PROPERTY
Holly Lodge is a four-bedroom detached family home occupying an enviably generous plot of approximately 0.4 acres (subject to survey) in the popular village of Eight Ash Green, to the west of Colchester. Set behind a gated entrance, the property offers spacious and versatile accommodation, generous off-road parking and mature gardens, while providing an excellent opportunity for a new owner to update and personalise the home to their own taste.

A storm porch leads into the entrance hall, with the principal reception rooms positioned off the hallway. The spacious sitting room features an open fireplace and bay window, with double doors opening through to the dining room, creating a good sense of connection between the two spaces.

The dining room is dual aspect, with a door opening onto the rear garden, while the adjoining sitting area enjoys views across the garden and features a further open fireplace. These versatile reception spaces provide plenty of scope for modern family living, entertaining or reconfiguration to suit individual requirements.

The kitchen has a good range of cupboards and drawers, with space for a freestanding electric oven, under-counter fridge and dishwasher. A door leads through to the garage, which provides useful utility space with plumbing for a washing machine and room for a fridge freezer, together with a gardeners’ WC and washbasin.

A cloakroom off the entrance hall completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is positioned to the front and benefits from built-in wardrobes. Bedrooms two and three are both generous doubles, again with built-in wardrobe space and their own handbasins. Bedroom four is a spacious single room, currently used as a study, and would suit a home office, nursery or occasional bedroom.

The family shower room has a double shower cubicle and washbasin set within a vanity unit, with a separate WC completing the first floor.

Outside, the approximately 0.4-acre plot is undoubtedly one of Holly Lodge’s key attractions. Mature gardens surround the property, providing a good degree of privacy and plenty of space for families, gardening enthusiasts or those simply looking for room to enjoy the outdoors. The gated frontage and extensive off-road parking add to the property’s appeal.

While Holly Lodge would benefit from updating and modernisation, it offers a rare combination of a substantial detached house, generous accommodation and a sizeable plot in a popular village location. For buyers prepared to undertake some improvement, there is considerable scope to create a wonderful long-term family home.

OUTSIDE
Holly Lodge is approached via a gated gravel driveway, providing generous off-road parking for numerous vehicles, in addition to the single garage. Side access is available to both sides of the property, providing convenient access to the rear garden.

The mature gardens extend to both the front and rear of the property and feature established beds, borders, trees and shrubs, together with areas of lawn. The rear garden also includes an ornamental pond, adding to its established and private character.

SITUATION Holly Lodge enjoys an enviable position in the popular village of Eight Ash Green, offering the best of both worlds – a peaceful village setting with the amenities and connections of Colchester close at hand.

Eight Ash Green has a strong community feel and is surrounded by attractive countryside, providing plenty of opportunity to enjoy the outdoors while still being within easy reach of everyday essentials. The village primary school is rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted, while nearby Tollgate Retail Park provides a convenient choice of shops, a supermarket and restaurants.

For days and evenings out, the historic city of Colchester is just a short drive away, with its wealth of independent shops, restaurants, bars, leisure facilities and cultural attractions. The surrounding area also offers an excellent choice of countryside, villages and places to explore, making this a particularly appealing location for those looking to combine rural living with easy access to town.

The location is equally well suited to commuters, with the A12, A120 and A1124 all easily accessible. Marks Tey mainline station provides a direct rail service to London Liverpool Street in approximately 50 minutes.
