Description

Comarques Farmhouse, a robust property from the 1960s, offers a solid foundation for renovation and investment, set on an expansive half-acre plot at the fringe of Thorpe le Soken village. Spanning 2138 square feet over two levels, this residence provides ample room for reconfiguration and modernization. The ground floor features an open-plan kitchen/breakfast area with a breakfast bar that overlooks the sizeable rear garden, as well as a cozy sitting room equipped with a log burner and double doors leading to a dedicated dining area. The first floor accommodates four generous double bedrooms that share access to a spacious bath/shower room, all enjoying pleasant views towards Weely Brook. Modern UPVC windows have been installed throughout the house. The grounds include a private driveway leading to a turning circle and attached single garage, complemented by a rear garden approximately 120 feet in length that boasts various beds, several sheds, and even a summer house. Notably, there is potential for extension on the side of the house given the 35-foot width available between the edge of the plot and the structure itself, subject to planning permissions. Positioned on the western edge of Thorpe le Soken in northeast Essex—only 18 miles from Colchester and six miles from Frinton-on-Sea—this property benefits from proximity to local amenities including shops, pubs, restaurants, and schools within walking distance. Additionally, Thorpe le Soken train station is conveniently accessible by car for easy commuting to London Liverpool Street in just over an hour. This property presents an excellent opportunity for those looking to invest in renovations while enjoying village life with nearby coastal attractions.
