Set on a generous plot in sought-after Boxford, this 1960s detached house offers circa 1,785 sq ft of flexible family space and is offered chain free. The property’s most striking feature is a glazed gable/atrium over the hallway and landing, bringing light to the centre of the home and lending a distinctive architectural character. Large, established front and rear gardens provide privacy, outdoor play and scope for landscaping or extension (subject to permissions).
Internally the layout suits growing families: a dual-aspect lounge/dining room, kitchen, utility with internal access to the double garage, ground-floor bedroom/study and cloakroom, plus three double bedrooms and a four-piece bathroom upstairs. The double garage and generous driveway provide substantial off-street parking, while the property sits on a quiet no-through road within walking distance of the village primary school and local amenities.
The house presents a clear opportunity to modernise and personalise. Many fittings, windows and finishes appear original to the period and will benefit from refurbishment or updating; DIY-enthusiasts will find scope to create a striking, contemporary interior while retaining the home’s character. Notable practical points: council tax is above average, there is a medium flood risk for the area, and some modernization work is likely required to bring systems and décor up to current standards.
This home will appeal most to families seeking space and a village lifestyle, and to buyers prepared to invest in refurbishment to unlock the property’s full potential. With no onward chain and excellent links to Sudbury and Colchester, it offers a balance of convenience, plot size and long-term value potential.
