Details

Ideally located on the outskirts of the picturesque village of Langham, just north of Colchester, this bespoke detached bungalow seamlessly combines historic charm with modern luxury. Situated on a generous quarter-acre plot, the property offers panoramic views of the adjoining countryside, creating an ambiance of tranquillity and exclusivity.

Originally built in the 1940s, the bungalow is steeped in history and is believed to have been used during World War II when the 56th Fighter Group was stationed at Boxted Airfield. At that time, the property featured just two bedrooms and two reception rooms. Since then, the current owners have undertaken an extensive and meticulous renovation, elevating the bungalow to an exceptional standard.

The centerpiece of the home is the impressive lounge, where a vaulted ceiling adorned with solid oak beams creates a striking visual impact. Engineered oak flooring and plumbed underfloor heating enhance the room's warmth and comfort, while a log burner serves as a focal point, especially during the winter months. The rear of the property houses a bespoke ‘Wentworth’ kitchen, complete with a large central island topped with granite surfaces and equipped with high-end ‘Neff’ appliances. Two sets of French doors open onto a recently landscaped, south-facing rear garden, featuring a spacious patio and an electric awning.

The master bedroom is a sanctuary of luxury, offering a dressing area with built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room, exquisitely finished with marble tiling. Two additional double bedrooms provide ample accommodation for family and guests, complemented by a family-sized bathroom and a convenient cloakroom that blend practicality with style.

Located on Lodge Lane, a private cul-de-sac on the outskirts of Langham village, the property enjoys a serene setting while remaining within easy reach of essential amenities. Langham village itself boasts a local shop, community center, primary school, and a charming public house. For dining and entertainment, the nearby Ardleigh Crown pub/restaurant is a favored choice. With excellent access to the A12, commuting and exploring the surrounding areas, including Dedham and Ardleigh, is both easy and convenient.

This unique property offers a rare opportunity to own a truly special home in one of Essex’s most desirable villages, where historical significance meets contemporary living.
