House For Sale £2,500,000
An immaculately presented detached house in about 7.6 acres.
Description
Grove House was originally constructed in 1850 and has elegant high ceilings, large windows and many features associated with prominent houses of this period. The property was sympathetically enlarged in 1990 with attention to detail continuing the theme of elegance throughout with large columns, thick cornicing, high ceilings, ornate fireplaces and wherever possible taking advantage of the wonderful views. The flexible, light and airy accommodation is laid out over three floors with the 30ft kitchen/breakfast/living room and dining room giving access to the elegant balcony. The bedroom suites are luxuriously finished and the clever use of bathroom/shower rooms on each floor add extra versatility. There is a well-proportioned guest/ staff apartment and a number of practical rooms (laundry, boiler/storage etc). The main garage block is approximately 40ft long and attached to the main house, there is a further block of garages within the grounds which include a studio above and gardener’s office. The property is also a fantastic home for buyers looking for multi-generational living as the property boasts a self-contained flat. Multiple dwellings also benefit from stamp duty relief.
Outside
The outstanding grounds have been cleverly designed to provide interest while being relatively low-maintenance. A wide terrace runs along the rear of the property perfect for al fresco dining. There is significant river frontage of 500m, owned by the property which allows for private access via a canoe paddle board into the River Stour, which again makes for a charming background and fantastic views across the river. This is all complemented by about 7.6 acres of garden. Along the eastern boundary lies a charming summer house and an additional range of garages/workshops.
Further land is available via separate negotiation
Location
This part of the Stour Valley, on the Essex/Suffolk borders, is known for its exceptional beauty with gently undulating countryside either side of the River Stour. The house enjoys a private and elevated setting making this an enviable location.
