Occupying a prime position on the highly sought-after Farmfield Road in Great Tey, this exceptional four-bedroom detached home has been re-imagined, extended and significantly upgraded by the current owners, including an impressive double-storey extension.
The result is a beautifully balanced and versatile family home, finished to a high standard throughout and perfectly suited to modern living.
The property is approached via a block-paved driveway, providing ample off-road parking and access to a double-length garage.
A spacious and welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, enhanced by stylish lvt flooring and oak internal doors, and leads to a sleek ground floor cloakroom complete with contemporary fittings.
