Uplands, Coles Oak Lane, Dedham, Colchester CO7 6DR
Uplands is a truly unique... multi levelled Four bedroomed family home constructed to the original owners exacting specifications. Offering complete privacy and featuring spaciously proportioned and superbly appointed rooms with unusually high ceilings the property enjoys a south facing rear aspect with uninterrupted views over Blackbrook valley. The property is positioned in the centre of almost three acres of private and mature grounds with two separate remote controlled security gates leading from Coles Oak Lane providing complete privacy as well as access to the floodlit driveways and parking areas as well as detached triple garage with workshop space and office/staff accommodation above.
Nestling amid the gently undulating countryside... on the Essex/Suffolk borders in an area of outstanding natural beauty, Dedham is a highly sought after village made famous by the early works of Sir John Constable. Village amenities include St Mary’s church, Primary school, public houses, fine restaurants and hotels, convenience stores as well as Doctor’s and Dentist’s surgeries. Highly regarded grammar and private schools as well as state schools can be found in the local area. Commuters to London have the choices of Colchester, Manningtree and Ipswich stations all of which provide services to Liverpool Street with typical journey times between 50 and 65 minutes. The A12 bypasses Dedham to the west and provides access to Ipswich (7 miles), the Suffolk heritage coast to the north, and Colchester (6 miles), Chelmsford (25 miles) and the M25 to the south.
