Description

A spacious four-bedroom detached family home set within approx. 1 acres (STS), with outstanding countryside views, extensive garaging, situated in the picturesque village of Acton, just a few miles from Sudbury.

Set behind double gates and approached via a generous block-paved driveway, this impressive home offers the perfect balance of rural seclusion and modern practicality. With sweeping lawns, mature trees and a rear paddock, the property makes an ideal choice for families seeking space, privacy, and an outdoor lifestyle.

The ground floor offers a welcoming entrance porch leading into a bright hallway. The 25ft dual-aspect lounge is a standout feature, enjoying a bay window to the front, French doors to the garden at the rear, and an attractive open fireplace — creating a warm, sociable space for everyday living. A separate dining room provides an ideal setting for family meals or entertaining, while the well-planned kitchen offers excellent storage and scope to modernise or reconfigure. A cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms offer comfortable accommodation for families of all sizes. The two largest bedrooms benefit from built-in wardrobes, and the family bathroom includes a separate bath and shower.

Outside, the property truly excels. The extensive plot begins with a large patio terrace overlooking the lawned garden, opening into a substantial paddock area. The home presents a rare opportunity for multi-generational living, investment, or those wishing to create a bespoke second residence (STP).

A superb range of outbuildings includes a detached double garage, a triple cart-lodge, and a further single cart-lodge, all with power and lighting — perfect for car collectors, home businesses, hobbies or workshop use.

A rare opportunity to secure a sizable family home on an exceptional plot in a beautifully peaceful village setting. Early viewing is strongly encouraged
