Detached house for sale in Halstead Road, Eight Ash Green, Colchester CO6

This beautiful family home sits amongst open fields on the edge of the village of Eight Ash Green, which lies just to the north of the A12 and the popular suburbs of Lexden and Stanway, close to the City of Colchester and all of its amenities. Yet the property’s isolated position still allows them to enjoy a countryside lifestyle and the property is located only a few moments’ drive to Marks Tey train station, which, like nearby Colchester station, offers regular services into London’s Liverpool Street Station, with journeys taking between 45 minutes and an hour. Finally, the property lies within the catchment for the popular Stanway School, and is also less than a ten minute drive to the Colchester Royal Grammar School.

A generous entrance offers access to the two main “wings” of the ground floor living space. To the immediate left is a good-sized study which is perfect for those who wish to work from home. Next to the study is a large sitting room with a west-facing window which floods the room with warm afternoon and evening sunshine and an electric wood-effect burner set into the hearth is the perfect place to gather on colder winter nights. Beyond the sitting room is a useful utility room, which includes a ground floor WC. The utility room opens out both to the back patio area and to the side, the utility room includes space for a washer and tumble dryer and includes a large Belfast-style sink. A door from the corridor opens up into the fabulous modern kitchen and open-plan dining area, which opens further out into the modern garden room. Together, these living spaces create one triple aspect living, dining and kitchen space that is absolutely flooded with natural light and is wonderfully airy and calm. The modern fitted kitchen comprises off-white cabinetry with an integrated dishwasher, under-counter refrigerator and a large induction range cooker. There is space in the kitchen area for an American-style fridge freezer, one of many elements which make this room perfect for a large family. A central island with a breakfast bar offers additional workspace, and its position next to a large south-facing window makes this the ideal spot to enjoy a morning cup of coffee. The kitchen is partitioned from the dining room by a lowered half wall, which cleverly distinguishes the two spaces whilst retaining the social benefits of an open plan area. The dining area then opens out into the glorious garden room. This triple-aspect space offers panoramic views of the immaculate gardens and grounds beyond the main house, and features bi-folding doors that open out to the sociable patio area. The room features a second electric wood-effect burner, also set back into a hearth with a stylish black surround. And while the room works as a second living space, it also seamlessly connects the indoors with the social outdoor space.

There are four large bedrooms on the first floor, including the master suite. Two bright, spacious bedrooms share the use of a large, modern family bathroom. The fully-tiled family bathroom includes a separate shower and roll top bathtub which is situated under a large window, offering a great vantage point from which to enjoy views of the night sky during an evening soak. From the landing there is also access to a useful cupboard room, ideal for storing less commonly used items. The third bedroom enjoys dual aspect views to the front and side gardens, with the front window facing south and looking out over miles of open countryside. This bedroom includes a private en-suite shower room, perfect for teenagers or for families of multiple generations. A final door on the first floor hallway opens into a “wow-factor” master bedroom suite. The master bedroom suite is modern luxury and style. Vaulted ceilings make the already large footprint of the room feel bigger and more airy, and four skylights shed extra light into this space. The focal point of the room is a large window which incorporates sliding doors that open out onto a private balcony with a glass balustrade, from here you can enjoy far reaching views over the garden and farmland beyond. The master bedroom also incorporates a generous walk-in dressing room and a modern, stylish en suite shower room with a double vanity

The gardens and grounds of this property extend to around half an acre (stls) and are designed with entertainment in mind. Immediately to the rear and part of the side of the house is a large patio area. The raised portion of the patio includes multiple sections for seating and dining, and also includes a bar and BBQ area, with stairs that lead down to a much larger dining patio. To the eastern side of the rear garden there are two large pergola areas. The second patio area can host a large seating area, and in this vicinity the current owners have also implemented a fire pit and standing for a hot tub. Much of the rest of the mature garden is laid to lawn and interspersed with various shrubs and other plants, including pear, plum and cherry trees. To the front there is another small garden area and a large shingled area for parking a number of cars. A tall willow and a eucalyptus tree provide additional privacy, and, together with the large hedges to the front of the property line they offer good separation from the road. Finally, there is a detached garage to the side of the main house, providing additional parking and storage space.
