Countess Cross, Colne Engaine, Colchester CO6

Countess Cross House is a substantial country home set within approximately 3.2 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds, offering substantial renovation potential. This unlisted property features a range of outbuildings, including three stables, a tack room, an office, and a large barn currently used for storage, which can be repurposed for various uses with the necessary consents. The main house comprises around 5,248 sq ft of accommodation with six bedrooms and multiple reception rooms that provide ample space for family living or entertaining guests. While many interiors have been thoughtfully updated with period detailing and a natural color palette, certain areas such as the self-contained annexe could benefit from modernisation to enhance functionality—ideal for creating an inviting guest suite. With high ceilings and large sash windows throughout, the property offers a bright atmosphere and beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. The outdoor space includes formal gardens, a paddock with a tennis court in need of refurbishment, and an existing kitchen garden area with greenhouse facilities. This tranquil location not only provides handsome rural vistas but also convenient access to nearby villages and transport links to larger towns.
