Foxlease: A Harmonious Blend of Countryside Charm and Modern Living in the Heart of Bradfield Village, North Essex.

Nestled in the heart of Bradfield village just five minutes from the historic town of Manningtree, a place where community spirit and the beauty of the English countryside converge, sits Foxlease, a distinguished four to five-bedroom detached home that promises more than just living space. This home, with its impressive frontage, is discreetly positioned within an arc-shaped close, shared with three other homes of similar design, offering both privacy and a sense of belonging.

As you step through the entrance door of Foxlease, you're greeted by an expansive hallway, where oak flooring leads you past the ground floor cloakroom and into the heart of the home. The living room, a generous triple-aspect space, is centred around a marble-surrounded fireplace, promising your family warmth and a distinct ambiance.

This versatile area, complete with a biofuel fire, offers views and access to the garden, seamlessly blending indoor comfort with the beauty of the outdoors.

The open plan kitchen and breakfast room, adjacent to the dining area, is a testament to modern living. Light grey shaker-style cabinets and a central island provide not only ample storage but also a gathering spot for family and friends. The chef of the house will delight in the space designed for a range oven, while the breakfast bar invites casual dining and conversation. The utility room, a practical extension of the kitchen, ensures that the necessities of daily life are well accommodated.

Whether envisaged as a home office, guest suite, or a space for multigenerational living, it includes a kitchenette, exclusive shower room, and private garden access, offering autonomy within the comfort of the home.

The property's exterior spaces are as thoughtfully designed as its interior. The front garden, with its expansive lawn and hedgerows, sets the stage for Foxlease's curb appeal with a safe haven for your children or grandchildren to stretch their legs until their hearts content. The rear garden, a west-facing haven, offers a pergola and patio for alfresco dining or quiet reflection, amidst a landscape that captures the essence of the surrounding countryside.
