This spacious four-bedroom chalet-style home on The Drift offers flexible family living across approximately 1,463 sq ft. The ground floor layout centres on a large open-plan kitchen–breakfast room that opens onto the rear garden, a substantial sitting room with bay window, and a ground-floor principal bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and en-suite — useful for multi-generational or adaptable living.
Practical everyday life is well provided for: a utility room, single garage with rear workshop/store, extensive paved parking and a low‑maintenance courtyard garden with mature shrubs. Built in the early 2010s to a high standard, the house benefits from good insulation, double glazing, a modern gas boiler, mains pressure hot water and an EPC B rating.
The property sits in a quiet, affluent village setting with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and good local schools nearby, making it convenient for commuting via the A12 and rail links from Ipswich, Manningtree and Colchester. Available with no onward chain, the house is ready for immediate occupation.
Notable practical points: the home is council tax band E (above-average bill), and the conservatory and courtyard garden are relatively low-maintenance but compact compared with larger family gardens. Overall the layout suits families or buyers needing a ground-floor bedroom and generous parking with additional storage space.
