Location

Greensleeves is positioned in an elevated position on the edge of Lavenham, a town regarded as the finest surviving Medieval town in England and is famous for its unique timber framed houses. The historic village was constructed at the height of the wool trade and benefits from a wide range of local shops, restaurants, public houses and hotels together with a thriving tourist trade. A much wider range of services can be found from Sudbury and Colchester, the latter has direct services into London's Liverpool Street Station.

Description

Greensleeves is a delightful Georgian style modern house constructed from brick with rendered elevations enhanced by particularly attractive sash windows and stone column entrance porch under pitched tiled roofs. The house was built with high quality materials including terracotta roof tiles, the staircase, the kitchen units are all individually handmade and the reception rooms are individually designed and of elegant proportions.

The accommodation is particularly well laid out with an impressive entrance hall featuring a curving central staircase. The main reception rooms open off the hallway, with the sitting room and dining room on one side, with doors leading onto the spacious south facing orangery. The orangery has folding doors leading to a natural stone patio. The kitchen is fitted with a solid oak fitted Neptune kitchen with granite worksurfaces and an island unit. The kitchen has a fitted induction range style cooker, Belfast sink and a complete range of fitted appliances, as well as a ceramic tiled floor. This adjoins the good size rear entrance hall with a cloakroom and fitted utility room.

The house benefits from wet under floor heating on the ground floor and dry under floor heating in the bathrooms and orangery, double glazed windows and excellent thermal qualities which should keep the running costs of the house at a minimum. There is also a timed hot water circulation system for instant hot waters.

The first floor affords two main en suite bedrooms both of which benefit from large sash windows overlooking the garden along with bedroom three. The second floor offers a further two double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

There is an enclosed south facing terrace with rose beds and shrubs and at the rear of the property lies a kitchen garden with raised beds providing flowers, vegetables and soft fruits.
