Detached house for sale in Stoke Road, Leavenheath, Colchester, Suffolk CO6

Nestled on the outskirts of Leavenheath, White House Lodge stands as an enchanting detached residence boasting four bedrooms and period charm. Resting amidst approximately half an acre (sts) of meticulously maintained grounds, the property exudes tranquility from behind its welcoming five bar gate and along a sweeping gravel driveway. Dating back to the 1840s, the original structure has been expanded over time to accommodate modern family living.

Entering through a welcoming foyer, one is greeted by the cozy snug featuring a characterful brick fireplace. Opposite lies the inviting sitting room, adorned with a striking red brick fireplace and double glazed doors leading to the sun terrace which wraps around to the side, partially sheltered by a charming oak pergola adorned with climbing Clematis. Tucked away on the north/east side is a versatile study, while further along the rear of the home, a bright and airy open plan kitchen/dining room awaits, complete with bi-fold doors offering delightful views of the terrace and secluded garden.

Ascending to the first floor via a generous landing, four double bedrooms and a family bathroom await, providing ample accommodation for the whole family.

Outside, the property is adorned with a well-maintained lawn, expansive gravel driveway, garage, and workshop to the front, while a shepherd's hut with electricity lies to the south-west, offering potential for various uses. Wrapping around the rear of the residence, a sun-drenched terrace overlooks the delightful gardens and surrounding farmland.

Ideally situated just off the A134, Leavenheath offers convenient access to Sudbury, Colchester, A12, and Ipswich, striking the perfect balance between seclusion and accessibility. The area boasts excellent educational facilities, both private and state, while local amenities including a popular pub and newly opened village shop add to the village's charm. Nearby Boxford provides a plethora of amenities, including shops, a post office, doctors' surgery, pubs, a café, and a primary school. Sports enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity of the 36-hole Stoke by Nayland Golf Club and Spa, along with outstanding dining options in Lavenham and Stoke by Nayland.

It's worth noting that planning permission has previously been granted for a two-story extension to the rear of White House Lodge, although this would necessitate a fresh planning application at present.
