Details

A truly outstanding, individual, four bedroom, detached, chalet bungalow set in this fantastic location overlooking open farmland, which (on a good day) looks towards Great Bromley Church in the distance. This attractive property is modern in design and was built by the present owners in approximately 2000. The well-planned family accommodation has been further improved and enhanced to a high standard, which would only be appreciated by an internal inspection.

Set out over two floors, but predominantly being over just the one level, the immaculate accommodation comprises a spacious entrance hallway/reception; a dining room/second reception; living room (with feature bay to garden); a luxury fitted kitchen/breakfast room (with appliances); utility room; cloakroom; three ground floor bedrooms (two with en-suites), and family bathroom/WC. On the first floor, there is a landing with access to a further first floor bedroom; an en-suite, and French doors opening to a small balcony with open views. Outside, the property is fronted by electric gates and brick pillars opening to a large driveway with access to a triple detached garage. There is a storage area to one side, and the garden continues to the rear, which is of excellent size with patios, swimming pool, pool house, and farmland views.

The residence is situated just outside the village of Frating and Elmstead Market approximately 6 miles to the east of Colchester. A popular village public house is close by, whilst Elmstead Market has a convenience store. The A120/A133 is approximately one and a half miles giving access to the A12 and Great Bentley train station with links to London Liverpool Street.
