THE COLLECTION

Exceptional Living Opportunities to own a truly exceptional new home are rare. This is one such opportunity.

Millstone Green is a select, gated development featuring eight superb five-bedroom properties.

These stunning homes are amazingly spacious, beautifully designed and built with premium quality to a superior specification. As for the location, it’s quite simply ideal: just a few miles from Colchester town centre and within walking distance of Marks Tey station.

Imagine the ultimate in 21st century living combined with simple, classic elegance and supreme comfort.

It’s no dream. We’ve created it at Millstone Green.

M I L L S T O N E

G R E E N

ligning A Old New No compromise. That was our mantra in designing the homes at Millstone Green.

Our vision was to create living spaces that really make a statement. Rooms that are amazingly spacious and light. DÊcor that’s infused with contemporary panache, yet also has impeccable, timeless elegance. Classic design features, such as wooden sash windows, deep cornices and skirting boards, and walnut-veneered internal doors.

The development is accessed through majestic wrought-iron gates, with an entry system for visitors that calls your home telephone to let you know they’ve arrived.

The houses themselves encircle a pleasant green space. With the feel of an elegant Georgian square, it makes a connection with the heritage of the site and the imposing early nineteenth century Manor House that forms its magnificent centrepiece.

the Elegant

Era

From the moment you step into the impressive hallway, with its beautiful wood panelling and handsome feature staircase, you’ll know you’re in a home of real distinction. The extensive downstairs accommodation includes a drawing room, a spacious office/study and another good-sized room, ideal as a dining room or children’s room. Off the kitchen is a wonderfully large and flexible day room or family room, with a spectacular central glass skylight. It floods the room with natural light and is illuminated with sparkling LEDs after dark.

The smart designer kitchen by Urban Myth is ergonomically designed around a large island work unit/breakfast bar. It has plenty of worktop space in robust stone and high-quality built-in appliances by Siemens. Not to mention touches of inspiration, such as a wine fridge.

The master bedroom has all the style and sophistication of a five-star boutique hotel. Its en-suite is a masterpiece of sleek, contemporary minimalism, with classic white fittings, designer ceramic tiles and a state-of-the-art thermostatic rain shower. A deftly concealed wardrobe and dressing area provides invaluable ‘his and hers’ storage and hanging space.

The Stables.

the stables

lassic CChic The vision for the Stables properties was to create two consummate contemporary homes that maintain a strong link with the past. The striking architecture conjures up the ageless elegance of a traditional country estate, while the interior design combines the best of two worlds: the enduring grace of former centuries and today’s cutting-edge design values.

These are wonderful family homes that tick all the boxes. The extensive accommodation is open and spacious, with plenty of natural light, and features a delightful garden room in one of the properties.

Each home has five good-sized bedrooms, two of which have en-suites, and there’s also a spacious family bathroom. The master bedroom in one of the properties is particularly impressive. It’s a huge space with a real feeling of stately home grandeur, the only party wall with next door cleverly concealed by a partitioned wardrobe and dressing area.

P erfectly Placed Millstone Green is not just a great place to live. It’s also perfectly placed, whether you commute to the capital, work locally or are home based. Colchester town centre is just a few miles away, the A12 is close at hand, and it’s under 27 miles to Stansted Airport via the nearby A120. It’s also an easy walk to Marks Tey station, from where trains run regularly to London Liverpool Street, with a journey time of less than one hour.

There’s a good selection of shops and other amenities in the local area, including a Sainsbury’s superstore, pubs and restaurants. As for sports and leisure, the Best Western Marks Tey Hotel has a leisure club with a 15-metre swimming pool, steam room, sauna, tennis courts and an air-conditioned gym.

Colchester’s Heart There are clues to Colchester’s ‘oldest British town’ status tucked away throughout the town centre. But it’s not just the town’s unique history that draws visitors from across the county and beyond. It’s also the great shopping and entertainment, plus a kaleidoscopic choice of eateries, from fast food to haute cuisine.

erfectly Positioned

Coastal Connections The Essex coast is just a short drive away, offering all kinds of attractions, including the gentile, old-world charm of Frinton-on-Sea, the thrills of Southend’s Adventure Island and the picturesque wetlands of the Blackwater Estuary. It’s also only 24 miles or so to Harwich port, where ferries cross to the Continent and cruise ships set sail for the Baltic.

Art & Culture Colchester has a lively arts and entertainment scene, with everything from gigs and comedy to theatre and exhibitions. A range of excellent venues includes the iconic firstsite art space, the Georgian Minories Gallery, the highly respected Mercury Theatre and the Colchester Arts Centre, which features an eclectic mix of folk, jazz, comedy and performance art.

The Food Company

Castle Park

Mersea Island

Just down the road from Millstone Green, Essex’s answer to the Harrods Food Hall is quite simply a food lover’s heaven. There’s a superb selection of fresh food and fine groceries, as well as luxury homewares and furnishings that you won’t find on the High Street.

The Food Co restaurant serves a mouth-watering menu made with ingredients from the store.

This lovely green space not only houses the imposing Norman castle, but also provides award-winning horticulture and a place to escape from the busy pace of the town centre. Snippets of the town’s 2,000-year history are tucked away in the corners of this classic Victorian park and its heritage is celebrated in several annual festivals.

The UK’S most easterly inhabited island has a timeless charm and is a favourite with the boating fraternity. Think fresh fish and oysters, with views of yachts and barges gliding by against halcyon sunsets. With a sandy beach, tea rooms, pubs and some interesting independent shops, it’s the perfect place to unwind.

Harding H omes At Harding Homes we breathe new life into historic locations, whether using tasteful refurbishment techniques, complementary new build or a combination of both. At the heart of our corporate ethos is a passion for creating living spaces with real distinction. We’re always sensitive to the history of the site, as well as to the character of its surroundings. The results are properties that are ideal for the busy lifestyles of the modern world, yet maintain a strong affinity with the heritage and culture of the communities in which they are situated.

Established by brothers Jason and Mark Harding in 1993, we are a family firm with traditional values. Jason and Mark remain very hands-on, taking

a personal interest in all details of each development, from design to fixtures and fittings. Their distinctive vision is realised with a team of skilled architects, designers and construction experts, all of whom share a commitment to the highest standards of quality.

Harding Homes’ track record speaks for itself. We’ve completed a number of successful developments in Colchester and surrounding villages. We’ve also won a Civic Trust award, together with the Colchester 2020 and RIBA Architectural award for the best restoration project in 2006.

The Mill

Collins Green, Messing

Charlie Browns

We lovingly renovated Colchester’s East Street Grade II listed mill into stylish, homely apartments, perfectly situated near the River Colne and close to the town centre. Our clear vision and strong construction values were recognised with a runners-up place in the National Regeneration Awards.

An exclusive development of seven luxury individual houses situated in the sort after location in the heart of the village in Messing. The attention to detail of this site is a testament to our enduring enthusiasm for creating homes of exceptional character and quality.

This is one of our proudest achievements. The reclamation and restoration of a much-loved former hardware store in Colchester town centre presented both an exciting opportunity and a complex challenge. The results exceeded expectations and are a testament to our innovative approach and commitment to excellence.
