The Street, Hessett

A lovely detached Victorian house providing delightful accommodation, with stunning gardens backing onto farmland.

Understood to have been built in the mid-19th century and extended in more recent years, this superb detached Victorian house provides a surprising level of much improved and well-presented accommodation complemented by large landscaped gardens with studio/home office, whilst enjoying a central setting in the heart of the sought after village of Hessett.

Benefitting from features including oak flooring, brick fireplaces with gas stoves, ledge and brace internal doors and also offering modern facilities such as gas fired radiator central heating (with a recently installed boiler) and solar panels (boasting an excellent Tariff rate), the accommodation currently in brief comprises a spacious half vaulted entrance porch/boot room with a range of useful fitted cupboards and door to a shower/cloakroom. The dining room is an ideal reception for entertaining flowing through to the kitchen and includes a feature fireplace and stairs off to the first floor. The kitchen is fitted with a traditional range of units and includes an electric AGA range with a gas cooker alongside and door leading to the separate utility room leading through to the walk-in pantry. Located off the kitchen is the splendid garden room being mostly glazed and offering delightful views across the gardens. From the dining room leads through to the comfortable sitting room with feature fireplace and opening to the large study/home office.

On the first floor is a landing with fitted cupboards and leading to the three comfortable bedrooms. The principal dual aspect bedroom boasts a large en-suite bathroom with bath and separate shower and the remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, completing the accommodation.

Outside - The house is approached along a shingle driveway providing ample vehicle parking and turning space and leading to the traditional oak framed cartlodge with garage/workshop and carport. Gated side access leads to the beautiful rear gardens which are a credit to the current owners and a particular feature of the house. The gardens are mostly laid to lawn and stocked with an array of flowering plants, shrubs, herbaceous plants and mature trees. The gardens are bordered and interspersed by well-planned and well-stocked flower beds, a variety of fruit trees and a feature pond.
