Delightful house on the river Deben.

Description

Located in the delightful village of Letheringham, Cherry Tree is a charming home set within grounds of approximately half an acre, featuring established gardens that gently slope down to the River Deben. Dating back to the early 1900s, Cherry Tree has been a much-loved family home for over 30 years. The property has been extended to provide well-proportioned, light-filled accommodation, with many rooms enjoying delightful views towards the river.

The accommodation includes a kitchen/breakfast room fitted with a range of cabinetry and a central island, a utility room, and a spacious double-aspect dining room. There is a delightful sitting room centred around a brick open fireplace with a wood-burning stove, which also benefits from two sets of French doors opening directly onto the garden. A light-filled garden room enjoys attractive views over the garden, while a cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

Stairs lead up to the first floor where there are four light filled bedrooms, a family bathroom, study and converted studio space. The principal bedroom benefits from an ensuite shower room.

Outside
Cherry Tree sits within approximately half an acre of delightful, private gardens which gently slope down to the riverbank. The gardens are a particular feature of the property, enjoying a peaceful setting and an attractive outlook.

A driveway leads to the rear of the house, where there is a double garage and ample parking for numerous vehicles. Also to the rear of the house is a large terrace, ideal for al fresco dining and outdoor entertaining. Steps lead down to a well-maintained lawn interspersed with mature trees and established shrubs, providing a high degree of privacy. The grounds continue down to the River Deben, which offers the opportunity to enjoy a tranquil boat outing.
