3 bedroom detached house for sale

A thoughtfully restored period home in the heart of Ardleigh, offering three bedrooms, versatile living spaces, and a detached converted garage, all just moments from the village centre.

The Property - Inside, Boxley House has been thoughtfully restored, with care taken to preserve its period character while creating a home that feels fresh, welcoming, and wonderfully liveable.
A small entrance porch leads into the heart of the home, where two reception rooms sit to the front. The living room centres around a characterful fireplace, while the second room lends itself equally to dining or relaxing, offering flexibility.
To the rear, the kitchen is generous and well considered, with plenty of surface space and a natural connection to the garden beyond. Just off the kitchen is a light-filled study, perfect as a home office or reading nook. A handy downstairs WC completes the ground floor.
Upstairs, three bedrooms lead off a central landing, including two spacious doubles and a third well-proportioned room, all beautifully finished and filled with natural light. At the end of the landing, a neatly presented family bathroom features classic fittings, serving all bedrooms with style and practicality.

The Outside - The exterior of the property offers a welcoming and functional layout. At the rear, a private patio provides a comfortable seating area, ideal for outdoor dining, relaxation, or entertaining. This space opens out onto a well-kept lawn, creating a seamless flow between paved and green areas.
To the side of the property is a detached, converted garage, offering useful storage space. The property also benefits from off-road parking, providing convenient and secure vehicle access.

The Area - Ardleigh is a charming village in the Tendring district of Essex, set amidst some of the county’s most picturesque countryside.
