Description

Discover a rare lifestyle opportunity with this spacious 4/5 bedroom chalet, perfectly nestled in an exceptionally picturesque riverside setting on the banks of the tranquil River Box. Surrounded by the natural beauty of Polstead village and the Box Valley, this home offers peaceful living with stunning views and the soothing sounds of the river as your daily backdrop.

Designed over two levels, the accommodation flows effortlessly to suit modern family life. The ground floor features a bright kitchen/breakfast room and a welcoming sitting room, both opening through bi-fold doors onto a large sun-drenched terrace—ideal for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. A cosy snug or fifth bedroom, family dining room, utility/boot room, two further bedrooms (one en-suite), and a separate bathroom complete this level. Upstairs, find a generous principal bedroom with en-suite and a versatile bedroom/office space.

Outside, the property is set back from the road behind a substantial gravel driveway offering ample parking and access to a double garage. The beautifully landscaped gardens, stretching to approximately a third of an acre, create a private haven filled with mature trees, flowering shrubs, and peaceful sun traps.

Located in the charming village of Polstead within the renowned Constable Country, this home is a short distance from Stoke by Nayland Golf and Country Club, offering two championship golf courses, a spa, and fine dining. The surrounding Stour Valley countryside, designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, invites endless exploration with scenic walks and rides.

Convenience is key with excellent road links to Ipswich, Colchester, and Sudbury, plus easy access to the A12 for commuters. Local amenities include village shops, pubs, private and state schools, and regular bus services to nearby towns. For city living and historic charm, Colchester—the oldest recorded town in Britain—is within easy reach, with London Liverpool Street accessible by direct train in under an hour.

This is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle choice where nature, luxury, and convenience combine to create a truly special place to live.
