LOCATION DETAILS:

From the A120 between Colchester and Harwich when heading in the Harwich direction take the A133 sign posted to Clacton & Frinton On Sea. Continue to the next roundabout at Frating and then continue along the single carriageway towards Weeley and Clacton for a couple of miles. Then just before you reach the next large roundabout there is a turning off to the left, Crown Lane that is sign posted to Tendring. Proceed to the far end of Crown Lane and then turn right into The Street and The Gables will be found several hundred yards along on the left hand side. Alternatively from the Horsley Cross roundabout on the A120 follow the sign posted route to Tendring and upon reaching the village bear left, near the church, along The Street. The village of Tendring is centrally situated in the Tendring Peninsula and is therefore within 15/20 minutes driving distance of Colchester, Clacton, Harwich and Manningtree. There is a highly regarded primary school within the village and mainline railway access to Liverpool Street via Manningtree or Thorpe Le Soken stations which are within 10/15 minutes drive.

NOTE:

The property has been partially used for a commercial venture since 1990 when the 'The Meadows Montessori' nursery school (For up to 20 children) was established by the owners and whilst this was originally from two rooms within the house the property was extended with a purpose built facility to expand the operation of the school and provide the property with an indoor swimming pool complex in the mid 1990's. With a view to retirement the property is now being sold and the existing business could be acquired if required or the accommodation could be utilised as either self contained annexe accommodation or alternative commercial use, subject to planning approval. The swimming pool could be used commercially to create additional income for the owners of the property.
