House For Sale £1,100,000
The property
The Limes is one of Thorpe-le-Soken’s most notable period buildings, occupying a substantial plot on the High Street with easy access to everything this vibrant village has to offer.
The property has been under our client’s ownership for several decades and during that time it has been greatly enjoyed as a family home and also maintained in sound working order. This includes the replacement of the windows throughout the entire building and the construction of the substantial outbuilding.
The property's interior does require some modernisation however we believe the room layout is already well-suited to modern lifestyles, making The Limes a project which is perfectly suited to those with a passion for interior design.
The house includes three beautifully proportioned reception rooms with full height sash windows, fireplaces, high ceilings and shutters. Other features of note include a dual aspect master bedroom suite with wonderful views over the grounds, a cellar, a playroom and a sauna room on the first floor. All six of the bedrooms can accommodate a double bed if required.
Grounds and outbuildings
As illustrated by the site plan, the grounds, which total 1.86 acres, are orientated to the southwest. They are mostly private and include large areas of lawn, wild garden, fruit trees, a greenhouse, a pergola with a vine, a productive kitchen garden, a large patio and a pond.
Much of the garden is walled and well-established trees feature throughout the grounds including along much of the boundary.
A modern detached outbuilding sits on the western boundary and is easily accessible from the driveway and the road. This measures around 1020 square foot and is subdivided into a double garage at the front and a workshop/studio/garage at the rear. This building is currently used for storage but it has superb potential (subject to planning) for those with serious hobbies, for home workers or even as an annex. Further outbuildings include a workshop, a tool shed, a store and a gardener’s WC.
Location
The Limes is prominently positioned at the centre of Thorpe-le-Soken, a vibrant village in north east Essex, between Frinton and Colchester. Facilities within a short walk include a Tesco Express, three pubs, a delicatessen, a bar/restaurant and a number of boutique shops. Tendring Technology College and Rolph Church of England primary school are less than five minutes’ walk from the front door.
Thorpe le Soken Train station is around three quarters of a mile from the house where a service to London Liverpool Street runs with an average journey time of one hour and twenty-six minutes.
