With open countryside on your doorstep. The village has a diverse friendly community with a mixture of various family sizes, old and young, with activities for all, a local farm shop, public house, church and an abundance of dog walks, country walks and cycle rides.
Approximately 15 minute drive to Colchester North Station, frequent service and a direct link and, at peak, less than an hour into London Liverpool Street. Alternatively the branch line at Bures, changing at Marks Tey, is 6 minutes away.
This select development was originally built in 2000-2001 and this home illustrates the high quality of that original build. Internal accommodation of approximately 2,303 sq. ft. A wonderful home, that offers flexible living and that you can ‘move straight in’.
This has been a very enjoyable family home for our current vendors for over 15 years and when leaving they will undoubtedly turn back and remember the happy times and celebrations they’ve had. They’ll miss the convenience and contrast of being so close to the open countryside and only a short drive to Sudbury town and Colchester city centres and, the mainline station.

Three reception rooms – large lounge, family room and study (that has been used as a 6th bedroom), a kitchen/diner with separate utility, double garage and a very generous amount off street parking.

Also off the hall is the study (a large room that is currently used as a bedroom) and downstairs cloak room. To the far right of the front door is the door to the kitchen and dining area. A good size kitchen, with a selection of light wall and base level units with contrasting dark granite worktops, sink and drainer with mixer tap over, electric oven and induction hob, extractor fan, integrated dishwasher. A central island with granite top doubles as a breakfast bar but is perfect for prep and serving snacks and meals throughout the day, with drawers and cupboards beneath.

BROADBAND
Wormingford has 2 types of Fibre Broadband available
Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC)
The first is supplied through the BT network and is a ‘Fibre to the Cabinet’ service. This means that the Broadband service is provided along an existing copper cable from the Cabinet to your property.
Depending on how far you are away from the Cabinet will affect the broadband speed.
If you are very close (within ¼ of a mile) to the Cabinet then you could expect to receive up to 80Mb download and up to 20Mb upload. If you are further away, then the speed will drop away commensurate with the distance.
There are a range of Broadband Service Providers that you can choose from for this service.
Fibre to the Premises (FTTP, also called ‘Real Broadband’)
Fibre to the premises has become more recently available and can be ordered from 2 companies at present, County Broadband and Gigaclear.
You will need to check if the service is actually available now or if it is still being constructed and you are placing a ‘pre-order’.
As it’s name suggests this service is Fibre Broadband all the way to your property and whatever speed service you order that is the speed you should receive both for download and upload of data. Services generally start at 40Mb minimum and can be as much as 1000Mb.
Also with the ’FTTP’ service you might find that you have to change your existing telephones and any other services that are connected such as alarm systems or care lines.
