House For Sale £650,000
Beautifully positioned at the top of Southfields, this hugely important, Grade II listed village home offers accommodation comprising vaulted grand reception hall, kitchen / breakfast room, gallery, principal bedroom, guest bedroom, bathroom and ground floor shower room. The property also benefits from a pretty courtyard garden.
Mentioned in the Domesday book, Dedham enjoys a wealth of history, including its success as a centre of the wool trade in late medieval times - thereafter becoming a centre of academic excellence during the reign of Elizabeth I, who granted a licence for the Dedham Grammar School.
Amongst the many historic buildings in the village is this red brick attached home which commands an enviable position on the corner of Southfields, close to the top of The Drift.
This notable house, although built in different times, still delivers comfortable 21st century living.
Once inside, the visitor is greeted by flagstones which lead to the vaulted reception hall.
The eye is immediately drawn to the ancient timber skeleton which holds this home aloft and creates a feeling of warmth and history throughout.
The high vaulted ceiling lends enough space to throw the largest of parties - however, this room is equally as charming when occupied by the family as the fire crackles in the hearth.
The kitchen breakfast room is presented warm country style, with bespoke units complementing the exposed timbers. The windows in this room benefit from wooden shutters - however with the shutters open, a delightful window seat offers a spot to watch the world go by.
A contemporary shower room completes the ground floor accommodation.
From the entrance hall, stairs lead to the first floor, to the gallery - being large enough to sit and enjoy the open aspect over the vaulted reception room.
The principal bedroom enjoys a dual aspect - rich in features and benefitting from bespoke wardrobes and storage.
On the second floor, the guest bedroom - replete with timbers and features - also enjoys a dual aspect, with a window seat offering a nook in which to look into the distance over Dedham itself.
A contemporary bathroom completes the accommodation on the upper floors.
Outside, to the rear, a pretty courtyard garden provides a sublime spot to enjoy a morning coffee, or perhaps alfresco dining during the warmer months.<br /><br />
