THE PROPERTY
Frating Lodge is a classically proportioned, early 1700s built detached home which is superbly located in grounds that measure 2.1 acres.
The house has a functional layout for a period home with three dual-aspect receptions rooms oriented around a large entrance hall. There are high ceilings, numerous windows allowing plenty of light and, although not listed, it retains period features including: exposed ceiling beams, studwork, heritage sash windows at the front, a detailed wooden staircase and some original doors.
The kitchen has been sympathetically modernised with Corian surfaces and includes a range cooker; both the breakfast room and the dining room have modern red-brick fireplaces, with the former including a log-burner.
The first-floor has five double sized bedrooms, one of which is in use as a study. Two of these rooms have en-suite bathrooms and family bathroom also has a cubicle shower.
GROUNDS AND OUTBUILDINGS
The grounds total 2.11 acres. To the front there is a 450-foot fenced lawn running adjacent to the drive, which leads into a turning circle and parking area with access to a large detached double garage.
Immediately adjacent to the house there is a formal side-garden with a parterre herb garden, and a private (south-facing) rear patio; this can be accessed by three sets of doors from the house, including one with a delightful treillage porch.
The remainder of the rear garden includes a wonderful mix of established trees (including Pyrus, Robinia and Cedar), lawns, an ornamental pond, and a large kitchen garden with raised beds, a potting shed and a greenhouse.
Further outbuildings include a charming gazebo which is ideal for summer evening entertaining and a detached barn with a kitchenette and a fireplace; this would make for an excellent office or hobby room.
LOCATION
Frating Lodge is one of two dwellings sharing a driveway and entrance off Clacton Road (sometimes knowns as “Main Road”) and is located between the villages of Frating and Elmstead Market, on the Tendring Peninsular.
Elmstead Market village centre is less than two miles from the house, where buyers will find a Budgens store, a petrol station and a Primary School. Colchester City Centre is five miles to the west where there are extensive services, and Frinton-on-Sea is ten miles to the east.
Colchester North Mainline station provides direct rail services to the City of London with journey times of fifty minutes.
