The historic town of Colchester lies approximately 15 miles to the south east, again offering a wide range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities, together with a fast commuter train service to London Liverpool Street taking approximately 50 minutes.

Outside And Gardens
Park Farm stands back from Park Road and is approached over a granite chip driveway, with a circular sweep to the front of the house with a central area of lawn providing parking for several cars. To the side of the driveway is an area of lawn fronted by a well clipped lonicera, box, and holly hedge and an area of lawn drops down to a natural pond which is flanked by a mature oak, silver birch and weeping willow. This area of garden in turn is screened by arched trelliswork over which are trained various flowering shrubs including honeysuckle and to either side are further plantings of shrubs affording privacy to the main area of garden. This area comprises an area of paved terrace adjacent to the house which is accessible from the conservatory and side hall/kitchen and this in turn gives way to lawns interspersed by planting and ornamental trees including flower and cherry and across the back it is screened by close boarded fencing and a raised area of decking. Arched trellis work leads on to a wooded area which is fenced off.
The driveway leads to the side of the house to the side of which is a tall brick and plinth wall and leads to a tarmac parking area for additional cars, giving access to a slate roofed single car-port and further open fronted storage building with double doors opening to the garden to the rear providing storage space for garden implements and machinery as required. To the back of the house, is a further area of lawn, again enclosed on two sides with close boarded fencing.
Beyond the garden to the north of the house is an area of fenced grass paddock and in all the property extended to about 2.25 acres. An additional area of land is available by separate negotiation extending the land to 7 acres if required.
