Description
This majestic Grade II* listed manor house, Rochfords, is a rare opportunity to acquire a property of real distinction, set within approximately 2.25 acres of partly moated, landscaped grounds. The house has a rich history, with previous owners including 18th-century textile industrialists and the renowned architect H. T. (Jim) Cadbury-Brown. The property features a recent extension on the ground floor, offering open-plan living, underfloor heating, and a kitchen that looks out onto a historic apple and pear orchard. The interior has been meticulously re-decorated, and an en-suite bathroom has been newly installed. The property is heated by a sustainable heat pump system that draws warmth from the swimming lake to the south. With its stunning Georgian façade, generous proportions, high ceilings, and exposed timbers, Rochfords is a true gem. The property is situated in a sought-after location, with easy access to the highly regarded schools in Colchester and a 48-minute commute to London. The surrounding countryside is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, with the Dedham Vale National Landscape and the River Stour nearby.
