4 bed detached house for sale

Alphamstone Road, Lamarsh, Colchester CO8

The property
Peartree Cottage was built in 2001 and has been significantly improved and extended by our clients since they took ownership in 2019.

The ground floor is very well arranged with a large study, a playroom and a sitting room (with a log burner set within a red-brick chimney) all at the front.

A 32-foot kitchen/dining room runs the full width of the rear of the house allowing it to enjoy direct access to the patio (via two sets of bi-fold doors) and to enjoy an outlook over the rear garden. The kitchen has been nicely designed with limestone flooring, a large central island, shaker units, quartz surfaces, and quality fittings (including a wine fridge, an induction-hob, a butlers sink and a boiling water tap). Other ground floor accommodation includes a refitted utility room and a WC.

Features to note on the first floor include a master suite with full-height aluminium-framed double doors overlooking the garden from a Juliet balcony, a dressing room and a shower room. The three remaining bedrooms share a family bathroom which has a walk-in cubicle shower and a polished nickel bath.
Grounds and outbuildings

The property sits in landscaped grounds that measure 0.24 of an acre and which feature a variety of well-established trees.

A shallow stream which flows through the garden on its way to the River Stour was cleared and improved into a feature, with sleepers along its banks and a pedestrian bridge with wisteria growing above. Other features in the rear garden include a private patio with uplighters, a summer house, a jacuzzi with a privacy trellis, a deck overlooking fields to the rear, and a playground.

A 20-foot garage sits at the side of the house and at the front there is ample parking for numerous vehicles via an in-and-out-drive.
Location

Lamarsh is a pleasant village in the Stour Valley, which has the advantage of being only a short drive from several larger towns and villages.

The market town of Sudbury is just five miles away, where there are plenty of shops and supermarkets (including a Waitrose), and a leisure centre. The City of Colchester is only a twenty-minute drive, where Colchester North Station provides links to London Liverpool Street with a journey time of 50 minutes.

The Lamarsh Lion Community pub which must have one of the most impressive views of any pub in the county, is an easy walk from the house.
