About
This spacious four-bedroom home, originally built in 1972, has been a much-loved family property for 33 years and offers generous accommodation, excellent parking, wonderful views and a particularly impressive rear garden.
The property has been well maintained over the years and has remained largely unchanged, aside from the addition of a conservatory, which leads to a large terrace extending the length of the property.
The accommodation includes a welcoming entrance, a large lounge/dining room providing an excellent space for both relaxing and entertaining, a well-equipped kitchen, a useful utility room and additional storage/ boot room which has scope for use as a study, workshop or home gym.
The property also benefits from ample built-in storage, conveniently located off the hallways and within the bedrooms.
There are four bedrooms, comprising three generously sized double bedrooms and a fourth bedroom currently used as a study, offering flexibility for those working from home or requiring additional living space.
Three of the bedrooms benefit from built-in wardrobes, providing excellent storage.
The family bathroom, together with a second spacious bathroom featuring a walk-in shower, completes the internal accommodation.
One of the property's particularly appealing features is the wonderful views from the rear across the valley of the River Stour.
These can be highly enjoyed from the terrace, lounge, conservatory, kitchen and the main bedroom, allowing the outlook to be appreciated from a number of rooms throughout the home.
Externally, the property offers excellent parking, with a driveway providing space for approximately 5–6 vehicles, leading to a substantial double garage.
A wooden gate provides additional privacy and security across the driveway.
To the rear is a very large garden, offering an abundance of space for families, keen gardeners and those looking to create their own outdoor retreat.
The garden also benefits from a substantial summerhouse and a useful large shed/ workshop, providing additional storage. The property also has a large front garden, adding to its attractive frontage.
Having been in the same ownership for more than three decades, this is a home that has clearly been cherished and offers a fantastic opportunity for a new owner to make it their own.
