A rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully historic home, thoughtfully updated for modern living. Originally formed from a row of Grade II listed Tudor cottages and dating back nearly 500 years, this exceptional 5/6 bedroom residence sits in the heart of Ardleigh and offers a unique combination of period character and contemporary style.
Set within a generous plot of over one-third of an acre (subject to survey), this timber-framed home is rich in character, with exposed beams, brickwork, an impressive inglenook fireplace and multiple log burners creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout.
The ground floor offers a series of beautifully connected reception spaces with excellent ceiling heights, including a grand dining room, elegant drawing room, cosy snug and a well-proportioned study. Practicality is equally well considered, with a boot room, large utility room and ample storage. A stunning newly installed kitchen, stylishly designed and well-appointed, creates a natural hub of the home.
The adaptable layout offers exceptional flexibility, with spaces that can be arranged to meet a wide range of requirements, including the potential for up to six bedrooms. On the first floor, there are four bedrooms, three of which are spacious doubles, along with a dressing room off the principal bedroom, previously used as an additional bedroom. A family bathroom, and a separate shower room.
A particularly appealing feature is the potential annexe arrangement on the ground floor, comprising a bedroom, kitchen area and shower room, ideal for multi-generational living, guests or independent accommodation.
Approached via a gated driveway, the property opens into a charming rear courtyard offering secure parking for multiple vehicles, alongside a double garage, cart lodge, wood store and kennel. Beyond, the fully enclosed, west-facing rear garden enjoys an abundance of sunlight, with a large lawn and raised decking area.
Location:
Ardleigh is a popular and well-serviced medieval village lying between Colchester and Manningtree, on the edge of the Dedham Vale AONB. It offers a well-stocked corner shop (open daily until late), a good primary school, a post office, a doctors surgery and dispensary, a farm shop with cafe/bar, Chinese takeaway, two popular pubs/eateries, a village hall with recreation ground and cricket field, and several playgrounds. For outdoor types, Ardleigh resovior's 136 acres of peaceful, secluded waters are home to angling clubs and the thriving and friendly Sailing Club. Excellent local footpaths connect to The Essex Way and The Suffolk Way.
The beautiful medieval village of Dedham is only 2.7 miles away with further eateries, shops, galleries, a delicatessen, butcher, dentist and pharmacy. As well as boating, canoeing and walks along the River Stour into wider Constable Country.
Manningtree and Colchester mainline stations are about 3.9 and 4.9 miles away respectively with trains to London Liverpool Street from 48 minutes. There is also easy access to the a12, as well as good local bus services.
