SITUATION Langham is one of North Essex's most desirable villages, offering a blend of rural charm and excellent connectivity. The village itself is well-served by local amenities, including a highly regarded primary school, village hall, and community facilities, while the historic town of Colchester lies just a short drive away, providing extensive shopping, dining, cultural attractions, and leisure options. The A12 is easily accessible, ensuring swift road links to Ipswich, Chelmsford, and London, while rail connections from nearby Colchester or Manningtree deliver regular services to London Liverpool Street, making this an attractive option for commuters.

The surrounding area offers an outstanding quality of life. Dedham Vale, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty immortalised by John Constable, is moments away, providing miles of scenic countryside walks, cycle routes, and picture-perfect villages such as Dedham and Flatford. The combination of excellent schools, accessible transport links, and the beauty of the surrounding countryside ensures Langham remains a highly sought-after destination for families and professionals alike. 

DESCRIPTION The Oaks is an impressive six-bedroom detached family home, attractively set within the heart of Langham and occupying a private plot of approximately 0.25 acres. Believed to date from the 1980s, the property has been the subject of an extensive programme of refurbishment and thoughtful extension, creating a home that successfully combines generous proportions with modern convenience. The result is a highly adaptable residence that offers excellent versatility for contemporary family life, complemented by landscaped gardens, ample parking, and a detached double garage.

From the moment you step into the welcoming entrance hall with its herringbone-patterned flooring, the quality of finish is immediately apparent. A cloakroom is discreetly positioned off the hall, while access flows into three distinct reception rooms, each offering its own character and flexibility. The dual-aspect sitting room, with leaded light casement windows and central fireplace with gas fire, is a warm and inviting space for family relaxation. This in turn opens into the dining room, formed as part of a single-storey rear extension. Designed with entertaining in mind, this light-filled space enjoys skylights, continuation of the herringbone flooring, and full-width aluminium-framed sliding doors that create a seamless connection to the gardens.
