The living room is a particularly inviting reception space, centred around an attractive brick fireplace incorporating a wood-burning stove. Generous proportions and dual aspects create a bright and comfortable room, whilst glazed doors open through to the conservatory, allowing the living spaces to flow seamlessly together.
Overlooking the rear garden, the conservatory enjoys an abundance of natural light and provides an excellent additional reception area, with direct access to the outside terrace and gardens beyond.
The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of units providing ample storage and preparation space, with an open connection to the adjoining dining room creating a sociable environment for both everyday living and entertaining. The dining room itself is a well-proportioned space, enhanced by a vaulted ceiling and pleasant views across the garden, with further access to the conservatory.
Practicality is well catered for with a separate utility room offering additional storage and laundry facilities, together with a cloakroom/WC conveniently positioned off the entrance hall.
The first floor is arranged around a spacious central landing, creating a light and airy feel whilst providing access to all bedrooms and bathroom facilities.
The principal bedroom is a generously proportioned double room enjoying pleasant views over the surrounding area and benefiting from its own en-suite shower room. Three further bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for family living, guests or home working, with all rooms well presented and served by a family bathroom.
To the rear, the beautifully landscaped garden has been thoughtfully designed to provide both visual interest and practical outdoor living space. A substantial paved terrace extends directly from the house, creating an ideal setting for al fresco dining and entertaining, whilst hedging defines the transition to the lawn beyond.
The garden is predominantly laid to lawn and interspersed with established trees, specimen shrubs and colourful planting, offering year-round interest and a high degree of privacy. A winding brick pathway through the grounds links a variety of seating areas, creating a series of attractive garden spaces to enjoy throughout the day. A timber shed provides useful external storage, while the mature boundaries and open aspect beyond contribute to the delightful setting.

Agents Note - Material Information

Colchester City Council is currently revising the Local Plan for the area to cover the period to 2043, which is planned to be adopted as a statutory development plan in 2027. The early draft of this Local Plan, which has not been approved by the Council, included a proposal for 900 new homes to be built on agricultural land to the south of Langham. The Council's Local Plan Committee is due to consider the draft Plan for consultation purposes in August 2026 following consideration of representations and the need for further infrastructure.
