Accommodation
Ground floor
The ground floor flows from a welcoming hallway into two elegant south-west-facing reception rooms - a living room and separate dining room - both filled with natural light. The dining room features bespoke built-in bookcases, while the adjoining kitchen with pantry has been designed to blend traditional charm with modern practicality. A utility room, boot room and cloakroom complete the ground floor, creating a home perfectly suited to both everyday living and entertaining.
First floor
Upstairs, two generous bedrooms overlook the gardens, complemented by a large family bathroom and a third bedroom currently arranged as a dressing room.
Barn
A beautifully converted barn forms a self-contained annex, offering remarkable versatility - equally suited to use as a guest suite, home office, studio, gym or independent living space. The ground floor provides a large flexible area with a separate storage room, while upstairs features a newly fitted bathroom and additional bedroom.
Outside
The gardens, extending to around 0.3 acres, are a particular highlight - well maintained and mainly laid to lawn, framed by mature cherry and holly trees, new fencing and multi-aspect views creating a sense of peace and openness.

Perfectly positioned for semi-rural living yet within walking distance of Alresford village and its direct trains to London Liverpool Street, and a short drive to Colchester, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a home that combines period charm, modern comfort and exceptional flexibility - a timeless retreat within a truly special private estate.
