A peaceful and tranquil location, 20 minute drive South West of Colchester Approximately 2.8 acre plot (sts) backing on to open fields. Ideal for those looking for a smallholding to grow your own products and keep a selection of livestock. Alternatively, the paddock could be used for a small pony.
The property in School Lane, Great Wigborough was initially bought as a project and a huge amount of alterations have already been undertaken with new fencing panels at the front of the property on order for installation. It is now offered up for a new owner to take the property even further.
The substantial renovations undertaken include, installation of new electrics and heating with an air source heat pump and wet underfloor heating, a remodeled layout of kitchen and installation of a new shaker model which includes a hidden utility, Quooker hot water tap and new appliances. New flooring and tiling is predominant throughout with a new cloakroom also fitted. New anthracite double glazed windows have been put in as well as a matching front door.
The 2.8 acre plot has been well tended to with much of the overgrowth cleared in the formal gardens to provide manicured lawn areas, a hidden garden and kitchen garden. To the side of the gardens you will find a secluded heated outdoor pool and pool house. The land to the back has also been tended to but left to an attractive natural wilderness, old farming outbuildings here add a significant extra footprint to the property and could be developed further subject to the necessary permissions.
The current owners, who are moving out of area and will offer the property as end of chain, have said that new owners may wish to extend the property into the loft and extend where the current conservatory is.
The front drive has been cleared to allow more parking but could now be re-surfaced and external cladding or render could be chosen to alter the aesthetics to the exterior of the property. Inside, there are some remaining works to be undertaken that include installing a new family bathroom and en-suite with the remainder of some plastering and skirting works.
The Hollies is a fantastic family home in a beautiful semi-rural location that offers someone the chance to own a great plot of land with outbuildings to develop and a house to extend, personalize and enjoy for many years to come.
The village of Great Wigborough is situated to the South West of Colchester, between the village of Peldon and Layer-de-la-Haye. The area is predominantly well known for its rural views and nature reserve near the Abberton Reservoir. Water sports are also enjoyed at Mersea Island, whilst further attractions such as Colchester Zoo and Layer Marney Tower are also close by.
The centre of Colchester is approximately 15 minutes drive away which caters for a broad range of commercial entertainment, shopping and educational amenities and its railway station provides a regular service to London Liverpool Street with an approximate journey time of 55 minutes.
The county of Essex is distinguished by its open, undulating farmland and offers a broad range of leisure pursuits including a number of local golf clubs such as Five Lakes which is a short drive away. The Essex coast offers extensive walks, bird watching and sailing, particularly on Mersea Island to the South which is renowned for its array of fresh fish eateries. The location also benefits from plenty of countryside walks, nature trails and cycle routes.
