Country house for sale in Moor Road, Langham, Colchester, Essex CO4

This exceptional village home, located in highly sought-after Langham, offers outstanding accommodation over three storeys - comprising two reception rooms, kitchen / family room, utility room, boot room, cloakroom, study, five bedrooms and three bathrooms. The property also benefits from an insulated and heated outdoor garden room, double garage, off-road parking and extensive gardens of approximately 0.8 acres (sts).

This outstanding property has been extended and continually improved by the current owners since it was first purchased by them, creating the exceptional family home it is today.
The property enjoys a central location in highly sought-after Langham, with its plethora of strong, community lead amenities and excellent transport links.
The property is set back from the road and is approached via an in / out gravel drive, which leads to both the double garage and entrance porch.
Once inside, a spacious hallway offers a place in which to greet guests before moving through to the main living accommodation.
The dual aspect living room benefits from direct access onto the garden - with an inset wood burner creating both additional warmth and ambience during the cooler months.
For those who enjoy formal dining, a dedicated space is located off the entrance hall and easily accommodates a good-sized dining table.
Adjacent to the dining room, the beautifully appointed Wentworth kitchen is presented in warm, Shaker style - enhanced by granite worktops and solid oak to the peninsula. The peninsula itself provides space for casual dining / breakfast seating.
Open from the kitchen, the family room offers a space in which to relax whilst enjoying views across the garden.
The utility room and boot room ensure all laundry paraphernalia and outdoor wear are kept out of the way of the main household.
A cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
The two upper storeys play host to a study and five bedrooms - two with their own ensuite facilities - and the family bathroom.
Outside, the cedar-clad garden room is fully insulated and heated and provides additional accommodation - albeit a dedicated office space, artist studio or perhaps a teenage retreat.
All that being said, the glory of this property lies in its gardens. With a south-east facing aspect, the garden commences with a large patio - ideal for outside dining and entertaining - which leads onto an organically landscaped lawn, beautifully interspersed with mature fruit trees and shrubs. The lawn meanders down the garden to a further patio area - ideal for capturing the evening sunshine - and a pedestrian gate.
The gate opens onto a more rural aspect, with grounds ideal for those looking to achieve the 'Good Life' - with a vegetable garden, chicken coop and plenty of space for other self-sufficient endeavours.<br /><br />
