A Spacious Five Bedroom (three en-suite) Detached Family Home with stunning views across farmland.

What We Say at The Zoe Napier Group

This is a lovely family home on the edge of the village in a country lane overlooking farmland. The property really does have good-sized rooms and the recent remodelling downstairs provides excellent additional open-plan areas for entertaining.

What the Owners Say

We love living here and love the village. The Local (The Pheasant) is just under a mile and the sports field is just a stone’s throw. We have the most amazing sunny back garden in the world. We have found a property that will suit our growing family, together with having space for the ponies.

History & Background

An individual architect designed five-bedroom detached family home, built circa 2004 to provide excellent 2401 sq ft three-story accommodation, with three of the bedrooms having en-suite shower rooms, as well as a family bathroom. The interior offers very good spaces, with bright rooms, and lovely far-reaching views to the fore. The more recent remodelling of the kitchen has opened the space across the rear elevation to combine a great family area with the dining area and kitchen. There are two further reception rooms, including the sitting room with a traditional log burner.

The first floor accommodates four of the bedrooms and further stairs lead to a top-floor teenage suite where there is an attic bedroom, en-suite shower, and separate study/dressing room. Outside, there is plenty of parking, a covered garage, and carport space with access to a wide garden that enjoys many hours of sunshine.

Setting & Location

The property is situated in the highly sought-after Essex rural farming village of Gestingthorpe, on the Essex/Suffolk border, located between the market towns of Halstead, Essex, and Sudbury, Suffolk. The village offers a thriving community atmosphere and nearby is the village sports field, with a playground area, space to play football and a cricket pitch with a pavilion to enjoy the summer sport. There is also a village hall and Local pub, The Pheasant, which regularly support the community with annual events such as Bonfire Night, amongst others.

The nearest schools are in neighbouring villages (i.e. Bulmer & Maplestead) and there is also a farm shop in the nearby village of Wickham St Paul. Gestingthorpe also has some of the most amazing and undulating surrounding countryside, with a good many public footpaths for enjoyable country dog walks. There are numerous bluebell woods, the remains of a historic Roman Villa (accessible on foot), and numerous hilltop vantage points from which to enjoy the Essex/Suffolk countryside.
