Befitting its name, the property is enveloped by mature, Mediterranean-inspired gardens and occupies a particularly private position on highly regarded Stanway Green, amid an attractive collection of individual homes largely screened from view.
Having undergone a comprehensive programme of adaptation, improvement and extension, the property now offers an impressive balance of generous living accommodation, versatility and exceptional outdoor space.
The accommodation is approached via an entrance hall with tiled flooring and panelled oak internal doors leading throughout.
Positioned immediately off the hall is the third bedroom, finished with stripped wood effect flooring and benefiting from underfloor heating, double doors opening to the front aspect and a pocket door leading to an en-suite shower room with mosaic patterned tiled flooring.
Its position and configuration offer considerable flexibility, making it particularly well suited to guests, independent family members or potential ancillary/annexe style accommodation.
An inner hall opens into the expansive sitting room, a wonderfully light and inviting space enjoying a dual aspect and extensive glazing overlooking the rear gardens.
LED spotlights provide contemporary illumination, while a wood burning stove creates an attractive focal point.
The sitting room flows seamlessly into the impressive aga kitchen and dining room, forming an excellent open plan entertaining space equally suited to relaxed day to day living and larger gatherings.
Tiled flooring continues throughout, while a granite topped central island, traditional electric aga and an extensive range of fitted cabinetry combine practicality with character.
Sets of bi-folding doors, together with an additional side door, establish an effortless connection with the terrace and gardens.
The principal bedroom suite has been notably enhanced during the current ownership and incorporates a dedicated dressing room with glazed front fitted wardrobes, polished stone tiled flooring and a high specification en-suite shower room.
A further door leads out to the covered hot tub area.
A further guest bedroom is positioned off the inner hall and is served by a well-appointed family bathroom, complete with both a bath and separate shower enclosure.
A useful linen store provides additional practical storage.
The south-facing gardens are a defining feature of the property and have been thoughtfully landscaped to create a wonderfully private and tranquil oasis.
An extensive terrace provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, supplemented by a covered pergola, decked seating area and ornamental koi carp pond.
Established borders, mature trees and flourishing Mediterranean style planting, including a striking palm tree, lend the grounds considerable colour, texture and year round interest.
Multiple garages, a workshop and ample private parking further enhance the practicality and appeal of this exceptional home.
Stanway Green is one of the area's most appealing residential settings, characterised by individual homes, generous plots and a pleasantly established atmosphere.
Despite the property's secluded feel, it is conveniently placed for the extensive amenities of Stanway and nearby Colchester, providing ready access to everyday shopping, leisure facilities, schooling and a broad range of restaurants and services.
The position therefore combines the privacy and space associated with a more semi-rural environment with the convenience required for modern day to day living.
For commuters and those travelling throughout the region, the location is particularly advantageous, with straightforward access to the principal road network and connections towards Colchester, Chelmsford and beyond.
The combination of substantial single storey accommodation, adaptable bedroom space, extensive garaging and workshop facilities, south facing landscaped grounds and excellent accessibility makes Oasis an especially compelling proposition for a broad range of purchasers, including families, downsizers and those seeking flexible multigenerational accommodation.
