Laurel Close, Haverhill

INDIVIDUALLY DESIGNED FAMILY HOME IN SOUGHT-AFTER PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT

Set within one of the town’s most exclusive residential areas, this substantial detached home offers a rare opportunity to acquire a truly individual property with exceptional space and future potential.

The property forms part of a unique mid-to-late 1980s development of self-build plots, where each home was designed and constructed by its original owners. As such, the area enjoys a quiet, established feel with a variety of distinctive homes. This particular residence has been occupied by the same owners since its creation, having been carefully planned to accommodate modern family living with flexibility, flow, and generous proportions throughout.

Inside, the layout offers five bedrooms (or four plus study), three reception areas, and two bathrooms — ideal for growing families, multi-generational households or those working from home. A standout feature is the large kitchen/dining room, forming the sociable heart of the home, while many rooms are double aspect, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. The oversized garage, block-paved driveway, and mature wraparound gardens further enhance the appeal.

While the property would now benefit from updating in certain areas, it offers an ideal blank canvas for buyers looking to put their own stamp on a truly individual home. The footprint, position, and original design lend themselves perfectly to enhancement, personalisation, or even layout alteration if desired.

Rarely available and full of potential, this is a fantastic opportunity to secure a forever home in a peaceful, sought-after setting of unique homes.
