4 bed detached house under offer in Langham

Alefounders Barn is approached via a private gated entrance into a sweeping driveway with landscaping either side and access through to the inner courtyard and double garaging and the beautiful thatched Barn. The property is accessed via double doors into an entrance porch (there is also access via the utility room) – the porch offers seating and a glazed door into the central hallway with oak flooring and exposed timbers. The main reception room also has an exposed ceiling beam with French doors and a feature fireplace with woodburning stove. There is a further reception room, currently used as a playroom, offering access into the study and an adjacent good sized cloakroom. The bespoke kitchen/breakfast/family room is a bright open plan room with French doors – the kitchen features an electric 4-oven Aga, built-in appliances, granite worktops and central island/breakfast bar. Adjacent is an inner hallway and useful storeroom. Across the inner hallway is a large utility/boot room with storage and access out to the courtyard. To the first floor the principal bedroom suite has an en-suite shower room and separate walk-in dressing room. There are three further bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom (bedrooms one and two feature air conditioning). Within the courtyard is the double garaging within the black weatherboarded and red brick ancillary building, formerly a stable, which also offers a store room, store for the oil tank and a large machinery store/workshop. The detached Barn offers black weatherboarded elevations under a well maintained thatched roof and is currently used as a games room with exposed timbers, timber floors and heating and cooling provided via an air source heat pump – this would make an ideal space to work from home or potential Annex accommodation. The property offers mains drainage and oil central heating. The plot is beautifully landscaped with mature trees and shrubs, well-tended lawns with a Summerhouse (electric connected) within the garden area and a sun terrace. A separate gate leads into the separated field/paddock which is fenced and has part of a red brick boundary wall featured and features some trees. There are open views across countryside to the rear. Located within easy access to the A12 as well as nearby Colchester which has all the conveniences of a large town, including direct mainline train links to London and other major cities. The joys of the Colne Valley, Constable Country and the rural landscapes of the Suffolk border countryside are close by. (Ref: COS220106)
