Tucked away in the serene village of Tendring, the property at The Green is a four bedroom detached home that epitomizes the perfect blend of rural charm mixed with contemporary amenities. This delightful home, occupying a generous half-acre plot and boasting nearly 2,000 square feet of living space, offers an idyllic retreat for those who yearn for space, character, and a touch of luxury. Modern conveniences are not spared having been upgraded to an Air Source Heat Pump (with five year buy in tariff remaining) and underfloor heating through the kitchen to the dining room.
As you approach, the storm porch, a charming fusion of timber and brick, welcomes you. It's a prelude to the home's inviting ambiance. Stepping through the new composite glazed door, you're greeted by the entrance hall, where red quarry tiles underfoot and exposed brickwork walls immediately capture the essence of the home's character that flows throughout the well crafted spaces.
To the right, the living room with triple aspect windows that flood the space with natural light, highlighting the luxury carpet underfoot and central fireplace whilst drawing your attention outside. This sanctuary, where every element, from the full-height window to the French doors leading out to the garden, has been thoughtfully placed to maximise the picturesque setting and your comfort.
The heart of this home is undoubtedly the kitchen. Refreshed in late 2021, it exudes a charming country style, with soft closing cream base level shaker units and a ceramic sink that offers a picturesque view of the front garden. The adjoining dining room, with its impressive red brick Inglenook fireplace and exposed beams, is a testament to the home's rich history and character. It's a space that invites family gatherings and heartfelt conversations.
The ground floor also features a well-appointed bathroom. Practical yet elegant, it includes a pear-shaped bath with a thermostatic shower, all complemented by red quarry tiling that continues the rustic theme.
The journey continues to the first floor, quirky by nature with two staircases serving the principal accommodation and ancillary bedroom accommodation separately.
The first landing, bathed in light from Velux windows, leads to the principal bedrooms, a brand new bathroom and to the fourth bedroom / home office. The first bedroom is a real retreat of tranquillity and style. The full-height feature window to the rear not only frames the distant views of farmland and woodland but also ensures the room is awash with natural light. The luxury carpet, oak door wardrobes, and wood-panelled walls create a harmonious blend of comfort and elegance tailored to your satisfaction
.
Each additional bedroom in this home has its own unique character, from vaulted ceilings with exposed beams to charming ornate fireplaces, each provide a warm and luxurious ambiance.
The outdoor space of this property is as impressive as the interior. The front garden, with its variety of fruit trees, captures the morning sun and the rear garden is a sprawling expanse, featuring a 'wildlife garden', a pond, and backing onto farm land. It's a natural paradise that invites nature in and extends the living space outdoors.
Functional outbuildings, including a new workshop and an insulated home office, add immense value and potential to the property.
The double-width driveway and a two-story garage ensure ample parking and storage space, making life here as convenient as it is beautiful.
Located in the charming village of Tendring, this property strikes the perfect balance between peaceful country living and accessibility. The nearby train stations in Manningtree and Thorpe le Soken provide excellent connections to major cities, making commuting or traveling a breeze.
