The property
Casa Amor was built by our clients in 2020 for their own occupation and is for sale for the first time.
The house functions brilliantly as a family home with a mix of open plan living/entertaining spaces and separate reception rooms, all arranged around a central hallway and staircase. Design features include high ceilings with unique plaster cast cornice to the ground floor and landing, with dropped feature LED lit ceilings to the kitchen diner; also oak doors, underfloor heating, sash windows, wall panelling in the hallway, and hidden storage beneath the stairs.
The highlight of the ground floor is the open-plan kitchen/family/dining room, which overlooks the rear garden and measures over thirty feet; fittings in this room includes sleek full-height kitchen units under stone surfaces, which are arranged around a large island with overhanging feature lights. Neff appliances include two fitted ovens, a fitted microwave and a warming drawer, an induction hob, a dishwasher and a high-pressure tap.
Other ground floor accommodation includes a playroom/study, a formal sitting room with recessed shelves and an inbuilt electric fire, a utility room, and a WC.
Five bedrooms on the first floor include a master that overlooks the front and which includes a fitted dressing room accessed by sliding doors. It also an features en-suite with a large walk-in shower and a backlight wall mirror.
The guest suite features a series of fitted wardrobes and also has an ensuite with a large walk-in shower; the three remaining bedrooms share the use of a super-stylish family bathroom with a tiled feature wall, a freestanding bath and his-and-hers sinks beneath a double sized backlit mirror.
Outside
Casa Amor is fully set-up for big summer parties with a south facing patio and lawn, and a fabulous entertainment terrace on its western boundary. This features a stylish undercover bar (with a sink, fridges, fitted media and a ceiling heater), a second dining bar beneath a pergola, an Argentinian Grill, a pizza oven, a seating area and decked hot tub platform.
A vast floodlit patio runs the width of the house and this gives way to a 25m x 15m lawn with birch trees that were specifically planted to provide privacy along the rear boundary. These work well alongside a number of (protected) oaks on the eastern boundary, behind which there is a log store, a dog run and a wild garden with a bug hotel.
Driveway, garage and office
The front drive is a mix of block paving and shingle and is secured by electric gates. There is parking space for three/four cars as well as access to a large double garage.
Internal stairs in the garage lead to a very nicely fitted walk-through storage room and a large office above, with the latter being ideal for anybody needing to work from home.
Location
The property is one of around a dozen detached properties running along the southern side of Bromley Road on the edge of the village of Elmstead Market.
Within an easy walk buyers can reach the village primary school, an Indian restaurant, a Budgens Store, a community centre and a petrol station with a shop. Colchester City Centre is only four miles from the front door and the University of Essex’s Wivenhoe Campus is less than three miles away.
Colchester North Mainline Station is within five miles where a direct service to London Liverpool Street runs with a journey time of 50 minutes.
A footpath immediately opposite the house leads to a 103 acre area of countryside which is undergoing a gradual transformation funded and managed by the Woodland Trust. It includes areas of wildflower meadow, ponds, a stream and newly planted woodland.
