About
A beautifully presented five bedroomed family home, conveniently situated within the heart of the Village.
Built in 1895 by the distinguished Hunt family—eminent industrialists instrumental in shaping Earls Colne’s 19th-century development—this impressive Victorian townhouse occupies a highly regarded position in the heart of the village, rich in character and period charm.
From the moment you step inside, the home reveals its grandeur.
Impressive high ceilings extend throughout, creating an immediate sense of space and refinement while allowing natural light to enhance the home’s exquisite proportions.
Original features and period detailing contribute to an atmosphere of understated luxury, offering both timeless charm and a truly distinguished living environment.
The beautifully appointed sitting room offers an inviting yet sophisticated retreat, centered around an elegant feature fireplace and enhanced by bespoke fitted shutters, creating a space that is both stylish and serene.
The adjoining dining room, equally impressive in scale, also boasts a striking feature fireplace, providing an ideal setting for formal dining and entertaining.
To the rear, the home features a thoughtfully designed fitted kitchen, which flows seamlessly into a charming breakfast room. A cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
The first floor hosts a sumptuous principal bedroom, complemented by two further well-proportioned bedrooms, one of which is being used as a dressing room and a beautifully appointed family bathroom, with rolltop bath and separate walk-in shower cubicle.
Rising to the second floor, the accommodation continues with two additional bedrooms, a further family bathroom, and a useful store room.
