The local catchment state primary school in Nayland is rated "outstanding" by Ofsted. The prestigious Stoke by Nayland golf and country club is approximately 2 miles distant.

The city of Colchester with its main line rail link to London Liverpool Street station is 7 miles distant whilst the well-preserved market town of Sudbury is 7 miles distant.

Idano, 3-5 Stoke Road, is a substantial and characterful residential property occupying an edge-of-village position within the Suffolk parish of Leavenheath.

The building now forms a single dwelling but has historically been arranged as two semi-detached cottages, offering significant flexibility for reconfiguration, subject to any necessary consents.

Requiring comprehensive modernisation throughout, the property presents an excellent opportunity to create a sizeable family home or multi-generational accommodation.

In its most recent use, the property functioned as two two-bedroom cottages, providing four double bedrooms in total, complemented by two first-floor cloakrooms, two landing rooms and separate staircases.

At ground floor level the accommodation includes two sitting rooms, two dining rooms and an inner hall, with No.

3 Stoke Road benefiting from a single-storey rear extension comprising a kitchen/dining room, rear hall, pantry and garden room.

Externally, the brick-fronted elevations and evidence of exposed internal timbers suggest a considerably older core, adding to the property's period appeal.

The house is served by mains water, mains drainage and electricity, with heating provided by a single oil-fired boiler supplying radiators, supplemented by electric storage heaters to parts of the ground floor and throughout the first floor.

The principal residence is further enhanced by an extensive range of outbuildings, including timber-framed external stores, animal shelters and open-fronted garage style buildings, offering excellent ancillary space for storage, hobbies or small-scale rural uses.

The property sits within grounds extending to approximately 0.95 acres.
