THE HOME Welcome to this exquisite property that boasts elegance and functionality.

The lounge, situated at the front of the home, is accentuated by a striking double-glazed bay window fitted with electric remote-controlled blinds. This inviting space includes a radiator and a useful understairs cupboard, making it both comfortable and practical.
At the heart of this home lies the magnificent open-plan living area at the rear, which offers abundant space for a large dining table and inviting sofas, complemented by the warmth of underfloor heating. The room features elegant marble-effect tiled flooring that seamlessly connects to the entrance hall. The dual aspect design, highlighted by double-glazed bifolding doors that open to the rear garden and an additional double-glazed window to the side, along with a spacious double-glazed skylight overhead, fills the area with natural light and provides a delightful view of the outdoors. The kitchen is a chef's delight, boasting a stylish array of matching base and eye-level units for optimal storage, a high-end Miele electric oven, an integrated fridge/freezer, and a central island with a host of cupboards and drawers. Additional features include worktops with an inset Neff induction hob and an extractor above, as well as a sink with a mixer/boiler tap, and an integrated washing machine and dishwasher.

Ascending to the first floor, the landing leads to the stairs that continue to the second floor and provides access to three double bedrooms, one of which is en-suite, and a luxurious family bathroom. Bedrooms three and four are positioned at the rear, offering serene views overlooking the well-kept garden, while bedroom two at the front features a double-glazed window for plenty of light, along with a radiator and a beautifully designed en-suite shower room. The en-suite is elegantly fitted with a spacious double shower cubicle, a low-level w/c, a hand wash basin in a stylish vanity unit, a matte black heated towel rail, and an extractor fan.

The family bathroom reflects the high standards displayed throughout the home, featuring a bath with a glass screen and shower over, his-and-hers hand wash basins in a chic vanity unit with storage beneath, a low-level w/c, sumptuous marble-effect tiled flooring, and a chrome heated towel rail, along with a double-glazed obscured window.

The second-floor landing leads to the opulent master bedroom, another bathroom that can function as an en-suite, and an area for additional storage with access to the boiler cupboard. The master bedroom is a peaceful retreat, enhanced by three double-glazed Velux windows, complete with fitted blinds, an eaves storage cupboard, and full-length fitted wardrobes from Sharps.

The second-floor bathroom features a luxurious standalone roll-top bath, a sink in a vanity unit, a low-level w/c, a double-glazed Velux window, a heated towel rail, elegant marble-style tiled flooring, and an extractor fan.

The detached garage is a versatile space with a personal door, power, lighting, and a water supply, accessible via Clairmont Road.

At the front, a well-maintained block-paved driveway accommodates several vehicles, surrounded by flourishing bushes, plants, and trees, with an additional gate allowing convenient access to the rear garden.

    Established in 2006, John Alexander Estate Agents has stood out as a property company that goes beyond the norm. Our focus is on delivering exceptional customer service and world-class marketing, but our core emphasis lies in fostering meaningful relationships – be it with our valued clients or our dedicated staff. We pride ourselves on continuously pushing boundaries and setting industry standards. Understanding that the manner in which we conduct our work holds greater significance than the sheer volume of it, we prioritise quality over quantity. Rooted in a genuine commitment to people, we consider ourselves a people-centric company that happens to specialise in property dealings, and we are confident that we excel in this domain better than anyone else. A significant milestone for John Alexander Estate Agents occurred in December 2023 with the completion of the rebrand of Jackson & CO Property Sales. This strategic move involved merging Jackson & CO Property Sales with the existing John Alexander – Tiptree office. With the rebranding completed, John Alexander Estate Agents will now be operating under two distinct offices: John Alexander – Colchester and John Alexander – Tiptree. This expansion is indicative of our dedication to serving a broader client base and reaching new markets. Throughout our evolution and expansion, John Alexander Estate Agents maintains a customer-centric approach. This involves placing a strong emphasis on understanding and meeting the needs of clients. Whether assisting in property transactions or managing rental properties, we prioritise transparency, effective communication, and delivering results that exceed client expectations.
