Description
Situated on the edge of the popular village of Nacton and adjoining gently undulating fields, Orwell Dene is a superb family home within over three quarters of an acre of delightful grounds.
The heart of the house is believed to date from the 1790s and the property retains many excellent historic features, most notably the impressive staircase constructed of former ship's timbers.
The house has handsome rendered elevations under a slate tile roof, with timber framed casement and dormer windows.
Internally, the accommodation flows exceptionally well, comprising wonderfully proportioned, light- filled rooms with high ceilings throughout, especially in the magnificent vaulted reception hall.
The spacious, double-aspect kitchen is flooded with natural light; French windows lead out to the terrace and garden. Beyond the kitchen is a useful utility room, with two external doors.
Hand built by Orwells Furniture, the bespoke kitchen features granite work surfaces, wooden cabinetry providing ample storage, an island, a Brittania range with a gas hob and integrated appliances including Neff combination oven/microwave, Neff warming drawer, Neff dishwasher and Fisher & Paykel fridge/freezer.
The elegantly proportioned, double aspect drawing room has an attractive Limestone Chesneys fireplace, and French windows out to the terrace. Glazed double doors lead through to the formal dining room.
Completing the ground floor are the study, snug/music room and double aspect sitting room - offering various spaces for relaxing and entertaining. There is also a boot room and cloakroom.
There are six well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor. The double aspect principal bedroom is a particularly fine and spacious room. Many of the rooms enjoy delightful country views.
