    About this property

    • Adelie is an exceptionally well presented house built of brick and rendered under pitched tiled roofs. Internally the property has been completely renovated and refurbished to a high specification throughout including re-wiring, tiled and carpeted floors, stylish kitchen and bathroom fixtures and fittings. The light and airy accommodation flows remarkably well from a spacious hall with cloakroom and cloaks cupboard. The sitting room benefits from a sliding door from the hallway, bay window with electric curtains and sea/river views.

      The contemporary open plan kitchen/dining room affords bi-folds doors, with electric curtains, which lead out onto to the decked terrace and garden. The kitchen has base and wall mounted units with corian worktops, a boiling water tap and is well equipped with NEFF appliances including two ovens (one of which is a steam oven), microwave and warming drawer, dishwasher, integral fridge, larder units and induction hob.

      Beyond the dining room lies the family room which can be interpreted for a multiple of uses and gives access to the utility room on one side and the study on the other. The first floor provides a delightfully spacious principal suite with electric curtains, a range of built in cupboards and a large en suite shower room. Bedroom two has a balcony which provides spectacular views across to the River Orwell and Harwich Bay, vineyard, church and surrounding countryside. There are a further three bedrooms and a family bathroom.

      Outside
      The property is approached across a gravel drive where there is parking for several vehicles and leads through to a gate, which provides a further parking space. The garden has a decked terrace covered with a wide sail operated via marine rigging, which runs along the rear of the house, an ideal spot for al fresco dining. A stone pathway leads through the lawn to the Rum Shack a perfect place for entertaining during the summer months.

      A large workshop is also situated at the far end of the garden. Beds are successively planted around the edges of the garden with shrubs, spring bulbs and perennials providing colour and interest throughout the year. The garden is oriented to the west with sun throughout the day, enclosed by fencing, providing a high degree of privacy and seclusion. The double garage is very spacious and also works as a further workshop with fitted bench and storage. There are roller doors at either end, very useful to store machinery or a boat.
