Situated on the outskirts of Dedham and within the Dedham Vale National Landscape, this outstanding home offers sublime country living with uninterrupted views across glorious north Essex countryside.

Set in its own private valley amidst lush greenery and expansive landscapes, this remarkable residence, set in 5 acres (STS), offers a unique blend of traditional architecture and contemporary design, perfectly situated to capture the breathtaking views over the valley. This property is approached by a long gravel driveway and stands as a beacon of refined country living. Its meticulously designed interior and spectacularly landscaped exterior promise a tranquil and opulent lifestyle.

Upon entry, the grandeur of the entrance hall immediately sets a tone of sophistication that pervades throughout the home. Flowing seamlessly from the entrance is the dining room, a striking space defined by its double height ceiling and large windows that flood the area with natural light while offering panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. This architectural feature not only enhances the sense of space but also creates an atmosphere ideal for hosting elegant dinners and gatherings.

Adjacent to the dining room is a modern, sleek kitchen equipped with Neff appliances – replete with wine fridge - and a central island. This kitchen is not just a culinary workspace but a vibrant heart of the home, where functionality meets style in a seamless blend. The space opens out to a serene garden room, providing a perfect spot for morning coffees or evening relaxation, overlooking the sprawling gardens.

A cozy snug offers a classic design and a separate, relaxed living area that exudes comfort and elegance.

The ground floor also houses multiple bedrooms, each thoughtfully placed to ensure privacy and comfort. These rooms are complemented by a well-appointed bathroom and built-in wardrobes, which maximize ease of living.

A beautiful, hand-crafted staircase in the entrance hall leads to the first floor, where the exquisite, galleried landing offers an impressive view of both the gardens and the dining room below.

This upper level is home to the principal bedroom, which promises a private sanctuary with its ensuite facilities, walk-in-wardrobe and exclusive design. The bedroom is positioned to capitalize on the commanding views across the valley, ensuring a peaceful and scenic environment.

Tucked away on the first floor, but nonetheless no less impressive, is a substantial living room, designed to capture the natural beauty of the exterior surroundings. Large, inviting, and versatile, it serves as a family hub or a quiet escape.

In addition to the main residence, the property includes a detached double garage and a versatile summerhouse which doubles as an office space, offering opportunities for remote work or creative endeavours within a peaceful setting.

The patio area serves as an idyllic outdoor entertainment space, perfect for dining al fresco and enjoying the serene atmosphere of the countryside.

Outside, the extensive grounds feature beautifully manicured lawns and a variety of mature trees, providing not only privacy but also a haven for local wildlife. The gardens provide a splendid backdrop for outdoor activities, relaxation, and entertaining, especially during the warmer months.
