The original dwelling has been added to in recent years with the addition of a self-contained detached annexe. The symmetry to the front façade is typical of the Georgian era complete with bespoke double glazed sash windows and a decorative storm porch with exposed oak stud work and seating. Internally, the property has been sympathetically modernized whilst enhancing many of its original features. Timeless Amtico herringbone floors have been laid throughout the hallway, living room and family room with a striking polished brick floor in the kitchen/diner. The kitchen dining room is an exceptional space with a vaulted ceiling and is the perfect backdrop for its contemporary German kitchen with which to entertain and enjoy day to day living. The dining area has the capacity for many guests with two further sizable reception rooms with which to withdraw to.
The main central chimney, believed to be original, has been restored with reclaimed Tudor clay bricks with open hearth to the kitchen and an elegant open fireplace to the drawing room as well as cast iron fire fittings in the main bedroom and bathroom on the first floor.

On the first floor, an impressive triple aspect galleried landing enjoys elevated views to the front over the village green and Colne Valley. This leads to four bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principle bedroom is located above the family room and was well as offering these fantastic views; there is a beautiful aesthetic with an exposed red brick chimney breast fitted with a cast iron fireplace and hearth as well as a contemporary en-suite. The rear bedrooms overlook the courtyard and garden. All three further bedrooms are serviced with a family bathroom which is fitted with a further contemporary suite with free-standing bath and corner shower.

The property is elevated and set back away from the road and village green via a large front garden with a parking area to the side providing parking space for several vehicles. Located adjacent to the rear boundary is L-plan potentially self-contained annex including a double bedroom, shower room and living area with kitchen area. It has been immaculately finished with a vaulted ceiling, beams and hard-wearing wooden floor and could be used for a multitude of purposes. The annexe has been connected with gas, ready for the installation of a fully functioning kitchen. Between the annexe and main house is an idyllic, peaceful courtyard that is filled with evening sunshine and the perfect place to spend long summer nights.

The central courtyard can be accessed through French doors in the lounge and kitchen from the main residence with access to a further garden laid to lawn complete with a summer house / storage outbuilding that is located at the rear side.

What's Nearby
White Colne is pleasant village that has a real community. The village sits amidst the undulating countryside of the Colne Valley with nearby country walks and cycle rides. It is located almost equidistant between the towns of Colchester and Sudbury. The adjacent and walkable village of Earls Colne has a bustling High Street with a variety of shops including a supermarket, butchers, delicatessen, and chemist, meeting day-to-day needs, a Parish Church, doctors, a choice of Public Houses and an accredited Primary School. The house is within easy reach of schools in Colchester with a school bus stop in the immediate vicinity. The area around is criss-crossed by a network of footpaths and bridleways. To the south is the Marks Hall Estate and Arboretum and to the south-east Chalkney Woods. The Essex Country Club Between Earls Colne and Coggeshall offers a choice of golf courses, tennis courts and gymnasium with the Colne Valley golf club just to the north west of the property.

Within Easy Reach
For a wider range of amenities and shopping are the nearby towns of Colchester and Sudbury, both within a 30 minute drive. The charming and ancient village of Coggeshall is within 15 minute drive with one of the largest selection of historic listed building in Essex, boutique shops and eateries. For the commuter there is a good choice of road or rail links. The A120 trunk road lies about 5 miles to the south, the road to the west of Braintree, being dual carriageway serving Stansted Airport and the M11.
