Description
Welcome to this rare opportunity to own a home in the highly sought-after Kiln Lane, Manningtree.
Situated in an award-winning development, this detached double bay fronted home is perfect for those seeking a prestigious lifestyle surrounded by natural beauty and a friendly community. With its carefully curated design, this former three-bedroom detached property has been transformed into an exceptionally spacious two-bedroom residence, offering refined elegance, energy efficiency and an abundance of natural light.
Upon entering, you’re greeted by a spacious and beautifully presented reception hallway that serves as the perfect introduction to this character-filled home. The kitchen/breakfast room lies on your right, offering an impeccable space equipped with soft-closing, cream gloss units beneath quartz worktops, integral Neff and Smeg appliances, and LED lighting that illuminates the space brilliantly. Its dual-aspect nature brings warmth and light, creating a welcoming atmosphere ideal for morning coffee or evening gatherings.
The living room, to the left of the central hall, is an expansive and comfortable space, enriched by a stone fireplace and open layout that flows seamlessly into the vaulted garden room. The garden room, with its bi-folding doors, provides a serene spot for relaxation, effortlessly merging the indoors with the privacy of the garden beyond. This easy to maintain and secure garden is a private, tranquil escape with beautiful paving with red brick definitions, and easy-to-maintain flower borders, making it perfect for enjoying the fresh air in a secure and peaceful environment. An oversized ground floor cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation and this benefits from a large opening into an under the stairs area which itself provides an excellent quick-grab storage facility.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom is impressive in both scale and character. This south-facing room is enhanced by a full-height sash window that captures abundant sunlight throughout the day. It is complemented by an ensuite shower room of the highest standard, fully tiled and featuring a walk-in shower with multiple options for a relaxing experience. The second bedroom has been reimagined by incorporating the footprint of a former third bedroom, making it a truly spacious double with dual windows to the front and a full-height wardrobe. Both are filled with natural light throughout the day due to their Southerly aspect.
This home is also environmentally conscious, featuring twelve south-facing solar panels with a photovoltaic system and two battery storage units, providing an excellent sustainable energy source.
A detached garage with remote control access adds convenience, offering ample space for storage, including the workings of the solar system, and off-street parking for two vehicles on the attractive block-paved driveway.
