About
This exceptional five‐bedroom detached home, extending to an impressive 3,000sqft, enjoys a privileged position in the highly sought‐after village of Boxted.
Set beside the Dedham Vale Conservation Area, the property is surrounded by rolling countryside, village playing fields, and a warm, family‐centred community.
With both primary and secondary schooling close by, along with everyday amenities such as a garden centre and village hall, the location offers an ideal balance of rural charm and practical convenience.
A beautiful oak door with panelled glazing opens into the entrance porch, creating an immediate sense of quality.
This leads through to the entrance hall, where exposed ceiling timbers introduce the home’s characterful style. From here, the downstairs cloakroom is easily accessed.
The hallway flows naturally into the sitting room, a wonderfully relaxing space with dual‐aspect windows that fill the room with natural light.
A brick fireplace adds warmth and a focal point, enhancing the inviting atmosphere. Directly off the sitting room is the music room, offering versatility for hobbies, work, or quiet retreat.
The dining room sits beyond the sitting room and provides a generous, adaptable space ideal for hosting, family meals, and day‐to‐day living.
The kitchen and breakfast room is a standout feature- bright, spacious, and recently refitted to a superb specification.
Integrated appliances include a Samsung oven, Neff microwave/oven combination, four‐ring Neff hob with flush‐level touch‐sensitive extraction, Bosch dishwasher, and Neff washing machine, with space for an American‐style fridge/freezer.
A stainless‐steel single sink with mixer tap and a dedicated breakfast area complete this impressive room.
The ground floor also benefits from a utility room with double doors opening to the rear terrace, and a boiler room housing the oil‐fired combi boiler, neatly tucked away.
Upstairs, the home continues to impress with five generous bedrooms. The main bedroom features a striking timbered vaulted roofline and dual windows, creating a bright and characterful retreat.
Its en suite offers privacy and convenience, fitted with a stylish shower and heated towel rail. The second bedroom also enjoys the vaulted roofline and offers excellent proportions.
Three further bedrooms provide comfortable, flexible accommodation suitable for family living, guests, or home working.
The family bathroom is modern and well‐appointed, featuring a rare combination of a separate walk‐in shower and bath, a heated towel rail, and a window for natural light and ventilation.
The rear garden is a beautifully designed sanctuary. A courtyard‐style seating area offers a tranquil spot for relaxation, leading through a gate to the well‐maintained lawned area.
Landscaped with established shrubland and not overlooked, the garden is a true sun trap perfect for entertaining, family time, or peaceful moments outdoors.
Externally, the property is approached through double gates, creating a secure and private setting.
The attractive frontage includes a lawned area and a driveway providing parking for up to six vehicles. A double garage with light, power, and loft storage adds further practicality.
Unlisted and truly one of a kind, this remarkable home combines charm, modern features, and an enviable village location beside Dedham Vale, a rare opportunity in one of the area’s most desirable settings.
