Occupying an attractive tucked-away position on highly regarded Edies Lane, one of Leavenheath's most sought after addresses, Acorns is an exceptional four bedroom, two en-suite detached chalet style residence, offering beautifully presented and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors. Comprehensively enhanced and improved during the current owners' recent tenure, the property successfully combines contemporary styling with generous family living spaces, high quality finishes and mature private gardens.

A uPVC panel glazed entrance door opens into a welcoming reception hall, finished with matte tiled flooring and featuring an impressive oak staircase with contemporary glass balustrading rising to the first floor. The principal reception room is a superb triple aspect sitting room, centred around an attractive brick fireplace with inset wood burning stove, while uPVC-framed double doors provide a direct connection to the gardens. Oak internal doors, excellent natural light and generous proportions combine to create an inviting and highly practical family living space.

The sitting room flows seamlessly into a substantial dining room with an additional seating area, enjoying a dual aspect via bi-folding doors opening onto the side terrace and further casement windows to the front elevation. This arrangement provides an excellent space for formal entertaining, day to day family dining and relaxed living, with a strong connection to the external terraces and garden.

The open plan kitchen/breakfast room is comprehensively fitted with an extensive range of contemporary gloss-fronted units, complemented by granite work surfaces and a central island. A Stoves range cooker provides an attractive focal point, while casement windows to the side and rear elevations overlook the gardens. The adjoining utility room is equally well appointed, incorporating further fitted units, granite work surfaces, matte tiled flooring, a panel glazed external door and an oak personnel door leading directly into the garage.

The ground floor accommodation is further enhanced by a well appointed bedroom with adjacent en-suite shower room, providing excellent flexibility for guests, multi generational living or those seeking ground floor bedroom accommodation. A cloakroom with extensive fitted storage and sensor lighting completes the ground floor.

Arranged via a spacious first-floor landing, thoughtfully designed to incorporate a study area, are three further double bedrooms. The principal bedroom suite is particularly impressive, benefitting from extensive fitted wardrobes and a high specification en-suite shower room, while a striking bank of glazing provides attractive south facing views across the property's frontage and surrounding setting. The remaining bedrooms are well proportioned and served by a family bathroom, creating a balanced and practical layout ideally suited to modern family life.

Outside, the property is approached via a generous private driveway providing ample off-road parking and access to the garage. The mature gardens extend principally to the front and side, affording a high degree of privacy and seclusion. A substantial paved terrace provides an excellent entertaining area, while further highlights include a beautifully maintained koi carp pond and an attractive summer house, all combining to create a tranquil and well-screened external environment befitting the quality of the accommodation within.
