STEP INSIDE House

Copford Green House is a wonderfully presented five double bedrooms detached farmhouse surrounded by breath-taking countryside views, idyllically set within its own grounds of around 3.5 acres. The owner has sympathetically renovated the residence from the ground up to blend a contemporary design whilst being sympathetic to the classic exquisite home.

“The first thing we noticed about Copford Green House was how bright and airy it is,” say the current owners of this stunningly situated country home, “with generously proportioned rooms and open family living spaces. The master bedroom particularly appealed to us, the views were outstanding, and we instantly planned to construct a balcony, which we did, and we now look out over the garden and take full advantage of the amazing views and often frequent to enjoy Sunday brunch or morning coffee there.”

Since moving in, the owners have made various improvements to the property. “We have carefully reconfigured the living accommodation to better suit everyday family life,” they say, “including the upgrades of en suite bathrooms to the bedrooms, as well as walk in wardrobes. The new bespoke open plan kitchen and breakfast room is ideal for everyday life and entertaining alike, with its breakfast bar, central island and sofa seating area, where family or guests can sit and chat while we prepare dinner. The kitchen leads into the dining room, in turn opening out onto the garden to create an easy flow between the indoor and outdoor spaces.”

Outside, the property has much to offer, too. “Approached through electric gates via a long gravel driveway, a generous parking area sweeps up to the front of the house,” say the owners. “Also to the front is access to two open fields, three stables and a hay store, making this the perfect property for a smallholding or equestrian pursuits. On either side of the house itself, lush lawns are contained by trees and fencing, with a decking area adjacent to the kitchen for easy al fresco dining and entertaining. In the warmer months, we love to host barbecues and soak up the sun together with family and friends, or simply sit and drink in the peace and quiet of the garden as we watch the wildlife and listen to the birdsong.”

Nestled in around 8 acres of land, in the hamlet of Copford Green to the west of , the location of the property is superb. “Nearby has a range of shops including a Post Office, convenience store, butcher and hairdresser,” say the owners, “while Colchester provides the area’s main shopping hub. Access to the A12 motorway as well as mainline rail services are available at Marks Tey. The village itself is very friendly, with an active community centre and welcoming pub, as well as excellent schools nearby. This is a fantastic area for walking and cycling too, while the seaside is also within easy reach. We really do have the best of both worlds here: peace and quiet coupled with convenience.”
