Description
This is a truly exceptional home combining luxury modern living with countryside privacy, riverside lifestyle, premium technology, extensive future-proofing, and outstanding craftsmanship throughout.
The level of detail, hidden infrastructure, bespoke finishes, entertainment integration, and quality of materials used during renovation make this property exceptionally rare within the market.
Tucked away within an exclusive cul-de-sac setting, this deceptively spacious detached residence offers an exceptional blend of luxury living, riverside tranquillity and expansive grounds extending to approximately 2.7 acres, meandering alongside the River Stour.
At first glance, the property appears modest from the front, however the rear elevation reveals a striking home of impressive proportions, thoughtfully remodelled and comprehensively renovated to an exceptional standard by the current owner.Backing directly onto the river bank with additional land extending beyond the formal garden and around the river bend, this is a home that offers a lifestyle rarely found within the local market. The heart of the home is an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space measuring in excess of 30ft, designed with both entertaining and day-to-day family living in mind. A beautifully appointed German kitchen is complemented by quartz worktops, premium integrated appliances, a feature island and extensive bifold doors opening onto an elevated decked terrace, perfectly framing the outlook over the garden and surrounding grounds. A feature log burner and underfloor heating throughout the ground floor create warmth and atmosphere year-round. The raised decking terrace enjoys an elevated vantage point over the main lawned garden, with steps descending to the expansive grounds beyond. A gate leads through to additional riverside land, creating an idyllic setting for those seeking space, wildlife, fishing interests or simply an escape into nature. The vendor has mentioned previous sightings of kingfishers, herons, swans and deer which further enhance the setting.
Accommodation is both versatile and well-balanced. The ground floor offers a welcoming entrance hall, a generous third bedroom, contemporary shower room, integral garage access and the stunning open-plan living area. Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite is a particular highlight, measuring over 25ft and benefitting from bifold doors opening onto a private balcony with far-reaching views across the garden, river and countryside beyond. The suite is complemented by a walk-in wardrobe and luxurious en-suite bathroom. A further generous double bedroom and separate study/home office complete the first floor.
The property underwent an extensive back-to-brick renovation approximately nine years ago, with major elements including electrics, plumbing, heating, roofing, insulation, glazing and finishes all replaced or upgraded to an exceptional standard, creating a home that blends premium specification with practical future-proofing.
Externally, the property benefits from driveway parking, an integral garage and the added advantage of potential vehicular access into the rear garden via a gated entrance. The grounds themselves provide an extraordinary sense of space with the river becoming an ever-changing backdrop to daily life.
