Offered for sale with no onward chain, Palmer & Partners are delighted to present to the market this elegant, fully renovated Grade II Listed Georgian farmhouse, enjoying a peaceful rural setting on the southern edge of the sought after hamlet of Copford Green, overlooking local countryside. Copford Green is a small hamlet surrounded by a triangular shaped green with a wonderful oak tree in the centre which was planted by the village residents to commemorate the Coronation of Edward VII in 1902. Adjacent to the green is a popular public house, local school, cricket ground and church. A wider selection of shopping facilities can be found locally at Marks Tey which is 2.3 miles away and offers a post office, public house, several shops and a train station which provides frequent services to London Liverpool Street. By road, Marks Tey links to the A12 providing access to London to the south, Ipswich and the coast to the north.

Colchester, the old oldest recorded city in England, is around 7 miles in distance and offers a wide range of recreational, shopping and educational facilities, including two grammar schools.

The property dates back to the 19th century with an abundance of original features and has been fully renovated by the current owners to a high standard. Internally the accommodation comprises entrance hall, lounge, library/second reception room, well-appointed bespoke fitted kitchen, dining room, utility room with access to the wine cellar, cloakroom, Victorian style Orangery and boot room on the ground floor. On the first floor four good size bedrooms, family bathroom and a separate shower room.
