Description

Comarques Farmhouse is a noteworthy 1960s construction, set on approximately half an acre of grounds at the edge of Thorpe le Soken village. While this substantial home offers a generous living space of 2138 square feet over two levels, it stands in need of some modern enhancements to truly realise its potential. The ground floor features an open-plan kitchen/breakfast room with a breakfast bar and pleasant views of the expansive rear garden, alongside a sitting room accentuated by a log burner that flows into a separate dining area. The first floor comprises four double bedrooms sharing a sizable bath/shower room, with those at the back enjoying delightful southern vistas towards Weely Brook. Modern UPVC windows add durability to the structure. Outside, the property grants ample space with a private driveway leading to an attached single garage and turning circle. The garden, spanning around 120 feet, includes a patio, various flower beds, multiple sheds, and a summer house; hedges define distinct areas within the property’s outdoor space. Notably, there’s significant potential for expansion with up to 35 feet of width available along one side of the house for possible extensions (subject to planning permissions). Located on the western edge of Thorpe le Soken in northeast Essex, this home provides easy access to local amenities including shops and schools and is just six miles from Frinton-on-Sea's coastline. The nearby train station offers direct routes into London. In terms of utilities, the property is connected to mains electricity and water, featuring an oil-fired central heating system and private septic tank sewerage. This property represents an excellent opportunity for investment or personalisation in a charming village setting.
