Enjoying a most enviable position on the crest of Castle Hill, this substantial village home offers spacious accommodation, enhanced by outstanding views.
Built in the late C19th, the original double-fronted, red-brick property has been sympathetically extended and enhanced in more recent years, thus becoming a well-proportioned family home.
Set back from the road, a gravel pathway leads to the entrance door.
Once inside, the entrance hall provides a place in which to greet guests before moving through to the main living accommodation.
A dual aspect sitting room, replete with arts and crafts style fireplace - perhaps original - emits an elegance and charm which is highly desirable in this 21st century.
To the other side of the hallway, a dedicated dining room offers a similar appeal, with art nouveau style cast-iron fireplace and bay window creating a stylish ambience to the room - ideal when entertaining family and friends.
Adjacent to the dining room is the kitchen, which is presented in warm wood tones and provides plenty of space for food preparation.
The addition of a garden room at the rear of the property provides direct access onto the garden and benefits from a wide bay window - providing the occupier with superb views of the garden and beyond, 365 days of the year.
For those working from home, or with teenagers needing a quiet place for homework, the study is quietly tucked away from the main hubbub of a busy household.
A well appointed utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.
On the first floor, five bedrooms and the family bathroom lead off from the landing. The principal bedroom, however, benefits from its own charming fireplace and ensuite facilities.
Residing on a plot of approximately 0.22 acres (STS), the gardens are beautifully landscaped and make the most of the exquisite vista across the Dedham Vale - none more so than the detached summerhouse whose orientation allows the occupier uninterrupted views across the fields - taking in the churches of both Dedham and Stratford St. Mary.
