About
The property Jasmine Cottage is for sale for the first time in decades and offers an opportunity to create a family home that makes good use of its pleasant grounds and outlook.
The house needs general modernisation including a refit of the kitchen, bathroom and WC.
Given its good-sized plot (0.22 acres), the property warrants a side extension (stp), however buyers may choose to investigate the potential for replacing the dwelling with a new property positioned further back from Bentley Road.
Location The cottage is located in a rural position in Little Bentley, around four miles to the south of Manningtree, around nine miles from Colchester and around 11 miles from Harwich.
Directions Postcode: CO7 8SS What3Words location: ///places.original.flickers Points to note The house is registered in council tax band B with Tendring District Council.
It is connected to mains water and electricity supplies. It is heated by an oil-fired boiler and has a private sewage system. EPC rating: F. Ofcom broadband estimate: 40 Mbps download speed.
Ofcom mobile phone coverage estimate: Indoor = limited. Outdoor = likely.
This area of Little Bentley and Bentley Road falls within an area earmarked for the potential creation of a haul road, for the proposed Five Estuaries and North Falls wind farm schemes.
The property will be sold subject to an overage clause which applies in the event that a second separate dwelling is consented in the grounds. Please ask agent for details.
