Built in the 1930's - at a time of genteel elegance - this superb country home benefits from a plot of approximately one third of an acre (sts) and offers a tremendous opportunity to acquire a slice of village life in glorious Constable Country.
Located in the very heart of Dedham, with views to the front and rear, this charming village home was built towards the end of the art deco period, when quality and attention to detail were paramount.
Set back from the road, behind established hedgerow, a large gravel driveway leads to the garage and entrance door and provides exceptionally good off-road parking for several vehicles.
The double-fronted facade frames a solid wood entrance door - possibly original - which delivers the visitor into a delightfully welcoming entrance hall. The subtle design of the entrance door being echoed throughout the home, albeit on internal doors and the stair balustrade.
Rich, beautifully finished solid oak handrails draw up the stairs to three beautifully presented bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor.
On the ground floor, the sitting room, with its dual aspect, is a charming retreat in which to entertain guests. A more formal room than its reception counterpart - the light in here creates a subtle ambience for the homeowners and their guests to enjoy.
The second reception room similarly benefits from a dual aspect and with a wood-burner firmly ensconced into the original fireplace, what better place for the family to gather during the cooler months - and for those who enjoy formal dining, this room would make an excellent dining room.
Towards the rear of the property, the interconnected kitchen, dining and garden rooms offer family space, where all generations can interact whilst enjoying a close connection to the outside, through the bi-fold doors.
The kitchen itself is presented in country style - enhanced by painted cabinetry and a farmhouse sink - whilst benefitting from a plethora of modern-day appliances. The adjacent utility room, with its own access to the garden, ensures all laundry and dishwashing duties are kept out of the way of the main house.
Completing the accommodation on the ground floor is a useful cloakroom and a light, airy guest bedroom, which benefits from its own ensuite facilities.
The gardens wrap round the front, side and rear and offer beautiful field views beyond the boundary, however they are equally glorious within the boundary. An extensive, paved terrace abuts the house and offers space for furniture for both relaxation and entertaining, during the warmer months. From this vantage point the viewer can take in the charm of the exquisite planting and the vast Suffolk / Essex sky.<br /><br />
