Superbly positioned New England style house.
Description
Cherry Meadow House is a superb property, originally dating back to the 1950s and much improved and extended by our clients, into a delightful, New England style house.
Approached via a sweeping, lime tree lined drive, the house is centrally located in grounds of just over approximately five and a half acres.
The accommodation flows remarkably well with a high attention to detail throughout the property, including bespoke windows and doors by Westbury and Buscot limestone floors in the kitchen and hall.
The kitchen/dining room is an especially impressive space, with fantastic oak framed windows and a magnificent lantern flooding the room with natural light. Bifolding doors open on to a south-facing terrace.
Designed to a high specification with a five door AGA, additional induction hob and Bosch oven, integrated Hotpoint dishwashe, Silestone work surfaces and an excellent, large island. A cosy sitting room, with engineered oak boards, lies off to the south and a useful boot room to the north.
The elegantly proportioned drawing room has a wood burning stove and sash windows to the east and French windows on to the garden to the south, providing wonderful views of the stunning grounds.
Off the first floor landing, which benefits from an amazing lantern, are five bedrooms, one of which is presently used as a study/home office, and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom comprises a dressing room and space for an en suite but requires work. The double aspect principal guest bedroom has a balcony and en suite shower room.
Cherry Meadow has beautiful gardens and paddocks, including an enchanting copse or mature oak trees and a pond. To the front of the property is a veranda with oak pillars and to the side a smart terrace. To the front is also a sheltered air-source heated swimming pool. There is a double garage to one side and former planning permission for a cart lodge (now lapsed).
SERVICES
Mains water and electricity; private drainage; wood pellet boiler central heating.
Location
Cherry Meadow House is situated in a secluded setting at the end of a long tree lined drive on the edge of the village of Polstead, about 4 miles from Boxford and the market town of Hadleigh, which offers everyday amenities.
Colchester, the oldest recorded town in Britain, is about 11 miles and Ipswich, the county town of Suffolk, is about 13 miles, both provide a much wider range of educational, recreational and shopping facilities and with the main line stations to London’s Liverpool Street Station.
The village of Polstead’s central green is about 3/4 mile from the property and has a public house and a community shop with Post Office: the further settlement of Polstead Heath is about 1 mile away. Polstead is in the Stour Valley, which is recognised as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
