" A rare opportunity has arisen to acquire this fine country residence of character and charm, well situated in a secluded position in the ever popular village of Langham. Set within the heart of Constable Country and located to the North West of Colchester, Langham is within easy reach of Colchester's North Station with its mainline links to London Liverpool Street.

This approximately 150 year old oak barn was converted in 1963 and the property was virtually rebuilt. The result of this conversion is a property that retains its period charm with finishes and fittings being of a very high quality. The barn and its garage complex benefit from being in a secluded location with its own private road leading through to the beautifully landscaped grounds. The total plot is in excess of one acre and has far reaching views across the Essex countryside. There are a number of brick built outbuildings and a private courtyard including a timber framed thatched barn currently converted into a large games room.

The property internally has many outstanding features including visible use of the heavily beamed structure from the original building and a luxury bespoke hand fitted AGA kitchen which has featured in a Lifestyle Magazine. The main entrance hall to Alefounders Barn retains a feel of charm and elegance with its sweeping staircase leading to galleried landing overlooking the private courtyard. The accommodation throughout is spacious but retains a farmhouse feel.
