Huon Cottage, Nursery Lane, Sheldwich Lees ME13

Huon Cottage is a magnificent four bedroom detached family home, built by respected builder Millwood Homes in 1997 and is offered to the market with no onward chain. Located along a pretty gravel lane in the idyllic village of Sheldwich Lees, the property occupies a plot measuring approx. 0.6 of an acre and is extremely attractive with brick and weatherboarded elevations under a tiled roof. The accommodation is both light and well-proportioned throughout and has a layout designed for comfortable, relaxed family occupation. Upon entry, a large welcoming hallway leads into a fantastic triple aspect kitchen/breakfast room with underfloor heating and an extensive range of bespoke units around a central island all topped with granite work surfaces. Integrated appliances include dishwasher, fridge/freezer, microwave, and space for range cooker. The living room has a wood burning stove set in an attractive central fireplace with brick surround and timber mantel and double doors opening into the garden room. Adjacent to the living room is a second reception room, currently used as a library/office which could also serve as a formal dining space. The Amdega garden room is a real delight being wonderfully light, double glazed with electric remotely operated blinds and providing plenty of room for seating and additional dining space. The ground floor also benefits from a cloakroom/WC and a separate utility room with space for laundry appliances under a work surface with sink and a personal door to the garage. The galleried first floor landing is exceptionally light and gives access to four bedrooms and a ceiling hatch, with pull-down ladder, provides access to the loft space. The bedrooms are all a good size with each having lovely views over the garden to the rear or lane to the front. There is a well appointed family bathroom and the two largest bedrooms both have built-in wardrobes and the master bedroom a large ensuite shower room.
The enchanting gardens, measuring approximately half an acre, back onto woodland and are mainly laid to lawn with a beautiful variety of trees, shrubs and flowers all bordered by well-kept hedges and fencing. Amongst mature fruit trees, a carpet of daffodils give a burst of colour in the Spring months and a gate gives access to the mature woodland through which footpaths provide lovely countryside walks. A pretty summerhouse overlooks the garden and a shed provides useful storage. The double garage has electrically operated doors, power and light and houses the combination boiler and water softener. The substantial loft is well insulated and boarded and gives scope for converting to further bedroom space subject to the necessary consents.
Services include gas-fired central heating, mains water and a communal sewage treatment plant towards which the residents contribute approximately £550 per annum which also includes general maintenance of the shared lane.
Huon Cottage is situated in a tranquil location in the delightful village of Sheldwich Lees which benefits from a primary school, church, village hall and green with cricket club and pitch.
