Description

A Stylish 4-Bed Detached Family Home in a Prime Village Setting.

Beautifully renovated and extended, Cheriton offers spacious open-plan living, a stunning kitchen/dining room with bi-fold doors, and far-reaching countryside views. Energy-efficient upgrades include 22 solar panels, heat recovery system, and underfloor heating throughout. Features four double bedrooms (two en-suite), landscaped gardens, double garage, and a peaceful cul-de-sac location just 200m from Polstead village green.

Tucked away towards the end of a well-established cul-de-sac, Cheriton is a detached property originally constructed in the early 1970s. Since 2017, it has undergone an extensive transformation, both modernising the original design and adding a striking rear extension, completed in 2021, to create a stylish and highly energy-efficient home.

Property Overview
The comprehensive renovation has been finished to an exceptional standard, with a consistent contemporary design throughout. Recent enhancements include:
22 solar panels with battery storage
Heat recovery ventilation system
Underfloor heating to all rooms
Aluminium-framed double glazing
Cat 6 cabling
Triple-glazed, electrically operated Velux roof windows

Accommodation
The layout is cleverly arranged over split levels. The lower ground floor comprises the welcoming entrance hall, a cloakroom, and an integral double garage. Stairs rise to a central landing, framed by a full-height birch ply balustrade, which flows into the home’s main living spaces.
The showpiece kitchen/dining room occupies the recent extension and features crystal quartz worktops, a generous central island with induction hob, integrated microwave, double oven, and a full-height fridge/freezer. Bi-fold doors span the width of the rear, opening directly to the garden, while Velux windows above flood the space with natural light.

An open plan link leads to the main sitting room, where a large picture window frames far-reaching views towards Stoke-by-Nayland. This elevated outlook is also shared by the two front double bedrooms (bedrooms three and four), served by the family bathroom.

The principal suite and a further double bedroom, both overlooking the rear garden, each benefit from modern en-suite shower rooms. Completing the interior is a well-equipped utility/boot room with granite worktop, sink, and space for laundry appliances.

Outside
The property sits within grounds of just under 0.2 acres, set slightly above road level with a raised front lawn and driveway leading to the garage. The rear garden has been landscaped to offer a patio entertaining space, lawn, mature cherry tree, and colourful planting borders. A timber shed, complete with power and Cat 6 cabling, occupies one corner.

Location
Situated only 200 metres from Polstead’s attractive village green, Cheriton enjoys a peaceful yet well-connected position. The village offers a popular pub, active community hall, shop, post office, and the historic St Mary’s Church. Scenic footpaths wind through the surrounding countryside, with further amenities in nearby Stoke-by-Nayland, Nayland, and Hadleigh.
