THE OVERVIEW John Alexander are pleased to present this six-bedroom country residence. Steeped in period character and full of charm, it provides generous, flexible accommodation, featuring multiple reception rooms ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The sumptuous master suite-with its own dressing room-offers a secluded retreat. Set within approximately one acre of beautifully mature gardens (sts), the grounds also include a peaceful wooded area and a private heated swimming pool.
STEP INSIDE Entering the property into the entrance hall, which provides access to the dining room and the kitchen.
The spacious dining room, showcasing exposed beams and an inglenook, flows into a grand reception room with an open fireplace and multi-aspect windows that flood the space with natural light. From here, a separate family room/snug opens off, complete with its own fireplace and a sliding door to the garden, ideal as a quiet retreat, playroom or study.
The generous kitchen provides ample storage and worktop space and has an external side door. Features include a pantry, further storage, a striking brick fireplace and exposed beams.
The kitchen connects to an inner hallway with access to the downstairs cloakroom, a ground-floor bedroom and a boiler room housing the heating equipment with additional storage; this in turn leads through to the garage.
From the dining room, a second inner hallway gives access to a modern ground-floor shower room and another bedroom, and also houses the stairs to the first floor.
Two well-proportioned bedrooms, one currently arranged as a gymnasium with a sauna, complete the ground floor.
The first floor comprises four bedrooms. The principal bedroom includes a dressing room, while bedroom two also enjoys a large separate dressing room. A shower room and a separate bathroom serve and complete this level.
STEP OUTSIDE The expansive garden features a large patio, lawn with mature planting and a tranquil shaded, woodland nook, with mature trees creating a natural canopy, with a rustic, raised timber walkway running beside a shallow water feature.
The heated swimming pool is enclosed with fencing and the area includes a hot tub and summer house.
The property benefits from an oversized two-car garage with internal access via the boiler room.
THE LOCATION Situated in the picturesque village of Little Oakley, this property provides a peaceful lifestyle while offering convenient access to local amenities. A diverse array of shopping options is just a short drive away in nearby Harwich.
For commuters, excellent transport links are readily available. The village is well-connected by road, with the A120 and A1250 ensuring easy access to larger towns. Additionally, Harwich International Railway Station is nearby, offering efficient train services to destinations including Colchester and London.
There are a variety of educational options, with several primary and secondary schools located in Harwich.

About this agent

Established in 2006, John Alexander Estate Agents has stood out as a property company that goes beyond the norm. Our focus is on delivering exceptional customer service and world-class marketing, but our core emphasis lies in fostering meaningful relationships – be it with our valued clients or our dedicated staff. We pride ourselves on continuously pushing boundaries and setting industry standards. Understanding that the manner in which we conduct our work holds greater significance than the sheer volume of it, we prioritise quality over quantity. Rooted in a genuine commitment to people, we consider ourselves a people-centric company that happens to specialise in property dealings, and we are confident that we excel in this domain better than anyone else. A significant milestone for John Alexander Estate Agents occurred in December 2023 with the completion of the rebrand of Jackson & CO Property Sales. This strategic move involved merging Jackson & CO Property Sales with the existing John Alexander – Tiptree office. With the rebranding completed, John Alexander Estate Agents will now be operating under two distinct offices: John Alexander – Colchester and John Alexander – Tiptree. This expansion is indicative of our dedication to serving a broader client base and reaching new markets. Throughout our evolution and expansion, John Alexander Estate Agents maintains a customer-centric approach. This involves placing a strong emphasis on understanding and meeting the needs of clients. Whether assisting in property transactions or managing rental properties, we prioritise transparency, effective communication, and delivering results that exceed client expectations.
