Aspire Estate Agents are delighted to offer this exceptional four-bedroom detached chalet-style home, beautifully positioned within a quiet and highly sought-after cul-de-sac.
Backing directly onto open woodland and Hadleigh Nature Reserve, the property enjoys a wonderfully private setting, with direct gated access from the rear garden to miles of picturesque countryside. Its combination of privacy, generous accommodation and proximity to nature makes this a genuinely rare opportunity.
The house has been extensively refurbished and thoughtfully extended to create an impressive family home finished to an exacting standard. Oak doors, oak parquet flooring, bespoke storage, traditional-style radiators and carefully selected fittings contribute to a refined yet welcoming interior.
At the heart of the property is a superb open-plan kitchen, lounge and dining space extending to approximately 24'8" × 13'10". Designed for both everyday family life and entertaining, this bright and spacious room opens directly onto the secluded west-facing garden through wide bi-folding doors.
The ground floor also provides two generous bedrooms, a stylish shower room, a separate utility room and a welcoming entrance hall with a beautiful oak staircase.
Upstairs are two further bedrooms. The impressive principal suite features a walk-in dressing room and a Juliette balcony overlooking the rear garden and woodland beyond. Bedroom two benefits from its own en-suite, while a luxurious four-piece family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation.
Outside, the extensively landscaped rear garden provides an exceptional setting for entertaining and relaxation. Manicured lawns, mature planting, block-paved patios and a bespoke covered outdoor kitchen combine to create a remarkable private retreat.
A substantial detached double garage/workshop and an extensive block-paved driveway provide excellent parking, storage and workspace.
