Millstone Green - The Collection

THE COLLECTION

THE COLLECTION

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

ExceptionalLiving

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. Décor 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 Houses - plots 1, 2 and 3.

the houses



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.

EleganttheEra

The Stables.

the stables



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.

C lassicChic



At Harding Homes we know that creating a truly exceptional home means going that little bit further to deliver excellence.

For the houses at Millstone Green, we’ve worked closely with talented designers and architects, skilled craftsmen and a visionary project management team to build properties that are outstanding in every detail, from build quality to external and internal finishes.

We’ve also sourced fixtures and fittings from leading manufacturers, known for their consistently high standards.

ttentionATo Detail



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. There are also several excellent golf courses within easy reach, including the historic Colchester Golf

Club in Braiswick, designed by five-times Open Champion James Braid.

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.

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

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.

Castle Park

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.

Mersea Island

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
