House For Sale £1,925,000
The property
River House is a beautifully positioned Georgian home located next to Colne Priory on the edge of the village of Earls Colne.
The property is one of the Colne Valley’s most notable homes and it sits inside two acres of breath-taking grounds that include a wall lined driveway, around 160 meters of frontage to the river Colne, a large pond and dozens of ancient trees. The grounds are a haven for wildlife including deer and a variety of birds.
The accommodation incorporates sympathetic or original period features such as sash windows, grand fireplaces, wall panelling, oak doors, iron radiators, cornicing, two bay windows, recessed shelving, dwarf cupboards, feature fireplaces on the first floor and exposed wood floors.
Our clients have invested significantly into improving the layout and modernising the building in recent years. This includes the redecoration of all rooms including new window dressings, a reconfiguration of the first floor to create an impressive master suite, an orangery extension off the kitchen, a total bespoke re-fit of the family bathroom, a newly appointed utility room and the addition of a wrought iron balcony that allows some impressive views of the gardens and river.
Other improvements that are less obvious to the eye include the roof being renovated and the electrics being upgraded (with new switches fitted); the timber frame has been treated and most of the sash windows have been reconditioned.
Bungalow annex
A 780 square foot detached bungalow annex sits adjacent to the house. This has also undergone significant renovation in recent years which includes a new roof, a reconfiguration of the room layout, a total redecoration, a new kitchen, a new bathroom and the additional of bi-fold doors to the rear garden. The bungalow is ideal as a granny annex or could be used as a large office, or for Airbnb.
Location
River House is found on the outskirts of the village of Earls Colne, a substantial, active and well-served village in north Essex. As such the house is within walking distance of a village supermarket, several pubs and restaurants, a primary school. The Essex Golf Club & Country Club and The Colne Valley Golf Course are both just a short drive from the house.
For commuters, Marks Tey and Kelvedon train stations are both within easy driving distance where services run the heart of the City of London. Colchester is around ten minutes away by car or bus with all necessary services plus some excellent schools.

What Three Words location: ///applauded.bracelet.fluctuate
Points to note
The property is connected to mains water, electric, sewerage and gas. The house is registered in council tax band G and the annex is band D, with Braintree District Council. The house does not require an EPC rating due to its listing. Broadband speed 24 Mpbs but we understand a faster service is available in the street. The property is Grade Two listed. Curtains and blinds are included (subject to the sale price agreed).
*The agents believe that the detached annex entitles buyers to enjoy significant relief on their stamp duty under the sdlt Relief scheme for properties with multiple dwellings. We ask that buyers verify their own and the property’s eligibility with their solicitor prior to making any offer.
