Description

Garden Cottage is a charming Victorian home that has evolved gracefully over time, extended and improved to create generous, versatile living space of real character. Original fireplaces and exposed beams blend seamlessly with later additions, while the layout now suits modern family life exceptionally well.

Accommodation
The ground floor opens into a bright reception hall, leading to a utility room, cloakroom and a stunning kitchen/breakfast/dining room. Just off the kitchen is a pretty snug/play room, the latter featuring French doors opening directly to the terrace and gardens. A separate drawing room provides further reception space.

Upstairs, the house offers five well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal suite with dressing room, and a guest bedroom with its own en suite. A large landing with a lantern roof light brings natural daylight into the centre of the home, and there is a generous family bathroom.

Gardens, Grounds & Approach
The property is approached via a long driveway, setting the house well back from the lane and creating a wonderful sense of privacy from the moment you arrive. The house sits within approximately 0.63 acres of mature, well-kept gardens, with wide lawns and beautifully established planting. Both the garden and the principal rooms enjoy far-reaching views over open countryside, with immediate access to a network of footpaths and walking routes directly from the driveway.

A broad terrace provides an excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining. The driveway offers ample parking, and the outbuildings have been thoughtfully converted to provide a home office, store and garage.

Planning permission remains in place to extend the outbuilding further and create a self-contained one-bedroom annexe with two garages, offering superb potential for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or a premium home office setup.

Local Area
Assington is a highly regarded village on the edge of the Stour Valley and Dedham Vale AONB, known for its expansive countryside and the landscapes that inspired John Constable. The property is a short walk from The Assington Barn, with its café, restaurant, local produce and garden centre. Sudbury (approx. 7 miles) and Colchester (approx. 9 miles) provide a wide range of shops, restaurants, leisure facilities and schools, as well as rail services to London Liverpool Street in about 45 minutes.

There are excellent walking routes, charming pubs, golf and tennis clubs, and a choice of well-regarded schools, including Little Garth. Despite its peaceful setting, the location offers convenient access to the A12, Chelmsford, Ipswich and the wider region.
