House For Sale £700,000
13 Chapel Street is a semi-detached house that offers over 2 300 sq. ft of attractive, light-filled accommodation arranged over three floors. The property has been a part of village life for over 150 years having previously been the main village store. It has been lovingly remodelled and renovated by its current owners and now incorporates modern living comforts alongside charming reminders of its past. Fully double glazed and with underfloor heating in the living spaces on all three floors it is a warm and comfortable home.
The ground floor of the property hosts three receptions room and a study decorated in light tones enhanced by tall ceilings and natural light. The central oak staircase with glass balustrade was professionally designed and made on site and sits comfortably against the original timbers of the building. The sitting room benefits from wood flooring, a brick fireplace and attractive beam detailing, while the contemporary country-style kitchen features pale blue cabinetry and a central island hosting a hob and a breakfast bar. Double doors lead through to the dining/family room. Also on this floor is a private study, a downstairs cloakroom and access to the large basement, currently being used for storage though with potential for use as a gym, cinema space or many other options.
Upstairs are three double bedrooms and two modern family bathrooms split over two different levels. The principal bedroom has double-aspect windows and beautiful beam detailing, plus easy access to the larger of the two bathrooms. On the top floor, between bathroom and double bedroom, a smaller room could be used as a dressing room or an office or hobby room at the well-lit rear of the property
13 Chapel Street sits in the centre of Steeple Bumpstead and within the conservation area. It benefits from its own off-road parking. A split height patio area provides flexible outside living / dining space across the whole of the rear of the house which benefits from both sun and shade during the day and evening. A secluded area beyond the outbuilding / workshop is currently a productive vegetable growing area equipped with raised beds but could easily be returned to lawn and flower beds.
There is a large outbuilding in the garden which has its own cloakroom and mini kitchen space. Although currently used as a workshop, it could also be used as a home office or converted into a guest suite.
There is also a brick built fuel store with a tiled roof between the back doors to the house. This can be used for storing logs and coal for the wood burner but is also easily large enough to securely accommodate bikes and other such equipment.
Steeple Bumpstead sits in north Essex but close to both the Suffolk and Cambridgshire borders. It is just a short drive from Haverhill. The village itself hosts a range of amenities, including two village pubs, a well stocked shop with post office and petrol station and a large modern village hall hosting a wide range of activities.
