Recreation Road, Sible Hedingham, Halstead, Essex, CO9

A deceptively large and charming 3-bedroom detached home on a sought-after road with views of a local green space. It offers spacious living and a stunning south facing garden.

Situated on one of the area’s most sought-after roads, this charming three-bedroom detached family home has been lovingly maintained by its current owners. Offering generous living space, it is ideal for a variety of family lifestyles.

A side entrance leads into a welcoming hallway, providing access to the ground floor. To the left, the spacious main reception room is perfect for entertaining, featuring an attractive brick fireplace with a gas fire insert and a large bow window overlooking the green space opposite. Adjacent to this is the impressive, extended kitchen, thoughtfully designed with ample storage. It boasts two distinct areas: a main cooking space with a range-style cooker, integrated fridge freezer, dishwasher and double ceramic sink set beneath an archway. There is also a fully shelved pantry that houses a water softner that services the whole house plumbing. A cosy breakfast bar area with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The breakfast area flows into a formal dining room, ideal for hosting, which leads to a bright conservatory offering lovely views of the landscaped garden. A sunroom further enhances the home, providing a seamless connection between the garden and breakfast area—especially valuable in colder months. Completing the ground floor is a convenient shower room with a walk-in shower toilet and hand basin.

A private office with separate access provides an excellent working from home (WFH) space or a quiet study area.

Upstairs, three well-appointed bedrooms each enjoy picturesque views. The spacious primary bedroom features fitted wardrobes and a private shower area with a vanity unit and hand basin. The second double bedroom overlooks the south-facing garden with glimpses of the countryside beyond. The third bedroom, also a double, enjoys views of the park opposite and, in winter, a charming outlook towards Hedingham Castle. The modern family bathroom includes access to a fully boarded and lit loft for additional storage.

Set back from Recreational Road, the home benefits from a generous driveway offering ample off-street parking and an integral garage. A side walkway leads to the front door, while a gated entrance opens to the stunning, south-facing garden. Carefully designed and beautifully maintained, the garden is a tranquil retreat with multiple seating areas, allowing you to follow the sun throughout the day. A charming summer house provides a private space to unwind, while two storage sheds at the rear offer practicality.
An exciting addition is the approved planning permission for a significant extension over the existing single-storey rear elevation. This would enhance bedroom two and create a fourth bedroom, balancing the accommodation perfectly. Planning reference: 22/01258/HH (Braintree’s website).

This delightful home combines character, comfort, and future potential—an ideal choice for a growing family.
