With its impeccable features, convenient location, and attractive opportunity for expansion, this house presents a rare chance to acquire a cherished home within a vibrant community. Don't miss out on the opportunity to make this property your own and embark on a new chapter of luxurious living.   SELLER'S INSIGHT I have lived in this lovely part of Essex for many years in various village locations, but have always wanted to live on the green in Great Bentley (the largest green in the UK). Over time, several properties have come onto the market, but they've never been quite right so, when The Poplars came up for sale, I was keen to take a look. Built in 1750, it's full of character and charm with many original beams throughout, an inglenook fireplace and a large secluded garden. Immediately drawn to its imposing façade and prominent position on the green - within easy walking distance of the village - and its fantastic views across the forty-three acres of beautifully maintained village Green, I knew I had finally found the right house. Great Bentley itself is a delight, with a thriving community that still benefits from all the traditional amenities so, with everything on the doorstep, I rarely have to leave the village if I don't want to. We have a doctor's surgery, pharmacy and post office; a charming local pub and restaurant; beauty salon and hairdresser; Tesco Express and village delicatessen; a good village primary school, and a train station with frequent connections through to London ideal for commuting. The Green is very much the hub of the village, and hosts local events each year, cricket, football, the annual carnival and the well supported village show. The house has been both a wonderful family home and a perfect place for entertaining. Set over three floors, with two separate sitting rooms, large dining room and a spacious farmhouse kitchen/diner, we have ample space to host friends and family, with plenty of room for privacy when needed. I've had many wonderful parties here, both inside and out, with the three bay cart lodge in the garden proving to be invaluable for those all too frequent 'wet weather' BBQs! I will miss many things when we leave; the amazing sunrises across the east of the Green; the beautiful garden and vegetable garden but most of all its allure as a real family home.   LOCATION One will soon feel the sense of 'home coming' when you move into this beautiful village; the Community is key and the heart to everything. With the Great Bentley train station offering journey times to London Liverpool Street In 1 hour 18 minutes for commuters alongside a free 48 hour car park - commuters can sit back and enjoy their journey to work whilst taking in the wonderful countryside. the A120 and A12 are both within a few minutes drive. Stanstead Airport is within easy reach, just over an hour by a direct train or 50 minutes by car. The 43 acre village green is reputed to be one of the largest in England and is the focal point for the annual carnival, summer fete, fun fair and circus along with the Great Bentley summer show each September. Football and cricket can be enjoyed from as young as 5 years of age to 'Seniors' and is a delight to see on the green on Saturday and Sunday mornings. There are a great range of walks and scenic routes to neighbouring villages including Wivenhoe and Brightlingsea, making the ideal situation for walking the dogs and watching the sun set. Brightlingsea caters for the watersport enthusiasts and is home to the renowned sailing club which offers a vast variety of sailing activities and tours to Maldon and Mersea Island. Small businesses thrive in the heart of the village from a deli, hairdressers, motor garage, bed and breakfast plus gift shops are all run by families from and around the village. Tesco's, a Chinese Takeaway and Pharmacy offer a welcome trade also. The village hall is home to the 'Outstanding' Pre School who enjoy strong links with Great Bentley primary school built in 1896. Great Bentley is blessed with both a Methodist Church and St Mary's Church. Moving into a village like Great Bentley offers many opportunities to make lifelong friends...there are many clubs running within the village each week... definitely something for everyone, a real community and village spirit.   SERVICES Mains Gas, Electricity, Water and Drainage.

