3 bedroom detached bungalow

£500,000 to £550,000 Guide Price

Located in the Village of Bradfield on a plot of over a third of an acre, this 2015 built Two/Three Bedroom Detached Bungalow has huge potential for further development and is being offered with no onward chain.

Features include, 20' living room, 31' conservatory, kitchen/utility area, master bedroom with ensuite, family bathroom suite, underfloor heating with individual room controls, ample off road parking to the front with space for a garage (stp) and a 160' x 71' max rear garden with greenhouse and timber shed.

As mentioned, this bungalow has huge potential for further development as the previous owner had the mindset to future engineer the 34' x 19' loft room with space and provisions for upto three additional bedrooms and wash facilities (stp). Indeed the entrance hall was even designed accommodate a staircase to the first floor from a storage cupboard without the need to use any of the already spacious floorplan.

Externally, the plot measures just over a third of an acre with the 79' wide front garden offering ample off road parking with side vehicular access to the rear garden. The rear garden measures 160' deep by 71' at its widest and backs onto open countryside. As well as the greenhouse, timber shed and other outbuildings, there is a covered and disused well which we understand was used for irrigation on the plot upto the 1980's.

In the village of Bradfield itself, there is a Post Office and Village Store, Primary School and Public Houses, whilst Manningtree High School is under three miles away. Nearby, is the picturesque village of Mistley with its historic quayside, Georgian houses and Mistley Towers, site of the Robert Adams designed 18th century church, now part of English Heritage. A few miles away is Manningtree, located at the head of the River Stour and still displaying its historical heritage as a prosperous town for wool and cloth. Famous for its swans, sailing barges and brewing, it offers a wide range of restaurants, antique and craft shops, gastro pubs and inns as well as a supermarket.

Although enjoying a rural location, Bradfield is well connected to major towns and cities by the A120 (A12), giving fast and easy access to Colchester, Ipswich and the international Port of Harwich. The area is served by railway stations at Mistley and Manningtree, with regular services to London Liverpool Street which is just over one hour’s travelling time.

This picturesque part of Essex is great for outdoor activities so you can take the family out, walk the dog or simply step back in time and absorb the places Constable knew and loved including Flatford Mill, a Grade 1 listed watermill and the inspirational location for famous works such as the Hay Wain.

Within easy reach is Colchester, Britain’s oldest recorded town featuring historic buildings such as Colchester Castle, which houses some of the most important Roman finds in Britain. Today Colchester is a thriving modern centre, home to Colchester Royal Grammar School which enjoys a reputation for academic excellence, as well as museums, theatres and galleries including first site, a contemporary visual art gallery. It also offers excellent shopping, from well known stores to quiet lanes of smaller specialist outlets and award winning restaurants and gastro pubs, including those at the nearby Mersea Island which is home to the famous ‘Colchester Native’ oysters.

Also a short drive away is Ipswich, situated at the head of the River Orwell and home to a wide range of attractions including shops, bars and restaurants which line the attractive Waterfront Haven Marina. There are historic buildings, parks and museums all within a few minutes stroll of each other, as well as the weekly Cornhill and Ipswich outdoor markets and cultural venues which offer everything from classical concerts to contemporary art.
