Marriotts Walk, Stowmarket, Suffolk, IP14

Wonderful example of an imposing Grade II Listed Georgian/Victorian family home which has been thoughtfully restored so as to offer all the benefits of modern living but with a wealth of original character as well as bright airy and spacious rooms, plus garaging, off street parking and an enclosed garden, all within a Town Centre location.

The Beeches
Substantial semi detached family home, the original part of which dates back to Georgian era, with great care and thought having gone into the property’s more recent modernisation and renovation, so as to retain the original character as well as high ceilings and bright airy rooms associated with grand properties such as this, but with all the benefits associated with modern living.

From the stripped and polished floorboarded entrance lobby, there are glazed double doors which open out into the main reception hall, from which there are stairs rising to first floor as well as down to the cellar, with further doorways leading to principal rooms, plus the walk-in boot room/cloak cupboard and cloakroom comprising low flush WC, wash hand basin and tiled flooring. The drawing room/sitting room is of very impressive proportions, which along with most of the rooms, offers impressive ceiling heights as well as double aspect windows, plus fireplace with inset woodburner. From the hall there is a doorway leading into the dining room which features a woodburner, with the dining room opening to the kitchen/breakfast room and also to the family room which connects these three areas and runs across the back of the house and with the added feature of bi-folding doors opening out on to the very private patio area and rear garden. The kitchen/breakfast room is a particularly attractive aspect of this property, in part due to the exceptional quality of the units, as well as central island unit with white onyx work surfaces, plus inset sink unit with chrome mixer taps and boiling hot water tap. Other integrated appliances include two Siemens ovens including a microwave oven, plus Siemens induction hob, with remote control Neff extractor over. Other integrated appliances include Siemens coffee machine, fridge and integral dishwasher plus a wine chiller and space for an American style fridge/freezer to be plumbed in. Hidden from view there is also the gas fired boiler unit which was fitted within the last 2 years (approx.)

At first floor level there are three bedrooms, all of which are generously sized, plus a family bathroom and separate shower room. Two of the bedrooms and the landing area have stripped floors, whilst the main bedroom on this level also benefits from a range of built-in wardrobes, as well as an en suite shower room, comprising double width shower cubicle, low flush wc and pedestal wash handbasin. The family bathroom comprises modern freestanding bath, set on a raised area with wc and large ceramic vanity sink unit with mixer taps. Whilst the separate shower room benefits from a shower cubicle, low flush W.C., tiled floor plumbing for washing machine and exposed red brickwork to one wall.

At second floor there is an attractive landing area arranged around a centrally set staircase leading off from here there is a shower room and three further bedrooms, again all of an impressive size, with the principal featuring an inset fireplace with exposed brickwork, plus a dressing room with a range of built-in and fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room, comprising double width shower cubicle, wash handbasin and low flush wc., with the remaining bedrooms sharing use of a shower room with double width shower cubicle, wash hand basin and low flush W.C. It is worth noting that the dressing room could quite easily be made into a seventh bedroom if so needed.

Outside
The driveway which is located to the side of the property also leads to The main entrance and provides parking spaces for at least three cars. Beyond this there is also a tandem garage which has been converted into a workroom/storage room and as such benefits from power and light. From the end of the garage there is gated access which in turn leads into the rear garden. Immediately to the rear of the property there is a slate paved patio area which leads into the family room. Beyond the paved patio area there is raised brick flowerbeds with steps leading up to the garden area, which is mainly laid to lawn. Within the garden there can also be found a greenhouse/storage unit as well as a well hidden area which at present provides a perfect position for a hot tub.
