4 bed country house for sale

Saunders Field, Dedham, Colchester, Essex CO7

Located within the prestigious Hallfields development, in highly sought-after Dedham, this immaculately presented property is situated in the heart of the Dedham Vale National Landscape. The house itself has been crafted to the highest specifications and offers spacious accommodation, further enhanced by off-road parking, cart lodge and gardens.

The ground floor opens with a bright, spacious hallway that sets the tone for the rest of the home — calm, considered, and beautifully put together. Soft, neutral tones and natural light create an immediate sense of warmth and clarity.
To one side, the main living room offers a generous space, with large windows framing views to the front and a central fireplace bringing a natural focal point. This room feels both welcoming and composed, well suited to relaxed evenings or hosting guests.
At the rear, the kitchen and family room span the width of the house — a space designed to bring people together. The kitchen itself is sleek and thoughtfully arranged, opening onto a light-filled family area that connects directly to the garden through wide, glazed doors, making the most of the seasons, blending inside and out with ease.
Practical elements are neatly considered too, with a separate utility room and a ground floor cloakroom, both tucked away to preserve the clean lines and open feel of the main spaces. The layout flows effortlessly, making day-to-day living as smooth as it is stylish.
The first floor continues the home’s sense of balance and clarity, offering well-proportioned rooms that are thoughtfully arranged to suit both privacy and comfort. The principal bedroom is a standout feature, generous in scale and bathed in natural light, with dual windows overlooking the front. Its mirrored wardrobes and private ensuite contribute to a sense of calm and effortless order.
A second bedroom also benefits from its own ensuite, making it ideal for guests or older children. Two further double bedrooms are positioned to the rear, each enjoying views across the garden and countryside beyond. These rooms share access to a stylish family bathroom, finished in a neutral palette that complements the rest of the home.
The exterior of the property offers a striking first impression, blending timeless architectural style with the charm of its Dedham setting. The front elevation, with its combination of red brick and dark weatherboarding, presents a confident yet welcoming facade, softened by well-tended borders and a manicured lawn that frame the approach.
To the rear, the garden unfolds as a private and beautifully landscaped retreat, thoughtfully arranged to balance structured planting with open green spaces. A generous terrace provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining or quiet relaxation, bordered by mature shrubs, flowering plants, and established trees that offer both colour and seclusion. The lawn is framed by carefully curated beds, leading to a more informal seating area tucked away to catch the evening sun.
The garden's design encourages outdoor living, offering pockets of space for entertaining, play, or quiet contemplation, all within a setting that feels both private and connected to the surrounding landscape.
