House For Sale £1,750,000
A superb village property offering substantial accommodation, with the added benefit of a self-contained, two bedroomed annex. Set in grounds of approximately 1.37 acres (STS), with outstanding views across the Dedham Vale.
Occupying a superior position - in grounds of approximately 1.37 acres (STS) - with fabulous views across the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this substantial property has been home to only four families in its 110-year history - perhaps paying testament to its exquisite location.
The property has been beautifully refurbished in recent years, adding 21st century style and elegance to this functional home.
The addition of a two bedroomed, self-contained annex - accessed via its own exterior entrance door or through the main house - was completed in the mid-1980's and adds a further dimension to the property, providing the ability to comfortably accommodate a multi-generational family or perhaps teens preparing to fly the nest.
The property is set back from the road and approached via double wrought-iron gates which open onto a long gravel driveway, flanked by lawn and mature shrubs, which leads to the garaging and entrance doors. Wide, Portland stone steps lead the visitor to the bespoke, solid oak double entrance doors and into the entrance hall. From this 'showcase' entrance there is a direct eyeline, straight through to the bi-fold doors at the rear of the property, to the glorious expanse of the Dedham Vale.
A beautifully configured, open plan, grand reception room incorporates a family living area - replete with wood burning stove -, a high specification, bespoke kitchen and dining area with cocktail bar - with granite worktops to kitchen and bar area.
A more formal, dual aspect sitting room - again with outstanding views - provides a more intimate social space.
For those who work from home, a dedicated study - with bi-fold doors and private decking area - is located in a quiet spot - away from the hustle and bustle of a busy household.
A bespoke, contemporary split staircase leads to the first-floor bedrooms. A principal suite, with dressing room and ensuite bathroom, benefits from double doors which open onto a Juliet balcony, enjoying exquisite views.
Three further bedrooms - one with Juliet balcony -, an additional ensuite and family bathroom complete the first-floor accommodation.
A utility, boiler / drying room, boot room and cloakroom - adjacent to the kitchen ensure all boots, outdoor clothing and laundry paraphernalia are kept out of the way of the rest of the house.
Benefitting from its own, separate entrance, a generous annex, completed in the mid 1980's, provides additional accommodation which, subject to the right planning and permissions, could be incorporated into the main body of the house.
Grounds and gardens of approximately 1.37 acres (STS) of lush, organic landscape incorporating wide sweeping lawns with mature shrubs and trees. Beautiful Indian sandstone patio, open terrace and a pergola offer space to enjoy the greater landscape and glorious north Essex skies.
