THE PROPERTY
Moat Lodge is brought to the market for the first time since the 1950s and offers buyers the opportunity to renovate and potentially extend (stp) to create a superb family home that makes the best of its fabulous plot and location.
The property, most of which was built in the late 1800s, has over 1650 square foot of accommodation over two levels. It requires significant modernisation but retains much of its original appeal thanks to attractive brickwork, a peg tile roof, three decorative chimneys and two bay windows.
The grounds total 3.65 acres. Immediately adjacent to the house there is a large parking area, a timber garage building, a 36-foot workshop and around half an acre of lawned garden with a swimming pool (in need of renovation) and a pleasant backdrop onto neighbouring woodland.
A copse of oak trees which lies on the property’s northern boundary, (adjacent to Berechurch Hall Road), is interspersed with five additional outbuildings, most of which are in a state of disrepair and require clearance.
Beyond the garden is a 1.25-acre fenced paddock, and beyond that is a further area of woodland made up predominantly of willow trees.
LOCATION
Moat Lodge is one of a cluster of period homes found along the southside of Berechurch Hall Road on the southern fringes of the City of Colchester.
The City centre is just three miles to the north and train services to London Liverpool Street are located at both Colchester North Station (four miles) and Marks Tey Station (seven miles).
