Chapel Road, Tiptree, COLCHESTER

This detached property in central Tiptree combines a four-bedroom main house with a separate three-bedroom annex and established gardens backing onto woodland. The main house has a hallway leading to a large lounge and dining area with an open fireplace and French doors to the patio. The kitchen has traditional fitted units, integrated appliances, a gas hob, oven and Aga, with a separate utility room and pantry. A snug or home office, garden room and ground-floor cloakroom add further accommodation. Upstairs are four bedrooms and a family bathroom. Outside, a gated shingle drive leads to the house, with side access to a lawned garden, mature planting and a block-paved patio. Additional structures include a cart lodge, cycle and log stores, a dog kennel, chicken pen, small stable block and workshop. The listing states that full planning permission for redevelopment has previously been granted but has lapsed, and that preparatory utility works have been carried out. Any future scheme would require planning feasibility and permissions to be checked. Tiptree has local amenities and schools, with road access to Colchester, Chelmsford and the A12.
