Reynbank, Colchester Road, Colchester, CO7 6DL

Introduction Reynbank, which is offered for sale chain free and for the first time in decades, represents an outstanding opportunity (subject to planning) for a visionary self-builder to build a statement home in outstanding grounds.

The property The property sits in gardens that measure 1.38 acres (0.56 hectares) with the dwelling being positioned around 25 meters back from Colchester Road; it occupies an elevated position allowing views over its 120-meter rear garden.

The plot benefits from dozens of matures trees along its boundaries. There is also a copse at the foot of the plot as well as a pond and delightful views into the Blackbrook valley.

The dwelling measures 1142 square foot and can be arranged as either a two or a three-bedroom property - whilst its décor is somewhat dated, it has been maintained and is perfectly habitable.

There is a detached single garage and ample parking and turning space to the front.

The opportunity Whilst any development of the property would be subject to appropriate planning permissions, given the stature of neighbouring dwellings, the generous width of the plot along its road frontage and local precedent, we expect planning permission to replace the existing dwelling with a larger two-storey home would be achievable.

Any such dwelling would enjoy plenty of frontage as well as views to the rear over its own grounds and into the Blackbrook.

The location The property’s location is exceptional; whilst being less than half a mile (by roadside footpaths) from Dedham village centre, it is not directly affected by the hustle and bustle of Dedham’s riverside during the summer months.

It is also positioned sufficiently to the east and into the Blackbrook valley not to be affected by A12 road noise.

Dedham’s village centre includes a Co-op store, several pubs and restaurants and some of the areas’ most beautiful architecture.

The City of Colchester is around five miles to the southwest and the riverside town of Manningtree is around three miles away, where a mainline station provides direct access to the City of London with a journey time of around 60 minutes.
