Step Inside
Stepping into the hallway, the warm wooden floor sets the tone with most of the ground floor enjoying practical, low maintenance floor – so important for family life or a busy social calendar. The stairs are straight ahead with sophisticated cloakroom just behind, and a doorway to the left takes you to a large, bright, dual aspect reception space, previously used as a dining room, but could be an extra sitting room if needed, with beautiful wooden floor and handy storage cupboard. A door to the right from the hallway leads to the cosy carpeted sitting room with feature brick fireplace and wood burner – perfect for winter evenings snuggling down to watch a film with the family. Equally inviting in summer, this room has French doors to the terrace welcoming the summer breeze to flow through. Straight ahead from the entrance hall is the well-designed kitchen, with shaker style cabinets, an L-shaped working area including a huge range and built in microwave, a central island and ample space for sofas or dining table or both – it is a flexible space that can be repurposed to suit your needs. French doors to the terrace encourage inside outside living and add to the light bright atmosphere throughout the home. The utility room flows from the kitchen with similar cabinetry offering a wealth of storage, laundry space plus sink and would be a welcome space for muddy paws and boots having an exterior door to the rear gardens.
Well Connected
Part of the attraction of this lovely home is the immediate village facilities, where children can walk to school or play on the park and day to day amenities are so close by nearby whether needing a pint of milk, banking, or the doctors. Recreational facilities are close by with sports opportunities literally on your doorstep. Accessibility to higher education facilities, a hospital and train station for ideal commuter links to London and not far from Stansted or Norwich airports add to the benefits of this village home. Convenience is the key to modern living, and you have all aspects of it here.
Explore Upstairs
An attractive wooden staircase leads to the generous, bright landing from which all four bedrooms on this floor are found. The principal bedroom has quirky storage and a glamorous wet room boasting huge walk-in shower and modern, clean lines. This bedroom and generous bedroom two both offer easy accessibility to eaves storage space running the whole width of the house, so you won't need to climb into the loft to get the Christmas tree or suitcases out here! Two smaller bedrooms and a fabulous family bathroom with freestanding tub and wooden floor complete the first floor. Stairs from the landing lead to an enormous attic room which has such versatility and could be used as a guest room, home cinema, teens gaming area, a playroom or wonderful home office – the roof lights make this space as bright and welcoming as the rest of the home.
Step Outside
A handsome approach through double gates reveals ample parking on a huge brick weave drive, a cart lodge and garage plus attractive brick archway to the rear – a great first impression to this house. Add to it secluded, sunny gardens, beautiful trees, terraces to entertain and enjoy a cuppa on and this home has it all. A rear terrace with retaining wall stretches around the back of the house providing copious space for a dining set, sofas, barbecuing or a hot tub even! With the living room and dining room both having sets of French doors opening out to the terrace this home is built for entertaining a crowd – imagine the parties and celebration you could enjoy here. The huge trees provide privacy and welcome shade in the west facing grounds and children and dogs have plenty of lawn to run free too.
