The nearby market towns of Colchester (15 miles) and Bury St Edmunds (18 miles) offer extensive amenities, the former providing a mainline station to London Liverpool Street, serving the commuter.

ACCOMMODATION GROUND FLOOR: An entrance hall benefits from a full height ceiling and, in part, a galleried landing and serves plenty of living space on the ground floor. A particularly light and well-proportioned dual aspect sitting room provides plenty of space for seating with sliding doors opening onto a terrace at the rear and a central wood burning stove situated on a brick hearth. There is the additional benefit of a separate TV room/snug also with double doors opening onto the garden. There is plenty of space to work from home with a well-sized study and a ground floor cloakroom adjacent. A well-presented island kitchen/breakfast room contains a matching range of base and wall level units with solid wood work surfaces incorporating a one and a half ceramic sink and with space for an American style fridge freezer, space and plumbing for a dishwasher and space for a range cooker. Double doors opening onto the garden. Adjacent to the kitchen is a dining room with ample room for a large table and chairs and a utility/boot room off, also with access onto the garden and a large pantry off.

ACCOMMODATION FIRST FLOOR: The galleried landing provides access to four bedrooms. The principal suite benefits from an en-suite and a range of fitted storage and an outlook over the rear garden. There is a further en-suite bedroom to the front, two additional double rooms and a further single bedroom. A family bathroom contains an enamel roll top bath.
