4 Bedroom Detached House

£325,000 to £350,000 Guide Price

Nestled in the heart of the much sought after village of Brantham, this is a deceptively spacious and thoughtfully extended three/four bedroom semi detached home offering flexible family living with wonderful potential.

Approached via a generous driveway providing ample off road parking, this property opens to a welcoming entrance hall with mirror fronted storage, leading into a bright and airy living/dining room with a vaulted ceiling extension and open fireplace that creates a superb sociable space. The modern kitchen provides excellent workspace and flows into an adjacent utility room, while a downstairs shower room adds practicality to everyday life. A further versatile room on the ground floor offers a vaulted ceiling and could lend itself to annexe accommodation; the benefit of a separate entrance door makes this space ideal for home working or multi generational living.

Upstairs, two generous double bedrooms enjoy pleasant garden views, accompanied by a third single bedroom and a family bathroom.

The impressive rear garden extends to approximately 109' x 38' (33m x 11.6m) and is arranged over different levels with a decking area, patio, lawn and established shrubs and trees, alongside a greenhouse and shed, perfect for gardening enthusiasts and outdoor entertaining. To the front, the property’s forecourt completes the appeal with further parking and kerbside presence.

Brantham is a charming and well served village sitting in the picturesque Stour Valley, a part of the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty often referred to as Constable Country, the inspirational landscape behind many iconic John Constable paintings, with riverside walks, cycling routes and beautiful countryside on the doorstep. Local amenities in the village include a primary school, a local Co-op foodstore and café, play areas, a leisure centre and a variety of community groups and activities, with a wider selection of shops, pubs, restaurants and leisure facilities available in nearby Manningtree just over a mile away. The surrounding area offers a rich selection of pursuits, from sailing, fishing and riverside walks, to local festivals, farmers’ markets and the historic attractions of Constable Country, Dedham Vale, and the Suffolk countryside. This delightful property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy rural living without sacrificing connectivity, a perfect blend of space, flexibility and lifestyle.

Families will appreciate the excellent access to schooling, with Brooklands Primary School only a short walk from the house and other well regarded primary and secondary schools nearby in Manningtree and neighbouring villages. Transport links are superb for both road and rail commuters. Manningtree railway station, just over a mile away, sits on the Great Eastern Main Line with regular services to London Liverpool Street in around one hour, as well as direct connections to Colchester, Ipswich, Norwich and the East Anglian coast. By road, the nearby A137 and A12 provide swift links north and south; Colchester city centre is around 10–15 minutes’ drive, Ipswich around 25 minutes, and Chelmsford and the M25 accessible within roughly 50–60 minutes depending on traffic, making this an excellent location for city and country lifestyles alike. For those who travel further afield, Stansted Airport is around 45–50 minutes by car, while London airports are accessible via direct rail links or motorway connections.
