About this listing
Situated on a plot of approximately 6.49 acres (STS) of beautifully established grounds and paddocks, this impressive detached country residence enjoys a wonderfully rural and private setting in Dedham. Surrounded by open countryside and mature trees, the property combines generous family accommodation with excellent equestrian facilities, including stabling, a hay store and extensive grazing land. Offering a rare balance of seclusion, lifestyle appeal and practical versatility, this is an exceptional home in one of North Essex's most desirable locations.
The property is approached via two five-bar gates leading to an extensive gravel driveway, providing ample parking and access to the detached garage and outbuildings.
Once inside, a substantial reception hall forms an elegant central point to the home, with ample space for dining and entertaining, this inviting area creates a wonderful first impression while providing a natural flow to the surrounding reception rooms and family living spaces.
The living room is a particularly impressive reception space, enjoying generous proportions and an abundance of natural light. A contemporary fireplace provides an attractive focal point, while bi-fold doors and windows frame views of the surrounding gardens and provide direct access to the outside. Double doors connect seamlessly to the conservatory, creating a versatile arrangement for both relaxation and entertaining.
The conservatory is a delightful addition to the property, offering panoramic views across the established grounds and creating an ideal space from which to enjoy the property's peaceful rural setting throughout the seasons.
A separate study provides an excellent environment for home working, benefiting from pleasant garden outlooks and direct access to the outside, ensuring a quiet and practical workspace away from the main family living areas.
A particular feature of the property is the impressive kitchen/family room, a substantial open-plan space that serves as a natural gathering point within the home. Fitted with an extensive range of cabinetry complemented by quality work surfaces and a central island, the room provides excellent space for cooking, dining and informal seating. Bi-fold doors open directly onto the terrace and gardens beyond, creating a seamless connection between the interior and the surrounding grounds.
Situated adjacent to the kitchen is a useful utility room, providing additional storage and practical laundry facilities, together with access to one of the two ground floor cloakrooms. A further cloakroom serves the remaining reception areas, completing the well-balanced and thoughtfully arranged ground floor accommodation.
The first-floor accommodation is arranged around a central landing - replete with vaulted ceiling and skylight windows - and provides five well-proportioned bedrooms, thoughtfully configured to offer both comfort and privacy for family members and guests alike.
The principal suite is particularly impressive, comprising a generous double bedroom with attractive views across the surrounding grounds, a dedicated dressing area and a luxurious en-suite bathroom.
Two further bedrooms benefit from the convenience of their own private en-suite shower rooms, each finished to a high standard and offering well-balanced accommodation suitable for guests or older family members.
The remaining two bedrooms are both generous doubles, enjoying pleasant outlooks over the gardens and surrounding countryside. These rooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.
Set within beautifully maintained grounds, the gardens and paddocks extend to approximately 6.49 acres (STS) and enjoy a delightful rural setting with far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. Immediately adjoining the house, a generous paved terrace provides an excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining, perfectly positioned to take advantage of the peaceful surroundings.
The formal gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and interspersed with mature specimen trees, established borders and seasonal planting, creating a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion. A productive kitchen garden with raised beds offers the opportunity for home-grown produce, whilst beyond the gardens lie enclosed paddocks, ideal for those with equestrian interests, small livestock or simply seeking additional recreational land.
The grounds enjoy a particularly attractive outlook, bordered by mature trees and open countryside, providing a rare combination of space, privacy and natural beauty. Together, the gardens and land create an outstanding setting for the house and offer a lifestyle opportunity seldom found within such an accessible location.Show more
