Prested Hall Chase, Feering, Colchester, Essex, CO5

An exceptional family home located on the periphery of Prested Hall Estate, an exclusive health club / spa offering a comprehensive range of spa and leisure facilities.

The Anchorage is an exceptional family home, set in an idyllic position within the grounds of a distinguished country house.

Enjoying a much-revered parkland setting with a woodland feel, the property offers a rare combination of seclusion and convenience, situated close to the centre of the highly sought-after village of Feering.

Excellent transport links are readily available via the A12 and Kelvedon mainline station, offering direct services to London Liverpool Street. The area also benefits from a choice of acclaimed restaurants, traditional pubs, and local amenities within easy reach.

Occupying a secluded plot approaching half an acre, the house is a beautifully executed modern interpretation of a traditional English country home, drawing clear influence from the Arts and Crafts and Neo-Tudor architectural styles. Its timeless design is complemented by mature, partly walled formal gardens, bordered by a varied and established selection of trees.

Accessed via a private driveway off the tree-lined approach to the main hall, the property opens into an enclosed courtyard providing access to two large garages, with accommodation above.

Inside, the impressive reception hall forms the heart of the home—an elegant and welcoming space with a grand central staircase and double doors leading to both the sitting room and living room. The ground floor also includes a luxury kitchen, dining room, sun room, office, and utility room, offering a superb layout for both entertaining and day-to-day living.

Upstairs, the first floor features four generously proportioned double bedrooms (two with en-suites), along with a well-appointed family bathroom. The principal suite includes a spacious dressing room and all bedrooms enjoy delightful views across the gardens.

A further double bedroom with its own dressing room and en-suite is located on the second floor, offering additional flexibility for larger families or guests.

Over the garages, a separate guest or teenager suite offers independent accommodation with its own bedroom and en-suite facilities.

Notably, planning permission has been granted for a substantial side and rear extension incorporating the existing garages and the creation of an additional garage.

Location

Feering is a lovely village with all the benefits of a rural, yet strategic location, enabling easy travel to Colchester, Chelmsford and London. Its ancient centre, located around All Saints Church, is listed in the Domesday Book although the village has grown considerably since medieval days and now stretches from the river Blackwater at the border with Kelvedon in the south, to the A120 in the north, and is home to some 1900 people. While still retaining its small, local and friendly village feel, Feering has a surprisingly large number of amenities including thriving pubs, All Saints Church and a well-regarded primary school. The region boasts a significant number of secondary schools as well as colleges and nurseries. There are well-renowned private schools within easy reach and some of the country’s leading grammar schools in Colchester and Chelmsford.
