*** GUIDE PRICE £850,000 TO £900,000 ***
Occupying a unique position adjacent to the historic Chappel &
Wakes Colne Railway station. Formally a public house, the property
was purchased in the 1980’s as a private dwelling and more recently
was purchased by the current owner who has completely restored the
property, which now presents as a stunning family home full of
charm and stylish decor throughout. Now with the addition of a
recently constructed large garage with mezzanine floor and separate
detached outbuilding which could be ideal for office space or
(STPP) annex accommodation.
The property is found in a cul-de-sac location, at the end of
the entrance to the Railway station. A few minutes walk from the
house is Chappel village shop, The Swan restaurantpub and a good
primary school are also within easy reach. Colchester and Earls
Colne are both around four miles east and west respectively where
all necessary services can be found. The station runs an hourly
service between Sudbury and Marks Tey (providing access to London
Liverpool Street).
The accommodation consists of, entrance hallway with stairs
rising to the first floor, doors give access to the ground floor
starting with the lounge, this room is a good size stretching the
length of the property with the open fire place literally taking
centre stage, there are further double doors opening through to the
dining area, a room filled with natural light and the recent
addition of a large island in the middle of the room. The breakfast
room and separate kitchen areas are both open plan from the dining
area making this the ideal entertaining space for family and
friends alike. The breakfast area affords views to the side of the
house making this an idyllic space to sit and enjoy a morning
coffee whilst the kitchen has recently undergone a total re-fit.
From the kitchen walk through to the rear lobby passing by the
handy utility room and downstairs cloakroom, there is also hidden
stairs from the kitchen via a ‘trap door‘ allowing access to the
cellar. There is a second reception room which can be utilised as
you would see fit, this is at the front of the property and of a
good size, in our opinion it would make for a good second sitting
room.
The property sits in a total plot of (CIRCA) 0.30 acres, STS.
The well-established rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with a
variety of trees and plants (including fruit trees) and there is
also a small side garden that enjoys the evening sun. In addition
there are a collection of outbuildings that could be converted to
garaging or (subject to planning) could be used as additional work
from home office space.
Upstairs on the first floor there are four bedrooms all of which
are double in size and served by a recently fitted family bathroom.
The smallest bedroom enjoys views over the historic railway
platforms and carriages, the perfect view for any young child or
train enthusiast.
Outside; the property is approached via a driveway which offers
ample off road parking for many cars and gives access to both
outbuildings. Fenced off from the garden which is accessed by a
personal gate to the side, initially with recently laid patio area
and steps to a raised lawned area, a good sized space with various
trees and small plants being completely unoverlooked. As previously
mentioned there is a recently built oversized garage with mezzanine
floor, this could be used for many purposes from restoring an old
classic car, to potentially running your business from home, the
mezzanine floor offers further space, perhaps for a gym or an
office.
