4 bedroom detached house for sale

Presenting Alcott House, a cherished four-bedroom property brimming with character and offered for sale without any onward chain. Nestled within a private cul-de-sac, this residence spans approximately 0.2 acres and enjoys a serene backdrop of sprawling fields.

Embraced by the same family since its construction in 2006, Alcott House is a haven for those seeking space to grow or relish in the unexpectedly expansive back garden. Tucked away in a private and tranquil cul-de-sac off Colneford Hill, at the heart of White Colne, this property offers convenient access to Colchester, Kelvedon, and Braintree via main roads, appealing to commuters in search of mainline train stations without compromising on a quiet semi-rural lifestyle. Moreover, within walking distance lies Earls Colne, boasting picturesque walks through the Priory, a Church, CO-OP, Library, Golf Course, Recreation ground, and a highly regarded Primary School.

Approaching the house, a charming frontage welcomes with lawns flanking the path to the front door and a driveway accommodating multiple vehicles. Adding to its appeal, a nearly 20ft garage with barn-style front doors and a back patio personnel door enhance the property's practicality. 

Inside, the interiors boast versatility and exquisite detailing. Two reception rooms grace the right side of the house, comprising a gracious lounge and a separate dining room. The dining room, previously utilized as a bedroom, captivates with a distinguished finish featuring an alluring deep olive feature wall harmonizing with wooden flooring that extends across the ground floor. At the rear, the lounge accesses the patio through double doors, affording splendid views of the enchanting garden and is adorned with a captivating formed stone feature fireplace.

The efficiently designed kitchen, positioned at the front, offers ample workspace and storage, accentuated by integrated appliances, shaker-style cabinets, and tiled splashbacks. The ground floor also encompasses a well-appointed cloakroom and an under stairs coat/shoes cupboard, enhancing practicality.

Ascending to the first floor via a generously sized landing with garden views, the property reveals potential for a substantial loft conversion (subject to planning permission) due to the ample loft space.

The primary bedroom, situated to the rear, indulges in a spacious ensuite shower room and captivating vistas of the garden. Three additional sensibly sized bedrooms, all capable of accommodating double beds, benefit from radiator heating and double glazed windows, serviced by a sleek four-piece bathroom suite.

The surprise of an expansive rear garden mostly laid to lawn, bordered by fencing and framed by established greenery offering natural privacy, opens to vast open fields. Notably, the garden also features a fenced-off area designated for chickens.
