Description

West House Farm represents a unique opportunity to acquire a four-bedroom farmhouse nestled on approximately 1.6 acres of serene countryside, while also being conveniently located near Colchester's amenities and transport links. The property retains traditional charm and offers substantial potential for expansion, thanks to approved planning permission that allows for the erection of three detached holiday let units and an extension to the existing dwelling. This makes it an attractive prospect for those interested in creating a rural retreat business or enhancing their family living space. The property's mature gardens and expansive views contribute to its appeal, providing ample scope for further landscaping or even equestrian use, subject to necessary approvals. With its existing features and layout, West House Farm is well-suited for buyers looking to invest in a tranquil lifestyle with income-generating potential.
