A country estate vast enough to fit a private nine-hole golf course with fairways you can land planes on is up for sale.
Built in 1989, Ashington Lodge stretches across 76 acres of green land less than five miles from the country’s oldest town, Colchester.
At the heart of the vast tracts - which are the equivalent of 38 football pitches - is a five bedroom, three bathroom house.
The 8,000 sq ft, fully air conditioned brick home also has five reception rooms and an adjoining coach house that can fit five cars.

What really sets the property apart however is whats surrounding the home.
The current owners transformed an old light aircraft landing strip into a practice fairway, with the full nine holes growing out from there.
If that does not prove enough for the home's next golf mad occupier, then there's space for a full 18 hole course to be completed.

Rightmove property expert Miles Shipside said: “Every once in a while, you come across properties which take your breath away and this listing definitely falls into that category.
“They say that golf is a good walk spoiled, but this golf course is a wonderful addition to an already luxurious home. Even if your game isn’t up to scratch, who wouldn’t love to have these views on your doorstep?”
The house also comes with a full-size tennis court.

The owners added: “The garden and grounds are just beautiful, and they are what set this house apart from all the rest. The house sits right in the middle of the grounds and the views in every single direction are just amazing.
“We have a more formal area by the house that incorporates a large patio terrace and tiered lawns that lead up to a huge Koi pond, then the rest of the grounds are well stocked with a huge variety of wonderfully mature trees so it's like living in our very own park.
