House For Sale £1,350,000
An exceptional family home, which dates back to the 18th Century but heavily altered in the 19th Century to provide a wealth of Georgian features, including tall ceilings, original cornicing, picture rails, fireplaces with marble surrounds and inset sash windows which adopt incredible views of the River Stour.
The impressive entrance hall with Victorian tiling and magnificent split staircase, provides access to a Kitchen and Dining room. To the front is an informal dining room and Sitting room with a bank of sash windows and lovely views. The Kitchen is fitted with a 5 ring Ranger cooker, kitchen island and breakfast bar, with additional boot room, utility room and a butlers pantry.
There is an inner hall which provides access to a sitting room to the west of the property, as well as a study, cloakroom and large dry cellar. The first floor offers flexible accommodation, to include a double aspect drawing room with bay window, principal bedroom with walkthrough dressing room and ensuite, with 3 further bedrooms, one with an ensuite and a large family bathroom.
On the second floor are two further bedrooms, one of which has a walk-in dressing room and a family' bathroom.
To the side of the property, is off street gravelled parking for several cars and good sized garaging, with access to the outside cellar. To the rear are the south/west facing secluded walled gardens, with a stone paved terrace, box hedging and laid lawn. The combination of high walls and mature borders provide a remarkable degree of privacy despite the property's central location.
Underneath the gardens is a detached cellar, allegedly a brandy vault constructed in the smuggling era. In today's world it could provide a variety of options, to include a gym/studio or games/cinema room. As well as this, there is a series of brick built outbuildings, which provide ample storage, currently used as a Gin bar and workshop with outside WC.
Mistley is an attractive village and has a well-known quay overlooking the Stour Estuary. Within easy walking distance in the High Street is the award winning Mistley Thorn, a restaurant with rooms and the Mistley cookery school. Mistley is steeped in history and the Mistley Thorn is the site of a historic coaching inn.
There are a good range of amenities in nearby Manningtree, reportedly England's smallest town, including shops, well regarded restaurants and a sports centre. The station at Mistley (4 minutes walk), has services from Harwich and is a short commute to Manningtree where there is a regular mainline rail service to London Liverpool Street taking approximately 55 minutes.
