THE PROPERTY
Meadow View is a charming, detached country house believed to date back to the 17th/early 18th century as a multiple dwelling, with rendered elevations beneath a plain and pantile roof with many character features retained, such as the exposed timbers and exposed brick and period fireplaces that add significantly to the appeal of this excellent property. This comfortable home has been sympathetically renovated and significantly improved by the current owners with the majority of the high specification work, carried out around 9 years ago. The property, which is un-listed, now benefits from modern double-glazed windows and French doors, an efficient oil-fired central heating system, new wiring throughout and around 2-3 years ago the property was extended to accommodate the extra ground floor rooms that could, if required, be used as an associated annexe, but that is currently used as a home office/further reception room.

The beautifully presented accommodation, in brief, comprises an excellent entrance lobby with bench storage unit and cloaks hanging space, opening to the stylish utility/boot room space (which could be used as the annexe kitchen and entrance, which is fitted with a range of base units with hardwood worksurface, ceramic sink, space for a washer/dryer and a glazed door opening to the rear terrace. Doors leading off this link to the home office/annexe room and the main sitting room. The sitting room has an oriel bay window to the front and French doors to the rear, an exposed brick chimney breast and hearth, with inset log burning stove fire, stairs to the first floor, another possible front door, exposed ceiling timbers and engineered oak plank flooring runs through to the semi-open plan dining room, with an open studwork dividing wall. The dining room also benefits from an exposed brick chimney breast, with former double fire, one of which is still useable as a working open fire. There is a latch door opening through to the drawing room and another doorway to the spacious kitchen breakfast room to the rear. The drawing room features an oriel bay window and door to the front, a fireplace with an inset log burning stove and there is a door through to the kitchen. The kitchen/breakfast room is well presented with a good quality framed kitchen with base and eye level units, hardwood worksurfaces, ceramic double bowl sink, Neff electric induction hob with extractor fan above and built-in double oven and space and plumbing for a dishwasher and washing machine. A corner cupboard houses the pressurised hot water cylinder and there is an island unit with breakfast bar as well as space for a breakfast table and chairs and opens via French doors to the rear terrace. The vaulted annexe/reception room/home office to the other side of the lobby affords windows to the front, French doors to the rear and has been specifically designed so it can provide a separate bedroom off which the shower room leads and living room space.

On the first floor, with vaulted ceilings there are four double bedrooms with the main bedroom benefiting from a stylish en-suite shower room and there is also a family bathroom which has both a panel enclosed bath and separate shower cubicle.

OUTSIDE
The gardens and grounds are a particular feature of Meadow View, with well-tended gardens to the front and rear of the property, two driveways (one to either end) affording good parking and leading to the garden at one end and the detached garage at the other end. The recently built garage is superbly presented, both inside and outside and benefits from double doors for a car to the front and also an oversized single door to the front for trailer/ride on mower access – double doors to the side also afford easy access to the gardens and meadow for machinery. There is an excellent log store and working area to the side of the garage and gravelled and stone paved pathways lead around to the open rear garden. The predominantly lawned rear garden has shrub and flower borders to either side, a cluster of fruit trees and there is a chicken run adjacent to the garden shed. Beyond the garden and currently unfenced for aesthetic benefit, the meadow, which has been cultivated and seeded with a horse mix grass ley, extends to around 2 acres (sts) of grazing land with hedged and tree belt margins and a vehicular access gate giving access to the farm track and public footpath at the side, for separate access back to the lane.

LOCATION
Belchamp Otten is a small traditional hamlet sitting on the Suffolk/Essex borders, still benefiting from a pub in the village and also benefiting from another pub and a well-regarded primary school in the close neighbouring village of Belchamp St Paul. Good everyday local facilities are available in the nearby market towns of Clare and Sudbury, with more comprehensive facilities being available in Cambridge and Bury St Edmunds, both of which offer schooling in the private and public sectors, extensive shopping facilities and a good range of leisure facilities including health clubs, swimming pools and golf clubs. For the rail commuter there is good access to the mainline station at Audley End or the link line station at Sudbury, which joins the mainline at Marks Tey and which offers a fast and regular service to London taking approximately 80 minutes. There is also good access to Stansted Airport and the A11 (M11) and the A14.

DIRECTIONS
From the centre of Belchamp St Paul, outside the thatched Half Moon Pub with the green on your left, leave the village along Vicarage Road with the primary school on your right and turn right into Otten Road, signposted Belchamp Otten. Proceed for around 0.8 miles through the countryside to the sharp left-hand bend, off which is the access to The Red Lion pub to the right and after which you will immediately see the property with the righthand drive leading to the double garage and parking.
