Reynbank presents a unique opportunity for those looking to develop a bespoke residence in a serene setting, offered chain-free and available for the first time in decades. This property is set within expansive grounds of 1.38 acres (0.56 hectares) and boasts an elevated position that provides pleasant views over its 120-meter rear garden. The site is bordered by mature trees, features a copse, and includes a pond, all enhancing the picturesque landscape leading into the Blackbrook valley.
The existing dwelling spans 1142 square feet and can be configured as either two or three bedrooms. While the interior decor reflects an era of design that may not appeal to everyone's taste, it remains well-maintained and fully livable, making it an ideal candidate for updates or renovations. Additionally, there is a detached single garage along with generous parking space at the front.
The true potential lies in the opportunity to apply for planning permission to replace the current structure with a modern two-storey home, given the size of neighboring properties and local precedents suggesting such developments could be feasible. The new construction would benefit from ample frontage and scenic views across its own grounds.
Located just half a mile from Dedham village centre yet insulated from the summer crowds along the riverside, this property offers tranquility without sacrificing convenience. The charming village features essential amenities including a Co-op store, various pubs, restaurants, and notable architecture. Proximity to Colchester (about five miles) and Manningtree’s mainline station (approximately three miles) enhances accessibility to London in around 60 minutes.
Connected to mains water and electricity with an oil-fired central heating system and private sewerage, Reynbank falls under Council Tax Band F with Colchester City Council.
