Description

THE PROPERTY
This 1610 built property has been much improved during our client’s ownership and is a wonderful home for entertaining.

Improvements include a new roof, high-grade insulation throughout, four sets of bi-fold doors (making it extremely light for a house of its age), a newly fitted kitchen/breakfast room, a mix of modern and period style radiators, modern bathrooms, log-burners in two of the reception rooms and solar-panels that provide a high-tariff income and which contribute towards the property’s impressive EPC rating.
 
In 2022, a superb garden room with spotlights and a roof lantern was built off the rear of the property, creating a fourth entertaining space which has delightful views over the garden.

A fully fitted and very stylish kitchen/breakfast room opens onto the garden room and is appointed with two ovens, a dishwasher, a microwave, a coffee maker, an induction hob and two sinks.
 
Other highlights of the ground floor include a central dining room which is open-plan to the kitchen and which has a log-burner within a red-brick inglenook fireplace, a sitting room with a similar log-burner arrangement and a bay-window, plus a delightful family room which has bi-fold doors to a private patio. There is also a WC and entrance hall.

On the first floor, the master suite is most impressive with a vaulted ceiling and Velux windows. Bi-fold doors in-front of a Juliet Balcony allow in plenty of light and there is a series of fitted wardrobes and a well-appointed en-suite bathroom (with a jet-wash cubicle power shower).
 
The three remaining bedrooms include one other large double and these share the use of a family bathroom.

OUTSIDE AND OUTBUILDINGS
For buyers who work from home or who have a hobby, a useful garden office with a fast internet connection is attached to the garden room. This also has an outlook over the garden which can be enjoyed in the summer months, whilst a third log-burner makes it ideal for use all year round.

To the front of the property there are two shingled parking areas that allow easy access parking for three cars plus driveway access to a double garage at the back of the plot.
 
The rear garden is divided into three areas: A private patio with a pond that sits between the kitchen and the family room, a south-west facing lawn surrounded by some well-established beds and a decked path, and a second area of lawn at the rear of the plot which is an ideal play-space for children.

KIRBY CROSS
The house is located on a quiet, unadopted residential lane only minutes on foot from a pharmacy, two take-aways, a café, a One-Stop grocers, a Primary School and a Doctor’s surgery. Kirby Cross station is less than half a mile from the front door with links into Colchester and the City of London.