SELLERS INSIGHT We have owned the property at Cambridge Road for nearly 8 years. It has been a wonderful place for us to call home. The road is very quiet, and the neighbours are friendly and helpful. We even had a lovely celebration in the street for the Queen's Jubilee, where everyone came together. One of the main attractions of this house and location is that Cambridge Road is one of the most sought after roads in the Lexden area. It's a wide, quiet, and peaceful road, yet it is also in close proximity to the town centre and many excellent local schools. For parents considering raising kids here, Cambridge Road is in the catchment area for several excellent primary and secondary schools, both selective and state schools. CRGS and CCHSG, two of the best schools in the country, are within reach. Additionally, the house is within walking distance to the town centre, where there are numerous shops and restaurants. Castle Park, with its great playground, and Colchester Castle, which kids love exploring, are also nearby. And let's not forget Colchester Zoo, which is just a short drive away and is one of the best kids' attractions in the country. When we were looking to buy in the Lexden area, we were particularly attracted to our house because of its deceptive size and the annexe, which is unusual to find in this area. The rooms are all spacious, especially the kitchen/diner and lounge, and the annexe has been ideal for setting up a home office and providing additional space for guests to stay. Commuting from here is convenient as well. Colchester Station is just a 5-minute drive away, and there is a bus service that runs from the end of the road. Taxis are also relatively cheap and easy to book to and from the station. The property has an interesting history. It was originally used as a language centre before the previous owner changed the layout and added on a rear extension to create a large space for a kitchen/diner. The ideal next owner of this property would be someone looking for a peaceful and convenient location. We moved here from London when we wanted to start a family and immediately felt it was the right location for us. It offers the convenience of being walking distance to town and all its amenities, while also being quieter and more peaceful. Since we bought the house, we have made several changes and updates. We have updated both upstairs bathrooms, installed a bespoke, handmade kitchen, and added new flooring in the downstairs hallway and lounge. We also renovated the annexe and added a new bathroom, turning it into an effective home office space. The garden has been fully landscaped with new plants and trees, while preserving some beautifully established trees like the large maple and magnolia trees. The front driveway has been landscaped as well, allowing for several cars to be parked, and we have added a hedge for extra privacy. The utility room has been renovated, and the house has been decorated throughout. We have also replaced the bifold doors in the kitchen/diner, as well as the garage doors, front door, and porch. In addition, both boilers have been replaced in the last few years. Our favourite room in the house is definitely the bespoke kitchen. We spend a huge amount of time in the kitchen/diner, especially in the summer months when we can open up the bifold doors and enjoy the connection to the garden. We are proud of all the changes we have made to the house, as they have transformed it into a beautiful and functional home. Opening up the bifold doors in the kitchen has allowed us to create memorable moments, from BBQs to birthdays and parties, where we can enjoy the indoor-outdoor living experience.  This exquisite home offers a perfect blend of elegance, comfort, and functionality, making it an ideal choice for discerning buyers. The property boasts five spacious and well-appointed bedrooms, providing ample space for a growing family or accommodating guests.

Nestled in a secluded spot at the end of a quiet country lane, surrounded by open farmland, this attractive four-bedroom family home, on the edge of the pretty village of Birch, exudes a wealth of authentic features coupled with contemporary living. Set in 1.48 acres (STS) of land and enclosed by mature trees and hedging for complete privacy, this charming unlisted property, built circa 1770, was originally two farm cottages before being joined together, and sympathetically refurbished and extended over the years. The history of this house is evident with touches of traditional features throughout, including the two original staircases, aged oak doors with ring pull latches, exposed beams and beautiful brick fireplaces in many of the rooms. The approach to the property is via a large gravel driveway, with ample parking for numerous vehicles, including two double garages and an adjacent open-fronted car port. On entering the spacious entrance hall, to the right is a guest cloakroom which also doubles as the utility room with all white goods neatly stored away in fitted cupboards; and to the left the hall leads into a bright triple aspect drawing room. This welcoming room, lends itself to both summer and winter living, with French doors leading onto a garden terrace, and a traditional log burner for the cold winter months. Moving from the entrance hall into the reception room, the remainder of the house organically opens out from this delightful room, with beautiful oak flooring running from front to back creating a cohesive effect between the rooms. To the left is the study, with views overlooking the grounds; to the right is a charming dining room which flows directly into a new kitchen extension, providing the ideal layout for both family living and entertaining alike. The fantastic south facing kitchen, with large central skylight and bifold garden doors, allows the light to flood through the house, making it the centre of the home. Built in the traditional Shaker style with oak work tops and porcelain tiles, the kitchen benefits from underfloor heating; an impressive central island and breakfast bar; an integrated wine cooler fridge; double butler sink; large American-style fridge freezer; hob and electric oven, plus ample storage. A cosy sitting room located adjacent to the dining room completes the ground floor. With access to the garden through French doors, and with a traditional fireplace and log burner, this makes the ideal family room. Ascending to the first floor, via the reception room staircase, to the right is the master suite comprising a spacious, triple aspect bedroom; a well thought out dressing room with fitted wardrobes and dressing table area; and a modern ensuite shower room. Moving along the galleried landing are three further, well-proportioned bedrooms. All three rooms have views across the south facing grounds; two benefiting from fitted wardrobes and serviced by a smart family bathroom, complete with underfloor heating, traditional roll top bath, and a standalone shower. The third bedroom features a beautiful traditional brick chimney breast and a contemporary ensuite shower room. A well-equipped laundry room is also located on the first floor, providing ideal storage for washing and linen. Finally, a second set of stairs leads back to the dining room on the ground floor. The beautiful, south facing grounds are extensive, with mature trees and planting providing both privacy and interest all year round. A garden work shed and old stable provide storage for garden equipment and machinery.   