STUNNING EXTENDED BUNGALOW WITH LANDSCAPED GARDENS IN PEACEFUL CUL-DE-SAC

Set within a quiet cul-de-sac in the sought-after village of Sturmer, this beautifully renovated and substantially extended bungalow offers stylish, versatile living with a true sense of space and light. The heart of the home is a spectacular vaulted kitchen/family room with quartz-topped island and twin bi-fold doors opening onto a landscaped rear garden, perfect for entertaining and modern family life.

The property provides three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a superb principal suite with contemporary shower room, a separate sitting room with cast-iron wood burner, and a practical utility room with internal access to the tandem garage. Outside, the home enjoys a beautifully landscaped garden with raised deck, neat lawn and secure gated parking leading to a large hardstanding — ideal for a future home office or workshop — together with a smart block-paved and shingle driveway at the front.

Sturmer - Sturmer is a charming and historic Essex village set just 2 miles from Haverhill and close to the Suffolk border. Steeped in history and mentioned in the Domesday Book, the village is home to the beautiful Saxon-era St Mary’s Church and the elegant Sturmer Hall Hotel & Estate.

Despite its peaceful, rural feel, Sturmer offers useful local amenities including a traditional pub, popular garden centre and scenic countryside walks — including the former Stour Valley railway line, now a picturesque amenity walk for residents to enjoy. Excellent everyday facilities, supermarkets and schools can be found nearby in Haverhill, while the vibrant market towns of Saffron Walden (14 miles) and Bury St Edmunds (19 miles) are both within easy reach. For commuters and travellers, Stansted Airport is about 22 miles away, and Braintree is around 24 miles for further shopping and rail links into London.

With its blend of tranquillity, heritage and convenience, Sturmer is an ideal spot for those wanting a village lifestyle with great connections.
