Fordham Road, Wormingford, Colchester, Essex, CO6

Discover Rochfords, a distinguished Grade II* listed manor house that boasts historical charm and significant renovation potential, set within around 2.25 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds featuring a partly moated area. With its roots traceable back to the 13th century, this property has seen notable ownerships, including that of renowned industrialists and architects which adds to its character. The residence has benefitted from a recent ground floor extension that offers an open-plan living area equipped with underfloor heating and a modern kitchen overlooking an orchard. However, further enhancements can be made especially in the first-floor living spaces, where the rear wing could be transformed into an impressive principal suite or independent accommodation due to its separate staircase access. While many interior areas have recently been redecorated, opportunities for refurbishment exist particularly in the bathrooms and some other components requiring updates. The outdoor space is expansive, with various mature trees, a boating lake, and potential for additional landscaping or sustainable gardening practices. Located near excellent schools and commuter links to London, Rochfords stands as both a private sanctuary and a wise investment opportunity in today's market.
