Set within about 3.27 acres on the Essex/Suffolk border, this five-bedroom detached house suits buyers wanting space, equestrian facilities and countryside privacy. The home sits behind a long gated drive, with paddocks, stables and immediate bridleway access that will particularly appeal to riders and families who keep horses. The garden, terrace and outdoor pool extend the living space in summer and provide a peaceful rural backdrop.
The house is characterful — two open fireplaces, an inglenook-style family room with bar, and a principal bedroom with en-suite and dressing area — but is a little dated in places. The attached quadruple garage offers notable scope for conversion to annexe or extra living accommodation (subject to planning), while the long front garden could accommodate additional parking or a cartlodge (stp).
Practical points to note: the property is offered chain free and ready for immediate occupation, but some updating may be desired; the pool is currently unheated; the estate comprises four registered titles which can affect mortgage arrangements for some lenders; and the EPC is a D with council tax described as expensive. Overall, this is a strong proposition for equestrian families or buyers seeking countryside living with potential to adapt and improve.
