This week's outstanding home on offer is this imposing detached Grade II listed home in Bear Street in Nayland, on the market with Chapman Stickels for £700k.

The Property

This imposing detached house is built entirely of white brick.

The house is a classic example of Georgian architecture, displaying numerous double-hung sash windows, a six-panel front door with fluted architrave and a shallow hipped roof of slate tiles.

Internally the accommodation offers well-proportioned and symmetrical rooms, with the entire range of sash windows to the front providing wonderful views over the south-west facing gardens.

The two reception rooms are twin aspect, each with fireplaces, and the remaining fenestration comprises high level casement windows to the side and rear aspects.

Although requiring cosmetic updating, the kitchen /breakfast room is comprehensively fitted with hardwood units, integral oven, grill and electric hob with tiled splashbacks.

A utility room adjoins, along with a front vestibule.

The first floor provides three double bedrooms, with the two end rooms being full width. The intermediary rooms are the third bedroom and a large wet room.

Correspondingly to the entire ground floor, all rooms to the first floor enjoys the same attractive vista over the gardens.

Outside, the house is discreetly set well back and 'side on' to Bear Street, which gives the property a good sense of seclusion. This arrangement appears unique to Bear Street, and probably to Nayland at large.

Standing in just under 0.25 acres, the part walled gardens are predominately to south west, with a large central lawn defined by well stocked flower and shrub borders.

A yew hedge delineates the front parking area which is accessed via an electric five-bar gate. Feature trees include a specimen oak tree to the front, and a large ash tree set close to the Mill Stream, which defines the entire southern boundary.

Attached to the southern end of the house is a single storey weatherboarded store.
