Freehold

Description

Fishpits Cottage is an idyllic country house set in beautiful gardens on the rural outskirts of Bures. Originally a farm manager’s cottage, this unlisted property has been significantly improved over the years and especially by the current owners to create a home of exceptional style and taste. In brief, the well-presented accommodation comprises: an entrance lobby, entrance hall, sitting room which opens into the dining room, garden room, superb bespoke Knight Country Kitchen/breakfast room which flows into a similarly fitted utility/boot room, cloakroom, ground floor master bedroom with an ensuite bath/shower, 2 first floor double bedrooms and an ensuite shower room.

An adjoining studio provides Scandinavian-style guest accommodation with a vaulted living space, mezzanine bedroom, sauna and a wet room. Further outbuildings include garaging, a large workshop/store, garden and timber stores.

Outside
The beautifully planted and established garden forms a further important feature, as it creates its own oasis and totally tranquil environment. It incorporates lawned areas, well stocked flower and shrub beds, a variety of trees including fruit trees, an alfresco dining terrace with a woodfired hot tub, as well as a fish pond with water fall features and a safety grill.

Location
Despite its rural location, the cottage is within striking distance of Bures. Bures provides for more extensive needs including village shops, a doctors’ surgery and a branchline station which connects onto the mainline at Marks Tey for London Liverpool Street. Colchester is about 11 miles with highly regarded schools including Colchester Grammar for boys and Colchester High School for Girls. Closest supermarkets such as Waitrose, Sainsbury’s and Tesco’s can be found in nearby Sudbury.
