Situated on a generous corner plot, this is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented and thoughtfully extended four-bedroom detached home in the highly desirable and much-requested village of Colne Engaine. Offering both space and charm, this property is perfect for families or those seeking a peaceful countryside lifestyle while remaining well-connected to nearby towns and transport links.

Inside, the home boasts four well-proportioned double bedrooms, ensuring ample space for a growing family or visiting guests. The spacious lounge and dining area provide a welcoming and versatile living space, while the immaculate kitchen has been finished to a high standard and benefits from a separate utility room for added convenience. Both the kitchen and conservatory benefit from underfloor heating, enhancing the comfort of these key living spaces. The conservatory also features an air conditioning unit, making it an enjoyable space to relax in all year round. A downstairs WC adds to the practicality of the home, and the large conservatory floods the space with natural light, offering a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy views of the garden.

Externally, the property benefits from a private rear garden, which wraps generously around the property, offering excellent outdoor space. A garage and off-road parking cater to the needs of modern living. Its prime position on the outskirts of the village ensures a quiet and peaceful setting, yet it remains just a short stroll from the heart of the village. With stunning countryside walks quite literally on the doorstep, this home offers an idyllic retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Colne Engaine is a charming village located north of the River Colne, approximately ten miles northwest of Colchester. The village derives its name from the Engaine family, who were the principal landowners between 1279 and 1367, adding a touch of historical significance to the area. The community is well-served by a local primary school, a traditional village shop, and a welcoming pub, creating a friendly and close-knit atmosphere.

For commuters, mainline railway services to London Liverpool Street are easily accessible from the nearby town of Braintree, making travel to the capital convenient. Stansted Airport is just a 45-minute drive away, and excellent road links via the A12 and A120 ensure easy access to surrounding towns and cities.
