About
Tucked away along a quiet lane close to the Ardleigh and Dedham border, this individual detached bungalow occupies a remarkable semi-rural setting of approximately 0.59 of an acre, offering privacy, space and beautifully curated gardens that frame the home from every angle.
Hunters Chase is a small, discreet turning known for its executive homes and countryside surroundings yet remains highly convenient for access into Colchester and the A12.
The interior is thoughtfully designed with a natural flow between three reception areas, two enjoying lovely garden views.
The main living room is spacious and inviting, ideal for everyday living and entertaining, leading into a stunning vaulted family room with extensive glazing overlooking the gardens.
A separate dining area links the living space and kitchen, perfect for formal dining and relaxed family meals.
The kitchen forms the heart of the home, featuring a generous breakfast area beneath high ceilings and skylights that fill the space with natural light.
Offering clean lines, ample storage and practical workspace, it is both functional and stylish.
The property also benefits from a utility room, providing excellent additional storage and helping keep the main living areas uncluttered.
