Commanding an exquisite location in rural Boxted and within easy reach of woods and pasture located on the edge of the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The house itself is approached via a five-bar gate which leads to a gravel driveway, providing off-road parking for several vehicles, leading to the open porch and entrance door.
Built in 1992, with the architectural design intent to suggest the property is several hundred years older - Keatings is aptly named after one of the most prolific art forgers in British history.
A charming entrance hall - complete with exposed brick and warm timbers - offers a place in which to greet guests before moving through to the main living accommodation. An elegant staircase leads to the first floor and an impressive, galleried landing.
This family home offers a plethora of traditional features and beautifully proportioned rooms.
The sitting room is a delightful place to spend downtime hours, with light flooding in through the triple aspect and the fire lit - what better place to spend a drizzly Sunday afternoon.
For more formal times, the dining room - with the window overlooking the front of the property and the quiet country lane - offers an elegant reception space in which to entertain family and friends. An open fireplace creates a warm ambience during the cooler months.
The kitchen / breakfast room provides plenty of space for food preparation, and space for more casual mealtimes.
For those who work from home and require a quiet space away from the main hubbub of a busy household, a dedicated study is located off the hallway.
A conservatory / orangery is a wonderful retreat, providing wonderful, year-round views of the gardens.
A useful utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom suite offers spacious accommodation accompanied by a dressing area and ensuite bathroom.
From the galleried landing, a stairwell leads up to a further bedroom with walk-in-closet – a delightful room with outstanding views over glorious North Essex countryside.
Two further charming bedrooms share use of the family bathroom.
Commencing with a flagstone terrace - enhanced by a gently climbing wisteria - the seamlessly mature gardens offer serenity and interest. Largely laid to lawn, delightful shrubs and trees add depth and character, whilst a Kitchen Garden - complete with vegetable beds and green house offer the avid gardener a quiet paradise.
For the woodworker looking for a dedicated spot, a workshop is attached the rear of the garage.
The double garage benefits from a large studio room above – which, subject to the correct permissions, could be used as additional accommodation.
