Within the kitchen there is space for a free-standing cooker, space and plumbing for a dishwasher as well as integrated extractor hood and under counter fridge. Ample storage is provided by a good array of cupboards and drawers.
The adjoining utility room provides further storage and workspace as well as space and plumbing for free-standing washing machine and tumble dryer. The oil-fired boiler is also located within. The cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation with handbasin and toilet.
Ascending the stairs to the first floor, the master bedroom is dual aspect with fitted wardrobes. The accompanying en-suite comprises a bath, toilet and handbasin.
Bedrooms two and three are both double rooms, with the former containing fitted wardrobes. The fourth bedroom is a large single, again with fitted wardrobes, and the airing cupboard can be found on the landing.
The family bathroom completes the internal accommodation and features a bath with shower mixer tap attachment, hand basin and toilet.
THE ANNEXE - BARNEYS
Barneys is a self-contained one-bedroom annexe that has been converted from its previous use as a double garage.
The kitchen provides space for a cooker and fridge, the shower room provides space and plumbing for a washing machine in addition to the shower cubicle, handbasin and toilet. There is also one double bedroom and a sitting room.
A timber shed under a tiled roof adjoins the annexe.
OUTSIDE
To the front of the property there is a large gravelled driveway that provides off-road parking for several vehicles.
To the side of the property a gated entrance provides access to the enclosed south facing rear garden.
The garden features numerous mature beds, borders, shrubs and trees in addition to the vegetable plot and greenhouse.
In total, the generous plot size is in excess of 0.6 acres.
SITUATION
Somerton House is located on a quiet lane in the popular village of Boxted, at the edge of the Dedham Vale, area of outstanding natural beauty.
The local primary school was rated as 'Good' in the latest Ofsted report. The highly praised independent Littlegarth School, for children from pre-school to year 6, is within easy reach and Little Owls Pre-school in the village caters for nursery age children.
Families with older children will be pleased to find a wide range of highly respected schools in the Colchester area, both state and private establishments, in addition to the highly regarded sixth form college.
The historic Roman city of Colchester is a short drive away, where you will find an array of high street chains, household brands and numerous independent boutiques lining its historic streets, squares and walks - as well as larger upmarket shops such as the Fenwick department store.
There are also multiple options for eating out to suit all tastes from an eclectic mixture of well-known franchises, through to a variety of small and quirky coffee shops, excellent family run restaurants of all nationalities, and fine dining eateries in venues that date back hundreds of years.
Transport connections are first rate with Colchester North Station providing an inter-city service to London Liverpool Street in around 50 minutes. The A12 is also close at hand.
