Edge of village country home with views and a separate studio.
Description
A delightful four bedroom edge-of-village family home providing well-balanced accommodation, extensive parking, double garage and a studio, around 1.3 miles south of Kelvedon village.
Lucus's Croft was constructed in the late 1800s and has been substantially extended providing in excess of 2,500 sq ft of accommodation with light-filled rooms, ideally suited for family living and entertaining. The accommodation has been thoughtfully configured making the most of its semi-rural setting with a wonderful south-west facing family room overlooking the garden and beyond. A large farmhouse style kitchen is positioned to the centre of the house providing a bespoke collection of wooden units opening to sociable dining area. There is a walk-in pantry, a separate utility room and a shower room. There are two further reception rooms and a welcoming entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor. The first floor provides four bedrooms including a remarkable main bedroom with vaulted ceiling and a triangular-shaped window providing westerly views over the garden and fields beyond. The room enjoys fitted wardrobes and a luxury en suite shower room. Concluding the accommodation is a family bathroom providing a traditional white suite. The studio is located above the garage which sits adjacent to the house.
Outside
Lucus's Croft occupies a rectangular-shaped plot siding open farmland. The property enjoys a vast amount of private parking to the side of the house which is accessed from Highfields Lane. The drive continues to a further area of parking which is gated and leads to a recently constructed double garage with an external staircase leading to a very practical studio, ideal for those working from home.
A curved red-brick terrace extends from the front of the house providing a welcoming approach and linking to a further terrace which wraps around the side and rear of the house. The garden is predominantly lawn with a variety of trees surrounding the boundary. A five-bar gate provides vehicular access into the garden with the total plot extending to around 0.87 of an acre.
