3 bedroom detached house for sale

No onward chain - A detached house occupying a prominent position in the centre of Nayland together with extensive off-road parking and an enclosed rear garden

Set well back in its generous plot of about 0.15 acres, Constable House is centrally placed along Bear Street, which is the main throughfare to Nayland. As the name suggests, Constable House was the former village police station, which entirely became a residential dwelling in the mid-1990’s.

Built in the 1960’s, the house is masonry built with cavity walls, and in 1999 a single storey extension was added which forms the open plan kitchen / breakfast room with an adjacent shower room and a separate utility room. Fitted on two walls, the kitchen area provides beech worksurfaces and numerous units with an inset electric range cooker. A set of double doors lead into the rear garden room, which gives access to the rear garden.

The original part of the house provides two front reception rooms and a spacious rear hall, with stairs to the first floor. The remaining ground floor is a single storey entrance hall which caters for study / home office use.

Set around a rear landing, the first floor comprises two front double bedrooms and a rear single bedroom, all of which provide built-in wardrobes. All the bedrooms are served via a family bathroom.

Outside, the property offers extensive, south facing frontage, which currently consists of a large circular parking area. Subject to planning permission, this principal external area could be adapted into private gardens, via raising the front redbrick wall which would provide complete privacy. Please refer to two computer generated images for context.

Access to each side of the house leads through to the enclosed rear garden where steps lead up to an area of lawn defined by established flower borders and timber fencing, which gives good privacy.
