The present owners of Jardin House Neil and Jane acquired the property in October 1999and before moving in the whole building was refurbish.

In Spring 2000 work started on the rear extension almost doubling the size of the house,changing the existing 3 bedroom house into a 4 double bedroom detached house with 2bathrooms 3 reception rooms and a 24.5 ft breakfast room/kitchen. The features of theoriginal 1920's house were carried through sympathetically into the new extension. 90% of the original timber window sashes have been replaced with new timber sashesincorporating double glazed units, while keeping the old timber frames.

The property is situated on the A137 Manningtree to Colchester, which has a main busroute running by. Only ten minutes from Manningtree and Colchester both having railwaystations for commuters, (with the bonus of access to the A12 heading towards Ipswich orLondon by road, within six minutes). There are two lovely pubs/restaurants within walkingdistance of the house. The popular village of Ardleigh has two shops, a post office andpetrol station, primary school, doctors surgery, with dispensary and village hall with playingfields. It also has a Sports and Leisure Club offering tennis, squash, exercise studio and pool.
