GUIDE PRICE: £ 650,000 TO £ 700,000
THE PROPERTY
Top Cottage is situated in an idyllic position at the end of a quiet lane in the village of Fordham. On entering the property, you will be greeted by a spacious entrance hallway which also, at the rear, has a downstairs cloakroom.
To the right you will find a large kitchen/dining room providing the perfect space to entertain friends and family. The kitchen is well equipped and comprises a four-ring gas hob, an electric oven, plenty of wooden storage units, splash back tiles, space for a large fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer.
The dining room, with its beamed ceiling, is open plan to the kitchen and is spacious enough to comfortably accommodate 8/10 guests.
The double aspect sitting room is light and airy with a feature fireplace currently housing a gas coal effect stove and has lovely views over the South/East facing garden.
The first floor comprises four double bedrooms (one is currently used as a study/snug), three have views over the garden, the fourth overlooks the front of the house. There are two bathrooms, a family bathroom with a bath, separate walk in shower cubicle as well as a heated towel rail, and a fully tiled "Jack and Jill" shower room serving bedrooms three and four.
The current owners have cleverly used the landing space to create a further study.
Outside the private and secluded South/East facing garden is laid to lawn with mature shrubs and trees. It also comes with a paved area where one can sit and enjoy the morning sunshine. There is a greenhouse as well as access to the garden on both sides of the house. There is off street parking for 2/3 cars and a double garage.
LOCATION
Fordham is a sought after village on the outskirts of the historic city of Colchester. The house backs on to a village green and is surrounded by Woodland Trust land which provides numerous walks. It has a community hub next to the Church which has a café, post office, and a variety of market stalls every Friday. There is a well-established village pub/restaurant, a village hall with playground and playing fields, and a primary school.
There are also two private preparatory schools nearby as well as a range of highly sought after secondary schools. The Colchester Royal Grammar School for Boys and the Colchester County High School for Girls are among the best-performing schools in England.
Locally there are miles of foot and bridle paths along the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Beauty & Stour Valley. Nearby Colchester has all the convenience of a large town, and closer still is the retail park at Tollgate with Sainsbury's supermarket, Marks and Spencer, Next, and a range of other shops and amenities. There are great transport links nearby with the A12 less than 5 miles away, as is the A120 which leads to Stansted Airport. There are also direct mainline links to London from Marks Tey or Colchester mainline station.
