Description
Backing directly onto the River Colne, the property enjoys private access to the river from the bottom of the garden—a truly tranquil setting with an exceptional outlook, rarely found in the town.
Arranged over three floors, the home offers generous and flexible living space finished to a superb standard throughout. The ground floor opens with a bright and welcoming entrance hall, cloakroom/WC, a spacious lounge with French doors leading out to the secluded rear garden, and a stunning open-plan kitchen/diner. The kitchen is fitted with high-spec Siemens appliances, including an oven, microwave oven, wine cooler, fridge freezer and dishwasher. A water softener has also been installed for added comfort.
On the first floor, the impressive principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and a sleek en suite shower room with digital controls. Two further bedrooms and a contemporary family bathroom complete this level.
The second floor provides two more well-sized bedrooms, an additional bathroom, and elevated views across the surrounding area—offering a peaceful retreat or flexible space for home working.
Outside, the rear garden is a real highlight—thoughtfully landscaped with a raised decked terrace, patio area, and a generous lawn bordered by mature flowers and shrubs. It’s a space perfect for relaxing or entertaining while enjoying the peaceful riverside setting.
To the front, a private courtyard serves the development, and the property benefits from a double garage and further off-road parking beside it.
Bays Drive is a quiet, private development just 150 yards from Halstead town centre. Everything you need is within a short walk, including shops, schools, and scenic walks along the Boxmill paths and through the riverside trails.
It’s rare to find a purpose-built five-bedroom home of this quality in such a prime location—viewing is highly recommended.
