Additional Information
I have briefly mentioned the house as well as the two outbuildings but I would also like to bring to your attention the further opportunities to extend the existing footprint of the property (not included in the initial asking price).
The successful purchaser at an extra cost subject to separate negotiation as an example can drastically increase the square footage of the property if required. Plans however have been drawn up as an example- see additional attached plans to create a single storey extension to the rear of the property that will increase the existing sq ft of the house on the ground floor by a further 750 sq ft as shown in the artwork to the rear elevation. The external dimensions will be approx. 9m wide by 8m deep. If required the purpose of this extension would be to provide a large open inside/outside space with bifold doors leading out onto a large patio area on the ground floor to the rear and side area where a large oak Pergola will then be constructed giving covered access onto a swimming pool and BBQ area as shown in the artwork. The roof of the extension will be decked and surrounded with a glass balustrade thus increasing the balcony area by an additional 750 sq ft and enabling access from the first floor landing to the rear of the property as well as the master bedroom out onto the roof of the extension and could be used as a social area benefiting from the south facing aspect with extensive open rural views.
There is also the opportunity as mentioned for a swimming pool and oak built covered entertainment/BBQ area. Stables and paddock
The house has been constructed in the most sustainable/eco-friendly way by using natural materials such as timber/oak frame and lime rendering on the house as well as mixing cutting edge technology with the insulation and heat retention in tandem with the air source solar heating systems.
I have listed below some of the features and ideas that the house will benefit from:
House Heating System:
The house will be heated by an air source heat pump that will sit outside of the property, this will be backed up with an array of solar panels that will sit on the back roof of the cart lodge, the air unit will be 16 kw, this supplies the house with hot water and heating throughout. The ground floor will have under floor heating and will be controlled by wired thermostats in each area. The first and second floor will have radiators and will be regulated with thermostatic valves to control each area. The cost of running this large family home will be significantly reduced by the implementation of these systems.
Annexed Heating:
The heating System in the annex will also have its own air source and solar systems supplying the building with hot water and heating
Water harvesting system:
All the rain water from the roof of the house as well as the out buildings will run into a 4800 litre tank, the water then gets pumped back to the main house as grey water to supply the toilets, this water will also supply the feeders of the flower beds around the house as well as the sprinklers to the front lawn .
Exterior lighting:
To the front and rear of the house and in the garden areas as well as trees there will be up lighting to enhance the appearance at night this will be controlled from the service room of the house.
Electric vehicle charging:
A three phase electrical supply has been implemented to the property to ensure any future demands/requirements such as vehicle charging points etc. Are met sufficiently.
The Victorian School, St George's C of E Primary which was founded in 1863 is a short walk away and within the County Town of Colchester there are excellent educational facilities with the Grammar School for boys and girls, together with the Ipswich High School for girls at Woolverstone and Orwell Park School at Nacton.
Within the village there is a picturesque church with a local public house which is managed and run by the community, open part time from Thursdays through to Sundays. The Cross inn houses a post office every Wednesdays and holds various community events.
There are excellent walking, riding and cycling routes in the area, together with sailing on the Rivers Stour and Orwell.
In conclusion:
This is a unique opportunity to have the house of your dreams completed to an excellent standard to meet all of your needs and taste as well as an extensive selection of extras and as mentioned above “anything is possible”.
