Part of our Signature collection, Devon Cottage is an attractive property occupying a plot approaching a fifth of an acre and located close to the amenities of this popular village on the eastern outskirts of Colchester.
This established house has been extended to the ground floor and benefits from gas central heating and feature leaded light windows. The house is well screened from Church Road with ample parking and a double garage.
An oak entrance door opens to the reception hall with stairs to the first floor with storage cupboard beneath. At the front of the property is a dual aspect dining room with wood block floor. The music room is open to the main sitting room which has a quadruple aspect including patio doors out to the garden. Within the room is a fireplace with gas fire and a built in dresser with cupboards and shelving.
The kitchen/breakfast room is at the heart of the home with space for table, tiled flooring, shelved cupboard and walk in pantry. There are ample storage units and built-in appliances include a 4 ring gas hob with light and extractor above, eye level double oven and there is space and plumbing for a dishwasher.
A lobby provides access to a cloakroom with toilet and wash hand basin and a door to the garage. There is a small study and utility room with plumbing for a washing machine and a vent for a tumble dryer, space for further appliances, sink and a recessed store area.
The first floor has a long landing, with storage cupboard and access to the loft, that meanders its way providing access to all of the bedrooms and bathroom. The principle bedroom has built in wardrobes and an ensuite shower room with shower, toilet and wash basin. The second double bedroom has built in cupboards and has a dual aspect. Bedroom three also has a dual aspect, with bedroom four having a wardrobe and built in desk with further storage. The bathroom has steps up to a bath, wash basin, toilet and bidet, whilst in the corner is the airing cupboard.
Devon Cottage is screened by hedging with a driveway providing ample parking with attractive planted areas and path to the house. The drive continues to the integral double garage with two sets of doors.
The rear garden has a patio area with planted beds leading out to lawns with mature borders and established trees which create a lovely backdrop to the property.
Location
The village of Elmstead Market has excellent local facilities including a primary school, Budgens shop, petrol station, church and cricket ground with open countryside at the end of Church Road. Adjoining Wivenhoe is the home of the University of Essex and also has a railway station. Colchester is close at hand and has all the facilities expected of a major town that in 2022 was awarded City status. Wider educational facilities and leisure amenities are found there with nearest supermarkets including Waitrose, Tesco, and Lidl.
