Situated on the outskirts of Dedham within the picturesque Dedham Vale National Landscape, this exquisite property offers an inviting blend of elegance and charm throughout. Each room is thoughtfully designed, embracing a seamless flow that balances warmth with sophistication which is immediately evident upon entering the entrance hall. Moving through to the main living accommodation, the sitting room benefits from a log burning stove for winter’s evenings and soft, natural light filtering through, enhancing the room's tranquil ambiance. This space is ideal for relaxed gatherings or quiet moments, creating a serene welcoming atmosphere. The adjacent garden room offers a delightful extension of the indoor space, opening out through French doors to views of the large terrace and beautifully landscaped garden. This room provides a light, airy atmosphere, allowing one to enjoy the beauty of the outdoor scenery from the comfort of indoors, making it a versatile space suited for relaxation throughout the year. An elegant dining room provides a refined yet intimate setting, perfect for hosting family meals or formal entertaining. The room exudes a sense of understated luxury, with a layout that encourages connection and conversation around the dining table. The kitchen lies at the heart of the property, featuring a layout that balances functionality with style. Ample workspace and well-placed appliances cater for both the casual cook and the culinary enthusiast, making it a pleasure to prepare meals. A snug area off the kitchen provides a spot, ideal for daytime relaxation, while a breakfast bar is ideal for informal meals.
The adjoining utility room provides additional practical space, neatly accommodating household essentials and a large airing cupboard to maintain the kitchen's clean, uncluttered appeal.
For those working from home, a dedicated study with bespoke storage and views over the garden provides a tranquil space, away from the general hubbub of a busy household.
A cloakroom, with built-in storage, completes the ground floor accommodation. The first floor of this beautifully presented property comprises three double bedrooms, each offering its own unique charm and functionality. The principal bedroom serves as a restful retreat, characterised by its elegant simplicity and the gentle light filtering through the windows.
Double doors to a Juliette balcony frame scenic views over the surrounding landscape. Adjoining the principal bedroom is a dedicated dressing room, thoughtfully arranged to provide ample storage and organisation. This space combines practicality with refinement, allowing for a seamless dressing experience without intruding on the bedroom's restful ambiance. The dressing room could readily be adapted back into a third bedroom if required, offering flexibility to accommodate changing needs.
The principal ensuite is a sanctuary of indulgence, featuring a freestanding bath, a spacious shower and double sink stone topped vanity unit, all set against a backdrop of elegant finishes that blend modern luxury with timeless charm.
The second bedroom on this floor is similarly generous, with a warm and inviting feel that makes it perfect for guests or family members. Its tasteful decor and well-considered layout provide a comfortable and private space, enhancing the home's appeal.
Completing the first floor is a well-appointed family bathroom and a significant storage cupboard, designed with both style and function in mind.
The property includes a self-contained guest suite nestled within the garden, providing a private and welcoming retreat for visitors. This suite has a spacious bedroom with vaulted ceiling and double doors opening onto its own east facing private terrace for morning sunshine, combined with a well-appointed ensuite. Guests can enjoy comfort and convenience while enjoying their own tranquil space, surrounded by the beauty of the landscaped grounds.
The outdoor areas of this property are as thoughtfully designed as the interiors, offering a blend of formal gardens and open spaces that create a picturesque setting. The grounds are a harmonious extension of the home, with a neatly manicured lawn and pathways that guide you through various charming outdoor spots, each with its own character. Mature trees and carefully planted borders provide privacy and seasonal colour, while the sheltered terraces off the kitchen and garden rooms offer perfect spaces for al fresco dining or quiet reflection. A winding path leads to the enchanting self-contained guest suite, nestled amongst lush greenery, giving it a secluded feel while remaining within easy reach. Raised beds and a secluded walled area add interest and functionality to the garden, ideal for a vegetable or herb garden, or simply as a relaxing nook in the outdoors. The expansive views over the surrounding countryside complete this tranquil outdoor experience, enhancing the sense of space and freedom that defines this exceptional property.
