Description
*GUIDE PRICE £850,000-£900,000*
A charming and heavily extended detached residence, occupying a private and secluded position in the highly desirable village of Great Bromley. Ideally located between Colchester, Manningtree and Weeley, the property benefits from excellent transport links, with nearby rail services to London Liverpool Street and easy access to the A120 and A12.
Set within approximately one acre of beautifully maintained grounds and surrounded by picturesque countryside, this exceptional home has been lovingly cared for by the current owners over many years. The grounds feature a superb outdoor swimming pool with a patio surround, ideal for entertaining and enjoying the peaceful setting.
The total accommodation extends to approximately 4,000 sq. ft., including a range of versatile outbuildings currently used as games rooms, a gymnasium, garages, and office space.

Flood Risk
Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
