About this property
Tucked away in the charming village of Alresford, Colchester, this exceptional four-bedroom detached bungalow offers a rare blend of privacy, space, and lifestyle – all set within 1.36 acres of beautifully maintained grounds.
From the moment you arrive, the sweeping gravel driveway creates an impressive approach, leading to a stylish double cart lodge and ample additional parking. Surrounded by mature trees and established hedging, the property enjoys complete seclusion and is entirely unoverlooked – offering a private retreat in a tranquil village setting.
Inside, the home is spacious and thoughtfully designed, with four generously sized double bedrooms, office (or fifth bedroom) and flexible living areas perfect for families or those who love to entertain. Natural light floods in through large windows, highlighting tasteful finishes and a seamless connection to the outdoors.
Outside, the grounds are a true lifestyle feature. A paddock lies to the rear, ideal for hobby farming, pets, or further development (STPP), while vegetable allotments invite self-sufficient living. The gardens are expansive yet manageable, with plenty of space for relaxation, recreation, and entertaining.
Completing the package are three outstanding outbuildings: Including a summer house, a fully equipped gym and a versatile workshop/annex – ideal for home businesses, guests, or creative pursuits.
Situated in the sought-after village of Alresford, the property benefits from a peaceful rural ambiance while remaining just a short drive from Colchester town centre, excellent local schools, and mainline rail links to London in under 50 minutes.
