** POTENTIAL BUILDING PLOT STPP** Welcome to a truly unique opportunity, a stunning five-bedroom detached family home, believed to date back to the early 1900s, set within approximately 0.75 of an acre of a picturesque plot. Just a short stroll from the town centre and mainline train station, this home blends historical charm with modern amenities.

Upon entering through the front door and welcoming porch, the home's charm immediately captivates you. The entrance hall, adorned with exquisite parquet flooring, leads you to various delightful spaces. To the right, the snug with its cosy wood-burning stove offers a perfect retreat, while to the left, the expansive sitting room/dining room provides an inviting space to entertain or relax by the fire.

At the rear of the property, the open-plan family room seamlessly connects with the kitchen/diner, creating a harmonious space for family meals and social gatherings. The spacious utility area cleverly merges the main residence with an adjoining office, added in 2000. This versatile office space has immense potential functioning as a modern workspace or potentially transforming into an annex for multi-generational living.

Ascending the stunning staircase from the entrance hall, you are greeted by a spacious landing offering access to the five generously-sized bedrooms, each boasting charm and comfort. The main bedroom features an ensuite shower room, while the Jack and Jill family bathroom impresses with a freestanding roll-top bath.

The enchanting garden, encompassing roughly half an acre, predominantly laid to lawn, adorned with mature shrubs and trees that beautifully punctuate the space. The property abuts the tranquil River Stour, where the creation of an alfresco dining area would be idyllic. Additional features include a large storage area for garden equipment and a convenient garden room with double-door access. The property's double garage, with double sliding doors and a side entrance, alongside two other outbuildings, presents potential for future conversion to additional residential space, subject to planning permission.

Location is indeed key here, as the property offers the rare advantage of being a brief walk away from the town centre, ensuring easy access to local amenities, shops, and eateries while enjoying the serenity of a secluded haven.
