Detached house to rent in Marsh Farm Lane, Alresford CO7

Wivenhoe 1.4 miles and Essex University 2.3 miles.
This stunning, light filled stable conversion is situated in one of the most beautiful elevated locations with uninterrupted views of the surrounding farmland and the River Colne estuary.
The property enjoys a tranquil location, immersed in nature ideal for the professional/creative couple to work from home or relax at the end of the day. From the sunrise and breakfast on the deck watching the boats sail by, to a sunset sundowner on the terrace accompanied by the sound of birds on the estuary.
The spacious, semi- open plan layout combines contemporary style with the traditional features of vaulted ceilings, exposed brickwork and weatherboard exterior. The neutral décor throughout imbues a relaxing and calming ambience.
The accommodation comprises an entrance hall with bench seat and coat storage, with large utility cupboard housing a washing machine and immersion heater. This leads to a small reception area with door to the rear terrace. Next is the generous, light filled dining hall with French doors onto the deck with its glorious views. Leading from this room is the well-equipped kitchen with built in appliances and a range cooker. The main reception room adjoins the kitchen and benefits from a wood burner, TV aerial and all round views with French doors to the wrap around deck. Heading back to the front entrance, you find the second bedroom with feature wood panelled wall and arched windows, overlooking the river. This would easily adapt to a further reception room or work space. The main bath/wetroom has a walk in shower, bath and non slip flooring. The third bedroom is a generous single which could alternatively be used as a dressing room. The main bedroom next door has feature panel walls, TV aerial, dual aspect views and ensuite.
The property is finished to a very high standard with porcelain tiles throughout and carpets in two of the bedrooms. The eco-conscious features include solar panels providing hot water, under floor heating serviced by a ground source heat pump, double-glazing and high-level insulation.
Waters Reach is situated at the end of a shared private lane and has parking for two cars. There is a garden shed suitable for bicycle storage. Surrounding the property is a grassy area and a small coastal style garden for the use of tenants. As the property does not have an enclosed garden and occasionally has livestock grazing in nearby fields, pets are not recommended.
Immersed in nature and feeling quite remote, yet having the benefits of neighbours not too far away, it has the convenience of all the amenities of the town of Wivenhoe close by. There are cycle routes from Wivenhoe to Essex University and Colchester. There is also a fitness centre at Essex University which is open to public.
