Copford

Claypits Cottage is a splendid, detached cottage in a peaceful rural position within four miles of Colchester city centre. The property sits within beautiful, extensive gardens backing onto open fields, and provides a perfect opportunity for renovation of the current home.

Internally, is the sitting room and the dining room, both of which share similar proportions and benefit from dual aspects, overlooking the gardens and welcoming plenty of sunlight. The sitting room has a brick-built feature fireplace, and the dining room connects to the kitchen via an enlarged arched opening, creating an open-plan feel. The kitchen itself features base and wall units, while offering space for all the necessary household appliances. An externally accessed utility room provides further space for home storage.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms, two of which are doubles of equal proportions with built-in wardrobes, while the third bedroom is of smaller proportions, but is still a small double, a generous single or an ideal home study. There is also a family bathroom.

The property sits on a large corner plot and backs onto open farmland. The garden surrounding the home includes rolling lawns and meadows, dotted with spring flowers, sheltered by various mature trees and bordered by established shrubs and hedgerows. There is also a courtyard and hardstanding areas for parking and potential outbuildings, subject to the necessary consents.
