Property summary
This detached 1920s built bungalow occupies a plot measuring 0.40 of an acre and is ideal for buyers with serious hobbies, work-from-home requirements or green fingers.

As it stands, the property can be arranged with up to three double bedrooms, which are supported by one or two receptions rooms, a family bathroom and a kitchen. Features include three bay windows, high ceilings, traditional internal doors and a front door with stained-glass.
Office/annex

During their time at the property our clients have run a successful nursery from a detached building behind the house. This has since been repurposed as an annex and measures 26-feet. It includes a kitchenette, a shower room and a fenced garden. We understand this building (and any other in the grounds) has consent for family annex use if required and it would also make for a fantastic office for anybody who works from home.

Garage & mobile home
A detached double garage is also positioned behind the house which has an electric roller door and a pedestrian side door.
A 25-foot mobile home which is in good order and which is located in the grounds of the property is also included in the sale.
Gardens

The house is set back from Colchester Main Road by a good-sized parking area and there is gated vehicular access to the back courtyard and outbuildings.

The garden beyond the annex and garage measures a further 150 foot and features areas of lawn with various hedges, a shed and a vegetable garden.
Historic planning consent

In 2015 our clients successfully applied for planning permission to build a much larger home on the footprint of the existing bungalow. This planning has lapsed however the plans are available on request to Brooks Leney. These give an indication of what could be achieved subject to a new planning application.
Location

Karita is found around a half a mile from the centre of the village of Alresford and is around six miles to the East of the City of Colchester in north Essex. Within an easy walk of the house buyers will find a village store, a Post Office and a train station where a service runs to London Liverpool Street.
