Description
The Willows is an exceptional property, which sits well in grounds set back from the road. Originally built in 1910, The Willows has been thoroughly and superbly remodelled and renovated by our clients to create an impressive, modern family home.
The attractive entrance with slate façade, beautiful solid oak double doors and Portland stone steps leads to a most remarkable, light filled principal reception room. This open plan room has amazing oak framed, bifolding doors, overlooking the garden and the Dedham Vale.
It encompasses a sitting area with a wood burning stove, bespoke kitchen, bar and dining area, ideal for entertaining. The hand built oak kitchen with island has a very special Indian granite worktop, integrated Neff appliances and a Bertazzoni range with gas hob and electric double oven.
The drawing room is a particularly pleasant and well-proportioned room with bifolding doors on to the terrace and a handsome chimney piece. The study also has bifolding doors on to a private decked terrace to the side of the property. Engineered oak boards flow throughout the ground floor, with under floor heating.
A wonderful winged oak staircase leads to the first floor; the west wing has two spacious
double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Our clients presently use the east wing as an incredible principal bedroom suite with two dressing rooms and two en suites; a Juliet balcony from the bedroom provides panoramic views over the Dedham Vale. The bedrooms could easily be reconfigured to create an additional two bedrooms.
THE ANNEXE
The Willows benefits from an excellent two bedroom annexe with its own kitchen and generous reception room. The annexe could offer fantastic accommodation for family, friends or staff; or, subject to planning, be integrated into the house.
THE GARDEN
To the rear of the property is a delightful, spacious yet low-maintenance lawn garden with splendid mature apple trees, terraces and pergola.
The Willows has a sweeping shingle drive, ample parking and a triple garage.

Mains water and electricity; private drainage; oil fired central heating.
