Detached former police station for sale in the village of Birch, near Colchester in Essex, with five double bedrooms over three floors, three bathrooms, three reception rooms and a freehold title, priced at £900,000. This conversion on Birch Street stands on a generous plot of about one-third of an acre behind a gated entrance, with extensive off-road parking. A substantial gallery with an adjoining studio sits alongside the light-filled family living space. The former police station stands in the heart of Birch, a village the listing calls sought-after. Connells in Colchester, the agent handling the sale, presents it as one of the village’s most unusual properties and a landmark home with endless possibilities.
The same owners have held the property for more than two decades, and the building has previously operated as a successful café as well as a family home.
