Description
Located in the popular and well-established Earls Garden development, this versatile 2/3 bedroom end-terrace home has been thoughtfully reconfigured by the current owners to maximise space and functionality for modern family living.
Originally built as a spacious two double bedroom home, the property now offers three bedrooms thanks to the clever addition of a stud wall in the main bedroom, creating an extra room perfect for a nursery, study, or child’s bedroom. The en suite in the second bedroom has been transformed into a practical walk-in wardrobe, and the first-floor layout now includes a well-appointed shared bathroom with a shower over and a generous storage cupboard on the landing.
The ground floor features a welcoming entrance hall leading into a spacious kitchen with ample cupboard and worktop space and water softener, ideal for everyday use or entertaining. A convenient downstairs W.C. adds to the practicality of the home. To the rear, the lounge/diner benefits from plenty of natural light, with large windows and double doors opening directly onto the garden, creating a bright and airy living space.
Outside, the home enjoys a pleasant position on a side plot with a well-maintained garden bursting with colourful flowers and planting. Behind the garden, secure gated parking on your private drive provides peace of mind, and there is also a generous storage shed located on the driveway, perfect for outdoor equipment or tools.
Just around the corner lies the scenic river walk, a peaceful countryside trail often visited by local wildlife including muntjac deer, making it a wonderful feature for nature lovers and families alike. The onsite play equipment is only a stones throw away, aswell as both primary and secondary schooling.
Presented in excellent condition throughout, this charming and flexible home offers a unique opportunity to live in a desirable village setting with countryside on your doorstep and practical space to suit a range of needs.
Sible Hedingham is a charming and popular village with a friendly community of around 4,000 residents. Local amenities include a pub, doctor's surgery, two petrol stations, and various shops. The village is also home to well-regarded primary and secondary schools, with private school options available in nearby villages such as Gosfield, Felsted, and Stoke By Clare.
