Nestled in a secluded spot at the end of a quiet country lane, surrounded by open farmland, this attractive four-bedroom family home, on the edge of the pretty village of Birch, exudes a wealth of authentic features coupled with contemporary living.Set in 1.48 acres (STS) of land and enclosed by mature trees and hedging for complete privacy, this charming unlisted property, built circa 1770, was originally two farm cottages before being joined together, and sympathetically refurbished and extended over the years. The history of this house is evident with touches of traditional features throughout, including the two original staircases, aged oak doors with ring pull latches, exposed beams and beautiful brick fireplaces in many of the rooms.The approach to the property is via a large gravel driveway, with ample parking for numerous vehicles, including two double garages and an adjacent open-fronted car port. On entering the spacious entrance hall, to the right is a guest cloakroom which also doubles as the utility room with all white goods neatly stored away in fitted cupboards; and to the left the hall leads into a bright triple aspect drawing room. This welcoming room, lends itself to both summer and winter living, with French doors leading onto a garden terrace, and a traditional log burner for the cold winter months.Moving from the entrance hall into the reception room, the remainder of the house organically opens out from this delightful room, with beautiful oak flooring running from front to back creating a cohesive effect between the rooms. To the left is the study, with views overlooking the grounds; to the right is a charming dining room which flows directly into a new kitchen extension, providing the ideal layout for both family living and entertaining alike.The fantastic south facing kitchen, with large central skylight and bifold garden doors, allows the light to flood through the house, making it the centre of the home. Built in the traditional Shaker style with oak work tops and porcelain tiles, the kitchen benefits from underfloor heating; an impressive central island and breakfast bar; an integrated wine cooler fridge; double butler sink; large American-style fridge freezer; hob and electric oven, plus ample storage.A cosy sitting room located adjacent to the dining room completes the ground floor. With access to the garden through French doors, and with a traditional fireplace and log burner, this makes the ideal family room.Ascending to the first floor, via the reception room staircase, to the right is the master suite comprising a spacious, triple aspect bedroom; a well thought out dressing room with fitted wardrobes and dressing table area; and a modern ensuite shower room.Moving along the galleried landing are three further, well-proportioned bedrooms. All three rooms have views across the south facing grounds; two benefiting from fitted wardrobes and serviced by a smart family bathroom, complete with underfloor heating, traditional roll top bath, and a standalone shower. The third bedroom features a beautiful traditional brick chimney breast and a contemporary ensuite shower room. A well-equipped laundry room is also located on the first floor, providing ideal storage for washing and linen. Finally, a second set of stairs leads back to the dining room on the ground floor.The beautiful, south facing grounds are extensive, with mature trees and planting providing both privacy and interest all year round. A garden work shed and old stable provide storage for garden equipment and machinery. SELLER'S INSIGHT After years of living a nomadic existence, travelling around the world with the armed forces, and then the United Nations, we finally returned to the UK and started looking for a family home where we could put down some permanent roots. My parents had lived in Colchester and we decided to search in the local area so we could be close to my mother, and within easy reach of London for my job and our two eldest children.We viewed a number of houses but Lane End stood out due to its location and personality. Built in 1770, the house was originally two farm cottages which had eventually been joined together and then sympathetically extended in the 70's to create a large family home. Full of character with exposed beams and traditional features, such as the brick fireplaces and old oak doors, the history of the house is apparent throughout - it still retains the two staircases from each cottage and a large walk-in larder under one of the stairs, adjacent to where the original kitchen once was. Set on a large plot with a fantastic garden; at the end of a quiet lane surrounded by fields, but within close proximity to the village of Birch; the situation was exactly what we were looking for in a family home with a young son. The location has given us privacy but also a safe place for our son to grow up, allowing him to explore the surrounding countryside with his friends, with just a short walk to the village via the many footpaths in the area. Birch itself is a busy, friendly community, with a very active social scene centred around the village pub and the village hall. It also has an excellent primary school with good secondary schools, both state and independent, just a bus ride away in Colchester.Over the years we have gradually updated the house, with a new heating system and timber framed windows throughout, and most recently we installed new bathrooms, underfloor heating and a fabulous kitchen extension with bifold doors leading out to the terrace, which has almost created an additional room by bringing the garden into the house itself. There is also potential to extend upwards into the enormous loft but we have found we have all the space we need. During the lockdown our children and their families stayed with us and the house accommodated everyone amazingly well, with the large garden being such a godsend - we spent most of that summer outside playing family volleyball, cricket, padel tennis and football, sometimes all at the same time! We've also held big family events in a marquee in the garden including two weddings, a christening and some landmark birthdays. With plenty of parking for vehicles on the drive, and a very kind farmer who allowed us to park overflow vehicles in the adjacent field, the house has proved to be an ideal place for entertaining.Having lived here for over twenty years, there are numerous things we will miss when we leave; we have some glorious sunsets which span across the entire garden and into the fields beyond; the peace and quiet which will be very hard to replicate; and the general feeling of space we have, both inside and out.

The sitting area offers a warmth and 'cosiness', with inset Chesney log burner and stone surround, bespoke cabinetry and with french doors to the terrace.A front dining room offers further space for entertaining, a study/home office space, convenient utility with rear entrance and cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.On the first floor offers 4 large double bedrooms all with their own individual style, two of which are ensuite, with a family bath and shower room serving the two others. A subtle but effective touch is the addition of the skylight which streams natural light throughout the floors and makes for pleasant viewing. On the second floor is the principal suite with its own dressing area and room, and a large ensuite shower room.Outside The beauty of the house continues to the outside. Approached by a gated gravel driveway, there is ample parking for several cars and a two-bay cartlodge which could be extended to create a detached annexe/home office. To the rear, a natural limestone alfresco dining terrace wraps around the house, with further laid lawn and a secret garden, affectionately known as the 'magic' garden which is a large space with mature trees, decking area and with the possibility of a detached studio space. Location The village of Dedham is highly sought after and world renowned for its connection with the famous artists of John Constable and Sir Alfred Munnings. There are a good range of amenities including shops, restaurants and pubs with further award-winning restaurants in nearby Stratford St Mary and Stoke by Nayland.
