This delightful period cottage is situated in-the-midst of Constable Country and the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Set quietly away from the main thoroughfare of a thriving village, on a substantial, quintessentially English plot, this delightful cottage has borne witness to Dedham country life since Victorian times.
Although the cottage had its foundations firmly laid in the 19th century, later additions and exquisite refurbishment have enabled this family home to meet all standards expected of a 21st century homeowner.
The property is approached via a hardstanding driveway which leads the visitor towards a solid wood entrance door, into the porch.
Once inside, the reception hallway offers a relaxed, open spot in which to greet guests before moving through to the main living accommodation. With the afore-mentioned refurbishment, the cottage now offers a unique combination of period and modern, with flexible, spacious living accommodation.
The sitting room benefits from double doors, flanked by windows, which overlook the paved terrace and gardens beyond. These windows create a feeling of being at one with the outside, which is a theme that runs throughout the entire ground floor. For comfort in those cooler evenings, the open fire will add warmth and a cosy focus for the room.
For those who enjoy formal dining and entertaining, the adjacent dining room provides a dedicated spot, ready to accommodate a vast table and delightful guests. With double doors opening onto the garden, the guests can flow outside onto the patio during the warmer months.
The kitchen - with its vaulted ceiling - is presented in contemporary style and benefits from a range of low-level units and a central island. The kitchen is open to the breakfast area where picture windows towards to the front and rear aspects connect these rooms to the outside.
At the front of the property is a bonus room, completely flexible in its purpose, which might accommodate those working from home or, perhaps, requiring a dedicated playroom for younger family members. This could equally be a fifth bedroom should the new homeowners require it to be so.
A utility room and shower room complete the ground floor accommodation.
On the first floor, the airy principal bedroom benefits from a dual aspect with outstanding views, in addition to an adjoining ensuite shower room. The three further bedrooms on this floor, each with delightful views, share the use of the family bathroom.
The gardens and orchard are of approximately 1.25 acres (STS) and have been loved and attended to by the current owner. A programme of planting has been carried out which will provide year-round interest in an informal setting.
