4 bed country house for sale

Picotts Place, Ardleigh, Colchester, Essex CO7

Occupying a pleasant position within Picotts Place in the sought-after village of Ardleigh, this immaculately presented detached home offers a wonderful balance of space, light and practicality. Built by well-regarded Vaughan and Blyth Homes, with modern living in mind, the property provides well-proportioned accommodation throughout, complemented by a wrap-around garden that creates a sense of privacy and openness.

The ground floor offers a calm, well-considered layout that works effortlessly for both everyday life and entertaining. From the entrance hall, the living room provides a generous yet comfortable setting, centred around a fireplace that adds warmth and character. Glazed doors allow the space to open naturally into the adjoining areas, creating flexibility when needed while still retaining a sense of definition.
To the rear, the kitchen and dining room forms the true hub of the home. Clean lines, ample storage and broad work surfaces combine with a central island to create a space that is as practical as it is inviting. French doors draw in plenty of natural light and open directly onto the garden, encouraging an easy connection between indoors and out. A separate utility room keeps household tasks discreetly out of sight, while a cloakroom adds further convenience.
A dedicated study completes the ground floor, offering a quiet and adaptable room suited to home working or a range of other uses.
The first floor continues the sense of light and balance found throughout the home, with well-proportioned rooms arranged off a central landing. The principal bedroom offers a generous and peaceful retreat, complete with its own en suite shower room, finished in a contemporary style.
Three further bedrooms provide comfortable and versatile accommodation, suitable for family living, guests or home working if required. The family bathroom is fitted with both a bath and separate shower, creating a practical space designed to meet the needs of a busy household.
Outside, the property enjoys wrap-around gardens that provide a real sense of space and privacy. A paved terrace sits directly to the rear of the house, creating an ideal spot for outdoor dining and entertaining, with the remainder laid mainly to lawn and enclosed by fencing and established planting.
To the side, there is off-road parking leading to a detached garage, offering additional storage or potential for a range of uses.
Altogether, this is a beautifully presented family home that combines space, style and practicality in a highly desirable village setting.
