Lower Street, Stutton

** SOLD PRIOR TO LAUNCH **
Delight in the exceptional opportunity that awaits you with this unique and special four-bedroom abode, nestled in the heart of Stutton's esteemed locale.

Set in a private, secluded half-acre plot (STS), enveloped by verdant, mature trees, this four-bedroom detached residence offers tranquility and an unrivaled sense of privacy.

Its storied past dates back to the 16th century, originating as a timber-framed cottage in Stansted, Essex. The home was carefully dismantled and reassembled in Stutton during the 1960s, paving the way for Stansted's transformation into a major airport. Despite its modern reconstruction, echoes of its rich history linger in the property's structure, with some elements still harking back to the 16th century.

The ground floor welcomes with an entrance hallway leading to a formal dining room, a living room replete with exposed timbers and a working log burner, and a kitchen breakfast room featuring a classic AGA and pantry. A utility room of generous proportions completes the downstairs conveniences.

Ascend to the first floor, and you'll discover four well-appointed bedrooms, three being spacious doubles, with the principal bedroom boasting a walk-in wardrobe area and an en-suite shower room, complemented by a family bathroom. The second-floor loft room presents a versatile space, ideal as a playroom or home office.

Externally, the property impresses with a sizeable detached barn offering garage facilities and extra storage. The driveway accommodates numerous vehicles with ease, while the half-acre plot (STS) beckons with potential for a vegetable patch and various garden arrangements, including a flat rear garden, once graced by a grass tennis court.
