Boydens are delighted to present this exceptional six-bedroom detached family home, situated in the ever-popular village of Elmstead. Offering the perfect blend of rural charm and modern living, this beautifully designed residence benefits from easy access to Colchester and excellent transport links to London.

Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into a spacious entrance hall that sets the tone for the rest of the home. Two generous reception rooms sit to the front, both enhanced by large bay windows that flood the rooms with natural light. The larger of the two also features a charming fireplace, ideal for cosy winter evenings. Further along the hallway is a stylish downstairs W/C and a convenient under-stairs storage cupboard.

At the heart of the home lies the stunning, fully integrated kitchen. This contemporary space features an impressive suite of built-in appliances including three ovens, a microwave, a coffee machine, and a dishwasher. The central island hosts a hob with a sleek, built-in extractor fan and provides space for food preparation and informal dining. There is also ample room for a large American-style fridge-freezer.

Flowing from the kitchen is a third reception room, currently used as a relaxed living area – a perfect space for entertaining. This room benefits from both an electric fireplace and a log burner, creating a cosy yet stylish atmosphere. Beyond, the open-plan dining area is bathed in natural light thanks to skylights and bi-fold doors that open out onto the rear garden, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. The ground floor also includes a well-equipped utility room with a sink and space for a washing machine & tumbledryer, offering access directly into the garage.

Upstairs, the first floor comprises four of the six bedrooms, each generously sized and filled with natural light—ideal for a growing family. Three of the bedrooms feature beautifully finished en-suites with modern fittings, including walk-in waterfall showers, while the master suite also boasts a walk-in wardrobe. The luxurious family bathroom is equally well-appointed, complete with a bath and overhead shower. The second floor offers two further versatile double bedrooms, ideal for use as guest rooms, home offices, or children’s playrooms. Several rooms, including the master and top-floor bedrooms, enjoy views over the picturesque lavender fields to the rear.

Externally, the property is set on a substantial plot with a generous, well-maintained garden. Primarily laid to lawn, the garden also features a summerhouse, a shed, a decked area, and a patio in front of the summerhouse – perfect for relaxing or entertaining. There is side access on both sides of the property. The garage is fitted with a roller-shutter door, has power and lighting, and includes a personal door through to the utility room. To the front, the property benefits from a horseshoe driveway, providing ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles.
