PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
LOCATION
Expertly crafted to exacting standards by locally renowned builder ROSE in 2018, Sycamore House offers a wonderful blend of traditional quality (suspended gable ends, accommodation beneath two meter high ceilings, large sash windows and well proportioned room sizes) with an enviable semi-rural location amongst Tendring's undulating countryside.
Little Bentley is a hamlet in North Essex just 9 miles to the East of Colchester and 5 miles south west of the vibrant waterside town of Manningtree and it is an ideal place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life to enjoy a relaxing lifestyle in a home of exceptional standing that caters for modern family living and contemporary trends.
This picturesque rural location remains well connected with easy access to the A120/A12 within a mile and a half and those looking to commute or frequent London can do so within the hour from main line stations at Manningtree, Thorpe Le Soken and Colchester. Encapsulating quintessential village life itself the backdrop of open fields is ideal for walks, cycle rides and many other leisurely outside activities with Constable Country and other beautiful villages throughout Essex's sunshine coast primed to explore from your doorstep.
Exceptional primary schooling is available throughout the peninsular with primary schools being located at Tendring, Thorpe Le Soken, Manningtree and Great Bromley all within easy reach of Little Bentley.
THE PROPERTY
Imposing and double gable fronted it is easy to appreciate the impressive style of Sycamore House from the moment you arrive.
The aspect at the front of the property is open and offers a far reaching view across farmers’ fields and rolling countryside towards the horizon. At the rear a post and rail boundary fence has purposely been established at a lower level to retain an outlook over neighbouring paddock land at the rear. Views, especially from the first floor are captivating and ever changing with the seasons.
The frontage of the plot is a generous 23m and it is here that you will find a large block paved driveway with turn that leads to the detached double garage. As you approach the property's entrance you are greeted with a well-kept-lawn and manicured flower borders before taking shelter under the open Oak framed porch.
A large reception hallway leads through to the heart of the house at the rear, an extensive open plan kitchen/diner. This has an impressive footprint and is packed full of high-end appliances within its professional design. It is an extremely social space that opens out to the South facing rear garden and includes moulded Corian work surfaces, a large central island and integral NEFF appliances such as two ovens, a combination microwave/oven, coffee machine, tall fridge, tall freezer, dishwasher, wine cooler, undermounted sink with chrome tap and a five ring hob with extractor fan over.
Also at the rear of the house is an elegantly dressed dual-aspect living room that also opens out to the sandstone patio at the rear of the property. Luxury carpet is underfoot here and the central focal feature is the log burner with sandstone heath and mantle.
At the front of the property there are two further large and flexible reception rooms currently utilised as a playroom and a study. Both rooms have sash bay windows to the front elevation and engineered Oak flooring. These rooms alongside a ground floor cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs you will find five double bedrooms, two of these with their own splendid ensuites. The principal bedroom incorporates a dressing area too with built in mirror fronted wardrobes.
Each bedroom frames its own unique elevated perspective of the surrounding countryside.
As you would expect to find on the first floor, there is an excellent specification of family bathroom and all accommodation on this floor is served by a light and airy galleried landing.
OUTSIDE
The south facing rear garden is approximately 26 meters at its widest and begins with a sandstone patio and terrace that exacts to the width of the property. The garden wraps around the western side of the property and offers a private and secluded space for your children to play or for your guests to be suitably impressed and relaxed.
To the eastern side of the garden you will find a potting area and behind the DOUBLE GARAGE (of 5.28m x 5.47m with two up and over doors, light + power connected, personal door to the side and eaves storage above) you will find a workshop of 5m x 1.77m.
