Commanding an ideal location on the outskirts of Dedham, with excellent transport links for both family and customers, this outstanding property is set in grounds in excess of 2.38 acres (STS), divided between private house and gardens and the thriving kennels / cattery.
The family home is set back from the road, behind a brick retaining wall and approached via a gravel driveway, which provides both access to the house and detached garage - providing off-road parking for several vehicles.
Once inside, the house offers original features and an historic ambience, whilst providing spacious accommodation fit for a 21st century family's needs.
The sitting room in particular benefits from rich tones, with exposed timbers and inglenook fireplace - complete with wood burner, adding further warmth and a cosy atmosphere during the cooler months.
The dual aspect living room offers a different feel; with light pouring in through the windows, rich wide floorboards, and an area ideal for use as a study space.
At the heart of the house, the beautifully appointed kitchen creates a central hub, with the dining / family room and conservatory leading off from here. The kitchen itself is presented in ivory Shaker style and offers plenty of room for food preparation.
