Tucked away in the heart of Mistley and enjoying far-reaching views towards the Stour Estuary and Suffolk coastline, this exceptional four-bedroom detached residence offers space, character, and versatility across a beautifully maintained one-third acre plot.
A wide frontage, framed by established hedging and lawn, gives the home a welcoming presence. The generous driveway provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles and leads to a substantial detached garage with through-access and connected power.
Step inside to a bright and spacious entrance hall, where light flows through the glazed front door and highlights the warm tones of wood-effect flooring and crisp white finishes. The central staircase curves gently to the first floor, while built-in storage ensures the space remains practical and tidy.
The main living room is remarkably generous, measuring over 6.5 metres in both directions. With large windows to the front and French doors opening to the garden at the rear, the room is filled with natural light throughout the day. A brick fireplace provides a cosy focal point, while the flexible layout easily accommodates multiple seating zones.
The kitchen and breakfast room sits at the heart of the home. Soft sage cabinetry, stone-effect worktops and a large central island create an inviting space that blends everyday functionality with stylish design. There's room to dine by the corner windows or at the breakfast bar, and the view across the garden adds to the relaxed atmosphere. Just off the kitchen, a separate utility room offers additional workspace, storage, and outside access—ideal for busy households.
To the front of the home, the bay-fronted dining room provides a more formal setting, perfect for hosting family occasions or special meals. A handy cloakroom completes the ground floor.
Upstairs, a broad galleried landing with south-facing windows feels unusually spacious, with room for a reading nook or study area. The principal bedroom enjoys elevated views across rooftops and towards the estuary. Twin fitted wardrobes offer excellent storage, and a private en-suite shower room provides comfort and convenience.
The remaining three bedrooms are all doubles. Two enjoy a sunny southerly aspect to the front, while the fourth looks out across the rear garden and coastline beyond. Each room is finished in a calm, neutral palette and offers flexibility for guests, children, or home working.
The family bathroom is simple and practical, with a bath and shower over, pedestal basin, WC and rear-facing window for ventilation.
Outside, the rear garden is a key feature of the property. Laid mainly to lawn with mature trees, flowerbeds, and a separate kitchen garden, it offers a wonderful sense of space and privacy. A paved terrace near the house is perfect for relaxing or outdoor dining, and a second seating area provides a suntrap spot further down the garden. Outbuildings include a timber shed and greenhouse, and the garden is securely enclosed.
This home offers a rare balance of space, location, and lifestyle. Situated within easy reach of local schools, the A120/A12, and Manningtree’s mainline station to London Liverpool Street, it combines convenience with countryside charm. The riverside market town of Manningtree is nearby, with a thriving High Street, weekly market, cafes, restaurants, and access to sailing, walking routes, and the scenic Dedham Vale.
