Hook End Lane, Hook End, CM15

Chelsworth is a beautifully presented three bedroom detached bungalow in the highly regarded location of Hook End, offered to the market with no onward chain. Set well back from the lane behind a lawned frontage and a generous gravel driveway, the property offers around 1,393 sq ft of immaculate single storey living, including a substantial detached outbuilding, and has been refreshed throughout to a lovely standard.

A bright and welcoming entrance hall with engineered oak flooring sets the tone, running through to the heart of the home, a superb lounge/dining room of notable proportions. Natural light pours in from a roof lantern and French doors opening onto the garden, all dressed with plantation shutters, while a wood burning stove creates a warm and inviting focal point for the colder months. The space works equally well for relaxed family evenings and for entertaining, and the quality of the finish is evident throughout. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a sleek range of high gloss white units, complemented by a contrasting glass splashback and sparkling worktops. It includes an integrated hob, space for freestanding appliances and a breakfast bar, with a door giving convenient access to the side of the property.

The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged, with all three bedrooms accessed from the hallway. The principal bedroom is a calm and generous retreat, benefiting from mirrored sliding wardrobes and a stylish en-suite shower room finished in travertine tiling with a walk in shower and built in seating. The two further bedrooms are well proportioned, one also with fitted mirrored wardrobes, and all enjoy the same crisp decor and plantation shutters. A smart family bathroom serves the home, with a P shaped shower bath, heated towel rail and vanity unit, and two useful storage cupboards off the hall complete the interior.

Outside, the rear garden offers a wonderful sense of privacy, mainly laid to lawn and framed by mature trees and hedging that bring colour through the seasons. A large sandstone style terrace sits directly off the lounge, ideal for outdoor dining and summer entertaining, with raised planters, a timber shed to the rear and gated side access. The detached garage/outbuilding is a real asset, offering excellent flexibility for parking, storage, a workshop or hobby space. To the front, the sweeping driveway provides ample off street parking for several vehicles.
