Delightful cottage in an outstanding river side location with stunning views
Description
Commanding an outstanding position, with approximately 75m of gardens abutting the river Stour, this beautifully presented cottage offers well presented accommodation comprising sitting room, snug/study, kitchen opening into the dining room, utility room, ground floor shower room, principal bedroom with balcony, two further bedrooms and family bathroom. The property also benefits from beautiful gardens with river and countryside views and a garden studio / office.
This charming riverside cottage offers a unique opportunity to live in an idyllic location. There are exquisite views throughout the house, of the river and surrounding countryside.
The property is accessed via a footbridge from Dedham Mill - where the vendors benefit from a gated, single parking space in the Dedham Mill residents parking area - which leads directly to a shingle path, over a bridge and through a picket gate to the property. The path splits alongside the lock with a path continuing further along towards the house.
The kitchen has base and wall mounted units with solid wood worktops offering ample space for food preparation, with an electric range cooker. This opens through to the dining room with double doors opening out onto the gardens and river beyond. A bright airy sitting room enjoys a dual aspect and an open fireplace.
A further reception room which also has an open fireplace, is currently used as a study. A shower room and utility complete the ground floor accommodation.
The staircase leads to the first floor where the principal bedroom has double doors opening onto a balcony, which benefits from outstanding views. Two further double bedrooms and a charmingly appointed family bathroom.
The gardens wrap around the property to three sides, with the river Stour running alongside the remaining side. A raised, decked terrace offers a tranquil spot for outside dining. A private mooring allows for easy access to the water for either rowing or paddle boarding. The lawned gardens lead down to a garden studio building.
Services
Mains electricity, water and private drainage via a treatment plant.
Location
Lock Cottage is located in a wonderful setting on the bank of the River Stour and the very edge of the attractive village of Dedham.
The house enjoys a sought after and convenient location within easy walking distance of the heart of Dedham, in the Dedham Vale made famous by the artist John Constable, designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Dedham is a thriving village and is known as one of the prettiest villages on the Essex/Suffolk borders, providing a full range of amenities including shops, public houses and a highly rated primary school. The nearby town of Colchester provides comprehensive shopping, educational and recreational facilities, together with its fast train service to London Liverpool Street station. There is also an excellent service from Manningtree to London Liverpool Street station. Ipswich, the county town of Suffolk is also easily accessible and benefits from a range of facilities, including well regarded schools.
