5 Bed Detached House For Sale Birchwood Road, Colchester, CO7

This outstanding Grade II listed cottage, located on the outskirts of highly desirable Dedham is steeped in rich social history and offers extensive, flexible accommodation - all set in beautiful gardens of approximately 0.5 acres (STS).

\rLamb House is a superb, detached former inn dating back to the 16th Century with later alterations and additions, yet maintains its historic facade.
The house itself is a delightfully presented and particularly spacious five-bedroom Grade II listed property set in stunning gardens located on the outskirts of the highly regarded Dedham Vale National Landscape.
Although the foundations of this property are deeply entrenched in hundreds of years of history, the actual living accommodation inside marries happily with 21st century living, whilst retaining many original features including the beautifully worn flagstone floor in the main reception hall.
The property benefits from an abundance of sizeable rooms including four reception rooms; all idyllically situated surrounding a private courtyard, five bedrooms and three bathrooms. A beautifully appointed kitchen - replete with AGA - enjoys direct access onto a flagstone terrace, perfect for alfresco dining during the warmer months.
Externally, the property is approached via a five-bar gate with a gravel driveway leading to the double cart lodge and workshop, whilst providing amble off-road parking.
To the rear, the more formal part of the garden gives way to a largely more organic landscape which eases the eye over hedgerow to the exceptional country views beyond.
