Wenham Lane, Great Wenham, Colchester , CO7

Walnut Thatch is a charming detached house that boasts substantial ground-floor reception rooms with expansive views over the rear garden. This historic property, dating back to the 16th century, has seen several extensions throughout the 20th century while retaining many original features such as exposed beams, studwork, inglenook fireplaces, and a former bread oven. The home offers four reception rooms, providing ample living space, and well-proportioned bedrooms that share two bath/shower rooms on the first floor. A ground floor study can easily serve as a fourth bedroom if needed. While the property is dry and habitable, it does require some modernisation, particularly in the kitchen and bath/shower rooms. Outside, a detached double garage offers substantial storage and is accessible via the driveway or a side door. The grounds include a sweeping in-and-out driveway with plenty of parking space and a rear garden that extends to just under an acre, predominantly laid to lawn with beautiful countryside views. A small patio area directly outside the garden room benefits from a southwest-facing aspect, surrounded by mature trees that provide almost total privacy. Located in the rural hamlet of Great Wenham, the property is within walking distance of local amenities including a public house and St John's Church. The village of Capel St Mary is just two miles away, offering a range of shops and services. For those commuting, Manningtree mainline railway station is less than 15 minutes by car, providing direct services to London Liverpool Street.
