Description
To the rear of the shop are wooden pigeon-holes, which surround the area. It is here the owners hosted their regular Table of Eighteen wine-tasting dinners. A skylight is situated at the rear of what is a flat-roof rear section, which extends to the warehouse at the rear and side. The wooden pigeon-holes remain intact.
It is accompanied by a Grade II listed, four-bedroom country home with mature gardens and paddock to the rear, with potential for development, subject to planning.
The property occupies a prominent position on the A134 Colchester to Sudbury, road. It benefits from being in the centre of a popular village set in beautiful countryside. It is surrounded by other villages, just 3 miles from Colchester mainline station with direct lines to Norwich, Ipswich, Chelmsford, and London. It is a mature commuter-belt area, 4 miles north of Colchester town centre, 5 minutes from the A12.
The timber framed Georgian house has accommodation comprising two main reception rooms located to the front of the property, study which gives access to the shop, kitchen with double door opening to the dining room access to a separate utility room with a shower room and a garden porch. The owners refer to the porch as their ?happy place?, where peace and quiet can be enjoyed, as well as garden parties.
On the first floor are three good-size bedrooms, plus a small, single bedroom, and a large bathroom. These are interconnected on two levels (one is two-steps below the other) and accessed via two stairways, back, and front, the front stairway still with its original rails, this being the main feature of the hallway.
The generous size rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with large and mature with roses, a walnut tree, a chestnut tree, and a mulberry tree, amongst others, and what is known to the family as ?the secret garden? surrounded by shrubs and trees. It has a patio and a shed.
Palmer & Partners would recommend an early internal viewing to avoid disappointment. EPC: D

There is potential for a development in The Paddock at the rear of the garden. Currently, this land is wild meadow.

There is also a second shed situated in the near corner of The Paddock, accessed via a stone step walkway.
