Description

A spacious four-bedroom detached family home set within approx. 1.5 acres (STS), with outstanding countryside views, extensive garaging, and planning permission granted for a further dwelling. Situated in the picturesque village of Acton, just a few miles from Sudbury.

Set behind double gates and approached via a generous block-paved driveway, this impressive home offers the perfect balance of rural seclusion and modern practicality. With sweeping lawns, mature trees and a rear paddock, the property makes an ideal choice for families seeking space, privacy, and an outdoor lifestyle.

The ground floor offers a welcoming entrance porch leading into a bright hallway. The 25ft dual-aspect lounge is a standout feature, enjoying a bay window to the front, French doors to the garden at the rear, and an attractive open fireplace — creating a warm, sociable space for everyday living. A separate dining room provides an ideal setting for family meals or entertaining, while the well-planned kitchen offers excellent storage and scope to modernise or reconfigure. A cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms offer comfortable accommodation for families of all sizes. The two largest bedrooms benefit from built-in wardrobes, and the family bathroom includes a separate bath and shower.

Outside, the property truly excels. The extensive plot begins with a large patio terrace overlooking the lawned garden, opening into a substantial paddock area. With planning permission already granted for an additional detached dwelling (ref: DC/24/05476), the home presents a rare opportunity for multi-generational living, investment, or those wishing to create a bespoke second residence (STP).

A superb range of outbuildings includes a detached double garage, a triple cart-lodge, and a further single cart-lodge, all with power and lighting — perfect for car collectors, home businesses, hobbies or workshop use.

A rare opportunity to secure a sizable family home on an exceptional plot, with immediate development potential and a beautifully peaceful village setting. Early viewing is strongly encouraged.

The rear garden begins with a spacious patio terrace ideal for outdoor seating and entertaining, followed by an extensive lawn framed by mature trees and established shrubs. Beyond this lies the paddock, also laid mainly to lawn, offering both excellent privacy and attractive open views. An oil tank is situated discreetly within the grounds.

The property benefits from current planning permission for an additional detached dwelling (Planning Ref: DC/24/05476). The vendor also believes that the paddock may offer further development potential, subject to the necessary planning consents.

About Michaels Property Consultants Ltd, Halstead

8 Bridge Street, Halstead, CO9 1HT
Industry affiliations:

At Michaels Property Consultants we pride ourselves in being different. We don't practice as stereotypical estate agents: talking at people and hard selling. We listen to our clients. Every customer is different, they have their own needs and timescales and we are dedicated to putting these first. With over 30 years combined experience in property, we have developed extensive knowledge of the local area and we are able to give our customers genuine, professional advice at all times, whether they're buying or selling. We provide advice on what people really want to know, whether it be regarding schools, local amenities or even where to eat. We also offer a private service to investment buyers, assisting them in making the best decisions in building their portfolios.

Michaels understand that a person's home is more than likely to be their biggest financial asset, so we use the highest quality of marketing to ensure that we achieve the best price possible. We strive to provide people with a customer service beyond their expectations and we are so confident in delivering this that if you are marketing your home with us and not satisfied, we ask for just 14 days written notice at any given time.

Michael Simpson's roots are firmly in Halstead, since it was his hometown from a very young age and he went to both primary and secondary school here. Having started his career in property in Braintree at the age of 16 he then went on 10 years later to open Michaels' first branch in Colchester in 2014 with his friend and business partner Michael Rayner.

Since then, Michaels have opened two further successful branches - One in the affluent sailing town of Wivenhoe, and a third in Braintree where he started his career. Now having built up a large amount of success with property sales in the town from our Braintree office, we are thrilled to announce that we are opening our fourth office here under the leadership of Local Director Aaron Wilcock, and we cannot wait to bring the same level of exceptional property marketing and customer service to the people in Halstead and the surrounding villages, both sellers and buyers alike.

We will also be looking to give as much back to the local community as we physically can especially as it is very close to Michael's heart, for example we have recently agreed a fantastic sponsorship with Halstead Town Football Club - Who have named the main stand 'The Michaels Stand'.
