It's located in a lovely, quiet and friendly village a stone's throw away from the beautiful Mersea Island. It was originally a three-bedroom bungalow that was situated on a 2.5 acre plot. As soon as I viewed Wheatlands, I knew this place had a lot of potential. The stunning garden and breathtaking sea view, finalised my decision to purchase Wheatlands. Six months later I had the keys and my journey to building my dream home began. I started by demolishing the old bungalow and the groundworks shortly followed. A lot of time and effort went into to every last detail. The whole project included crucial decisions for every material used to create a very high specification house. Old farmhouse bricks, featuring a birds peak point and crafted oak beams were imperative decisions for a modern build to include a warm, country feel. The hand cut roof and other features such as, clay peg tiles and hard wooden windows/doors ensure the external is sightly and high quality. Internally the specifications are endless. The oak herringbone floor is definitely an eye catcher for those that step through the door of Wheatlands, Along side the hand crafted kitchen that has bought many compliments over the years. My personal favourite feature of the kitchen is the Buster and Punch lighting. Both the kitchen and utility feature Perrin and Rowe handles and a beautiful, natural stone work surface. Tulipwood skirtings and architraves also feature throughout. While planning the layout, I envisioned a very social space with built in Sonos speakers, this has been the perfect set up for gatherings and celebrations with family and friends. As I watched my dream turn into reality I would picture my future in this house. I would imagine starting my day, waking up to a beautiful sunset view & finishing my day relaxing in a cosy, fire lit space. in 2020, this soon became reality when Wheatlands was built and ready to move into. Since then, I have started my own family and created wonderful memories in the most luxurious space. Wheatlands has been the true foundation of all of my accomplishments and aspirations. We're now ready as a family to start a new adventure, while Wheatlands is now ready to help start another's.  Features: - Garage - Balcony - Terrace
