5 bed detached house for sale

Birch, Colchester CO2

An incredible opportunity has arisen to acquire a truly unique home that has not been offered to the market for over 26 years. Situated on approximately one-third of an acre, Birch Street is a remarkable former Police Station that has been thoughtfully and sympathetically converted to create a substantial and versatile family residence.

The property boasts an impressive 22ft x 15ft gallery, providing excellent potential for a self-contained annexe, home office, gym or hobby space. This area is complemented by a large WC and additional studio room, making it ideal for those seeking flexible accommodation.

The main house offers a spacious kitchen/dining room with French doors opening onto the stunning rear garden and surrounding countryside. Off the kitchen is a practical utility room and an additional ground-floor WC. There are also two generous reception rooms, including a comfortable lounge and separate sitting room.

The first floor features three well-proportioned double bedrooms and a family bathroom, while the second floor offers a further two double bedrooms, providing ample space for growing families.

Externally, the property is approached via a gated entrance with extensive parking for multiple vehicles. The substantial rear garden enjoys breath taking views across rolling countryside and offers a wonderful degree of privacy. The current owner has regularly enjoyed sightings of local wildlife, including deer, foxes, barn owls, and a variety of other countryside species.

Properties of this character, size, and setting rarely become available, making Birch Street a truly exceptional home that must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
