Description
Guide Price £535,000 to £550,000. Situated in the historically significant village of Castle Hedingham, an individually designed bungalow, located along a delightful and peaceful lane, offering superb living space which belies its modest exterior appearance. The property features a unique interior incorporating a fabulous sitting room, and infinitely flexible accommodation. The current owner has carried out numerous improvements during his tenure, and the property was immaculately presented at the time of our inspection.
Located within a short stroll of the village centre, Doulton Lodge is a distinctive and exclusive home which beautifully combines the virtues of convenience, adaptability and tranquillity.
The entrance porch provides access to a recently refitted cloakroom, and thence doorways through to the sitting room and dining room. The dining room is a particularly characterful room overlooking the garden, and the sitting room with the high ceilings and large red brick chimney with log burner provides a cosy yet very well proportioned room. The sitting room is the hub of the home, with the main living spaces all radiating from here, access to the rear garden patio, as well as the first-floor bedroom via the open wooden staircase.
The unique first floor room which could be a lovely study features double aspect windows including facing south west, allowing light to flood in for most of the day.
From the sitting room a doorway leads to a hallway, which in turn provides access to three potential bedrooms, including the principal bedroom with a delightful, recently re-fitted en-suite and very an impressive contemporary wet room.
A sizable dual aspect kitchen is located adjacent to the dining room. It has been cleverly designed to maximise the amount of work space and features dual aspect windows. From the kitchen a hallway leads to two further rooms, one of which was the former garage. These rooms could be permanent bedrooms, guest bedrooms, or work rooms.
The block paved driveway could provide parking for up to four cars. The rear garden is retained by an ancient wall along the northern boundary and wooden fencing along the other, making the garden secure for children or animals. The garden features a stretch of lawn and two patio seating areas, the principal area being located behind the sitting room, embellished with flower borders. This outdoor space is private, offers a great social space for gatherings, and incorporates a brick-built bar and barbecue.
Agents notes:
There is an easement for access over the private lane to the property.