SELLER'S INSIGHT After years of living a nomadic existence, travelling around the world with the armed forces, and then the United Nations, we finally returned to the UK and started looking for a family home where we could put down some permanent roots. My parents had lived in Colchester and we decided to search in the local area so we could be close to my mother, and within easy reach of London for my job and our two eldest children. We viewed a number of houses but Lane End stood out due to its location and personality. Built in 1770, the house was originally two farm cottages which had eventually been joined together and then sympathetically extended in the 70's to create a large family home. Full of character with exposed beams and traditional features, such as the brick fireplaces and old oak doors, the history of the house is apparent throughout – it still retains the two staircases from each cottage and a large walk-in larder under one of the stairs, adjacent to where the original kitchen once was. Set on a large plot with a fantastic garden; at the end of a quiet lane surrounded by fields, but within close proximity to the village of Birch; the situation was exactly what we were looking for in a family home with a young son. The location has given us privacy but also a safe place for our son to grow up, allowing him to explore the surrounding countryside with his friends, with just a short walk to the village via the many footpaths in the area. Birch itself is a busy, friendly community, with a very active social scene centred around the village pub and the village hall. It also has an excellent primary school with good secondary schools, both state and independent, just a bus ride away in Colchester. Over the years we have gradually updated the house, with a new heating system and timber framed windows throughout, and most recently we installed new bathrooms, underfloor heating and a fabulous kitchen extension with bifold doors leading out to the terrace, which has almost created an additional room by bringing the garden into the house itself. There is also potential to extend upwards into the enormous loft but we have found we have all the space we need. During the lockdown our children and their families stayed with us and the house accommodated everyone amazingly well, with the large garden being such a godsend – we spent most of that summer outside playing family volleyball, cricket, padel tennis and football, sometimes all at the same time! We've also held big family events in a marquee in the garden including two weddings, a christening and some landmark birthdays. With plenty of parking for vehicles on the drive, and a very kind farmer who allowed us to park overflow vehicles in the adjacent field, the house has proved to be an ideal place for entertaining. Having lived here for over twenty years, there are numerous things we will miss when we leave; we have some glorious sunsets which span across the entire garden and into the fields beyond; the peace and quiet which will be very hard to replicate; and the general feeling of space we have, both inside and out.   SERVICES Mains Electricity and Water Oil Fired Central Heating Outdoor Motion Sensor Security Light System Private Drainage Power and Lighting installed in Garages and Car Port Please note that the above services have not been tested by the agent.  Features: - Garage - Parking

The property also features a log shed, a detached double garage and a driveway, providing easy access to the nearby amenities. We are sure you will love the peace and tranquility this property offers. We have been advised that the land is split and on to two Title Plans EX701777 and EX562715.   SELLERS INSIGHT Thirteen years ago, we made the big decision to leave London in search of a different style of life. We wanted to move to a rural location with a safer environment before starting a family, but within easy commuting distance of London for work. I was also keen to start riding again, having grown up with horses, and I wanted the same upbringing for our children when they arrived. We started our search in Essex and didn't have to view too many properties before we came across Furzeland Farm Cottage. Walking round the house and the grounds we quickly realised we had found the one. The house and equestrian facilities were exactly what we were looking for, and the situation was perfect. Set in lovely grounds and surrounded by open countryside, it felt as if we were in the middle of nowhere but we had the lovely town of Maldon on our doorstep, and the mainline station into London was only a ten-minute drive away. Both the house and the stables were well-maintained when we arrived but, over the years we've updated and refurbished various aspects. The house has been modernised with the installation of a new kitchen, new bathrooms and flooring throughout. The equestrian facilities were excellent, with power and lighting to all the stables, and rubber flooring, but we've built an additional stable and we now have the luxury of a designated wash room which is connected to a hot shower – an incredibly useful area during the winter months. The manége was already laid when we arrived, the manége surface is rubber and silica sand mix, and it has lights which are godsend in the winter months. with only mirrors to be added, and has proved to be exceptionally well-drained, as are all the paddocks. We undoubtedly made the right decision when we moved here all those years ago. A single storey house was a godsend when the children were very young and I could keep my eye on them wherever they were in the house, without worrying about stairs. Our overall location is both safe and peaceful and we have large enough grounds for the children to look after their ponies and play with their friends, all within sight of the house and, as they've got older, the hacking in the local area is fantastic, with numerous bridleways and hardly any roadwork. From a community point of view, the local primary schools are rated outstanding and there are plenty of local clubs and activities for young families, including the very popular Promenade Park on the estuary in Maldon; we've spent many a happy day there! I'm sure there will be numerous things we'll miss about this house when we leave but two that spring to mind immediately are; the peace and privacy of living in such a wonderful spot, with the horses at the bottom of the garden; and the ease of getting anywhere, be it shopping in the local towns or commuting into London - everything is very much on our doorstep.   LOCATION Langford is located on the outskirts of maldon, Essex, England.
