    About

    The property

    A desirable home with classic Victorian proportions, high ceilings, and extensive accommodation, offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home of character and substance, ready to be modernised and restored to its full potential and has the additional opportunity for an annexe or additional dwelling subject to planning.

    The Property This extended Victorian home offers generous and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors, retaining the hallmark proportions and high ceilings typical of the era.

    While the property would benefit from a programme of modernisation, it presents an excellent opportunity to create a characterful family home tailored to individual taste.

    The ground floor is well laid out with a choice of reception spaces including a spacious living room and a separate dining room, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.

    A sitting room links through to a conservatory, providing pleasant views over the garden and additional living space which is filled with natural light.

    The kitchen/breakfast room offers good proportions with scope for reconfiguration, supported by practical ancillary spaces including a boot room and a boiler room.

    There is also a downstairs shower room for added convenience.

    Upstairs provides five good-sized bedrooms, reflecting the generous footprint of the house, along with a family bathroom and additional shower room.

    The layout lends itself well to reconfiguring, whether as a large family residence or to incorporate a principal suite and additional bathroom facilities, subject to requirements.

    The Outside The property is accessed via an in and out driveway with plentiful space to add extra room for parking.

    The generous garden wraps round the house with majority laid to lawn, a patio area with its borders made up of mature trees and shrubs.

    The property is complemented by an additional outbuilding which is not currently used but does have water supply.

    The Area Aingers Green is a small and highly regarded village in the parish of Great Bentley. It offers a peaceful rural setting while remaining well connected to everyday amenities.

    Surrounded by open countryside and farmland, the area is ideal for those seeking a quieter lifestyle with attractive walks, bridleways and a strong sense of community.

    A mile up the road is Great Bentley, with a doctors surgery and pharmacy as well as its renowned, 43 acre Village Green with excellent local amenities, Great Bentley Primary school and fantastic transport links: Both road and rail which has direct trains to London.

    Colchester is the closest city and can be reached within a 25 minute drive.
