General information The property benefits from versatile accommodation and offers potential annexe and business space. The beautiful mature gardens of the property approach an acre together with a 3.5 acre Millennium Wood.
An entrance lobby and welcoming hallway provide access to the principal reception rooms and the well-equipped country kitchen/breakfast room. Fitted with a range of storage units with Corian worksurfaces and space for appliances including an American style fridge/freezer, the kitchen has views of the garden with a pleasant window seat to the front. The utility and boot room provide further storage units and space for appliances. A door from the utility leads to the cloakroom and the boot room has a door to the driveway.
The dining/playroom is set to the rear of the property with sliding doors to a courtyard and there is a snug which could be ideal as a children's gaming room. The inner hallway and entrance hall have French doors to the light filled sitting room, a fantastic space with access into the conservatory with garden views, fireplace, and a spiral staircase to the principal bedroom suite. To the east wing are two ground floor bedrooms, one with access to its own private terrace together with a modernised shower/wet room and additional cloakroom providing potential for annex accommodation. To complete the ground floor is a study with part-vaulted ceiling and access to the sun terrace and the magnificent drawing room. The drawing room is a lovely size with elevated and exposed timbered ceilings together with garden views. There is a range of bespoke fitted shelving, storage cupboards and the current owners utilise this room as a movie/party room with a wall projector.
To the first floor are three generously proportioned bedrooms and a modern family bathroom comprising bath with shower over, WC and wash hand basin inset to vanity unit. Bedroom four is currently used as a dressing room for the principal bedroom which also benefits from built in wardrobes and ensuite facilities with a private landing and spiral staircase to the sitting room. All bedrooms have gorgeous, elevated views over the valley and roof tops of the village.
Outside The property is set down a quiet country road with a shingle turning driveway and separate entrance and exit which lead to the triple garage. A gated access leads to the front garden and rear terrace which is a lovely sun trap throughout the day with low level retaining brick walls with planted flower and shrub borders.
A sun terrace wraps around the entire front of the house and extends to the orchards on the far side. Part of the terrace is covered by an open fronted Victorian style conservatory which is ideal for entertaining all year round. The formal gardens are predominately laid to lawn interspersed with well stocked flower beds and shrub borders, enclosed all round with mature hedging and trees. As you walk to the far end of the house there is a paved path that leads in to a second paved terrace area where there is a summer house. Looking out from the property on the left hand side there is a beautiful weeping willow tree which provides an elegant dappled shade and an ideal seating place should you wish to seek shelter from the sun. From most points of the garden, views over the Stour Valley can be seen to the front. To one side of the formal gardens there is a small orchard with a number of planted fruit trees. A holly hedge and gate leads through in to a 3.5 acre planted millennium wood known as Daisy's Wood, which provides an excellent spot for walking dogs or playing games with the family. The neighbouring farmer has a right of access over the driveway between the formal gardens and Daisy's wood.
Location The property is located on the northern outskirts of Bures, an attractive large Essex/Suffolk border village which lies between Sudbury and Colchester. Bures itself has an excellent local community. There are local shopping facilities and public houses and a branch line station which connects to the mainline at Marks Tey.
The market town of Sudbury is within comfortable driving distance with its excellent range of local shopping and recreational facilities and is surrounded by beautiful countryside famously painted by both John Constable and Thomas Gainsborough and also has good access to local villages such as Long Melford and Lavenham.
Important information We understand that mains, water, gas and electricity are connected to the property. Drainage is to a septic tank and there is gas central heating.
