Full Description: THE PROPERTY <br />The Nurseries is an elegant and well-proportioned 1930s home occupying a generous plot in the highly regarded village of Dedham. <br /> <br />The property has been significantly enhanced by a substantial two-storey rear extension, completed by the current owners in 2024/25 as part of a comprehensive renovation programme. The house retains two characterful bay-fronted reception rooms, while the extension provides a spacious and contemporary kitchen/breakfast room. This space is thoughtfully designed with a central island, bi-fold doors to the garden, a range cooker, twin dishwashers, a butler’s sink, and underfloor heating. <br /> <br />The first floor offers four bedrooms. The principal suite features a vaulted ceiling with statement lighting, a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden, and an en suite with separate WC and shower. The remaining three bedrooms are all doubles (one currently arranged as a dressing room) and are served by an impressive family bathroom, complete with vaulted ceiling, freestanding bath, twin vanity basins, and a separate shower enclosure. <br /> <br />The renovation works include full re-plumbing, re-wiring, and re-roofing. Additional enhancements include brass light fittings, underfloor heating to the extended areas, new radiators, a well-appointed boot room, and an extended sitting room with oak flooring and a log burner. <br /> <br />Some minor external finishing works remain to the covered front porch. <br /> <br />GROUNDS & OUTBUILDINGS <br />The property enjoys a rear garden extending to approximately 110 feet, featuring a patio terrace, a large lawn ideal for family use, and mature hedging providing a high degree of privacy.
