden, we can watch leaves pirouette and squirrels gather walnuts. This is an ideal home-office or playroom/home-learning area. In winter, after an amble in Chalkney Woods or a blustery stroll along Frinton beach, we love to retreat into the warmth and comfort of our sitting room. The log burner makes this a snug place to enjoy the dark evenings. We are members of The Essex Golf and Country Club which has fantastic facilities. The pool and Padel courts are our favourites. After a swim or game of tennis, we often drop into one of the local pubs or restaurants on the way home! However, nothing beats standing outside in the dark, where there's no light pollution, to contemplate the galaxy. The welcoming entrance hall leads through to the heart of the home, a stunning kitchen/dining room that has been thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Modern, light-filled and stylishly appointed, the kitchen enjoys extensive glazing and doors opening directly onto the garden, creating a seamless connection between inside and out. A separate utility room provides practical space for laundry and additional storage. The ground floor offers a selection of versatile reception spaces. The substantial sitting room is ideal for relaxing and entertaining, while the cosy snug provides a more intimate setting for quieter evenings. A dedicated office offers an excellent work-from-home environment, although it could equally serve a variety of alternative uses depending on individual requirements. A ground floor cloakroom completes the accommodation. Upstairs, the first floor comprises four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with the benefit of an en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom. One bedroom is currently arranged as a bedroom/office, providing excellent flexibility for growing families, guests or those working remotely. Several of the bedrooms enjoy attractive views across the surrounding countryside, adding to the home's sense of tranquillity and rural charm. The garden is a particular feature of the property and has been lovingly maintained to create a private and inviting outdoor space. Accessible directly from the kitchen/dining room, the garden is beautifully framed by mature trees, established shrubs and colourful borders, providing year-round interest and a high degree of privacy. Expanses of lawn create space to relax, play or entertain, while the surrounding planting softens the boundaries and enhances the peaceful atmosphere. The combination of mature landscaping, open sky views and the property's countryside setting creates a wonderful outdoor environment that can be enjoyed throughout the seasons. The nearby village of Earls Colne offers a range of everyday amenities including shops, supermarkets, cafés, public houses, restaurants, healthcare facilities and recreational clubs.
