This superb character detached home in an unrivalled position offers spacious, airy, and well-presented accommodation throughout. Versatility, space and light are the order of the day; a theme that runs throughout the property, which has been extensively remodelled and expanded by the current owners. The generous ENTRANCE HALLWAY is welcoming and bright, with doors radiating from here to the extensive ground floor accommodation, including a downstairs contemporary SHOWER SUITE with underfloor heating, shower cubicle, W.C and wash hand basin. The dual aspect SITTING ROOM boasts quintessential modern charm and comfort, and is situated to the front of the property. Double doors open to the SNUG, which is another airy and generous reception room, with an impressive woodburner. This space in turn opens to the GARDEN ROOM, a delightful area which makes the most of the views over the expansive rear garden and rural vista beyond. The DINING ROOM, conveniently situated adjacent to the kitchen, includes glass-fronted double doors opening on to the rear gardens.
The KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM boasts underfloor heating and 'Slab Tech' countertops and breakfast bar, kettle/filtered water tap, Neff™ integrated appliances including eye-level double oven, 5 ring gas hob with fume hood over, dishwasher, Zanussi™ fridge freezer, plus an abundance of shaker style wall and floor mounted units and a lovely garden outlook from each window. The UTILITY/BOOT ROOM has been finished to the same high standard, continuing the underfloor heating, a Belfast sink and space and plumbing for washing machine. This room offers access to the rear garden and double garage, respectively.
From the hallway, a superbly crafted, carpeted staircase leads to the open FIRST FLOOR landing. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is a bright room with views across the expansive rear garden and fields beyond the treeline. This room has space for freestanding wardrobes and includes an ensuite Shower Cubicle. BEDROOM TWO enjoys the same rear aspect, with BEDROOMS THREE and FOUR overlooking the front of the property, the latter also including generous integrated wardrobes. The FAMILY BATHROOM is conveniently sited for all bedrooms, and comprises a panelled bath with separate shower above, W.C, bidet and wash hand basin.
With its idyllic setting and sweeping views across the River Stour, this home already offers an exceptional lifestyle. For those dreaming of an indulgent main suite to match the surroundings, the upstairs layout lends itself to further possibilities. The current owners have explored an inspiring concept for a vast principal bedroom with en suite, dressing room and substantial private balcony — the perfect spot to soak in the landscape and start the day slowly.
