Exceptional Farmhouse with Swimming Pool & Extensive Living Space - Stanway

£5,000 pcm Available for Short or Long-Term Let

A rare opportunity to rent a substantial and characterful farmhouse on the outskirts of Colchester, combining the space and charm of a country property with the convenience of an accessible residential location.

Offering exceptionally generous and flexible accommodation, the property would make an impressive long-term family home and benefits from extensive living space, private front and back garden, ample parking and superb leisure facilities including a private outdoor swimming pool and hot tub (hot tub can be removed if preferred).

The house retains considerable character, including exposed beams and period features, while providing the space and amenities required for modern family living.

Accommodation

The property offers five principal bedrooms, together with additional flexible rooms which could be used as home offices, playrooms, guest accommodation or further reception space.

Several of the bedrooms are particularly generous, with flexibility to allow rooms to be configured according to the needs of the household.

There are four WCs and three bathrooms, providing excellent facilities for a larger family.

Downstairs, the property provides substantial reception and entertaining space, including multiple living areas and a dedicated playroom/family room.

At the heart of the home is a large, fully equipped kitchen, providing plenty of space for family life and entertaining.

A separate pool house with its own facilities provides further useful and flexible accommodation.

Outside

One of the property's outstanding features is its outside space.

Tenants will enjoy exclusive use of the house and gardens, together with:

• Private pool (current heater allows operation between May-September roughly
• Private hot tub (if wanted)
• Generous Gardens
• Pool House
• Ample off road parking
• Multiple garages for storage

Location

Situated in Stanway on the outskirts of Colchester, the property offers an unusual combination of space and privacy without the isolation normally associated with a large rural home.

Everyday amenities are within easy reach, while Colchester and the surrounding area provide a wide range of shopping, schooling, leisure and transport connections.

The property is particularly well suited to a family looking for significantly more space than a conventional modern home while retaining convenient access to local amenities.
