    Description

    Welcome to this spacious four-bed home featuring three en suites shower rooms, open-plan kitchen/diner, two reception rooms, utility & W/C. The garden offers patio seating, a lawn with summer house & side access. Off-street parking to side.

    THE PROPERTY

    This striking period home blends timeless charm with surprising scale and functionality. The handsome double-fronted façade with its vibrant door and classic sash windows makes an immediate impression, while inside, the space reveals itself across two carefully considered floors.

    On entering, you're welcomed by warm timber floors and two inviting reception rooms. Each has its own personality — one dual aspect and rich in deep colour tones with a cosy wood burner and direct access to the garden seating area, the other bright and airy, also with a wood burner, the room framed by a large sash window and dressed in soft neutrals, creating the perfect spot to relax, read, or entertain. Both reflect the character of the home, retaining period features and a palpable sense of comfort.

    The heart of the property is the stunning open-plan kitchen and dining area. Industrial-style touches meet rustic warmth here, with exposed brickwork and handcrafted cabinetry. Dual aspects flood the space with natural light, and French doors open onto the garden’s sheltered terrace — ideal for al fresco dining or morning coffee. Adjacent to the kitchen, a utility room and downstairs WC offer practical convenience, subtly tucked away.

    Upstairs, the layout continues to impress with four double bedrooms, three of which are served by stylish en-suites. The principal bedroom suite is a particular highlight, boasting access to a dressing room and sleek en-suite shower room. Across the hall, a standout family bathroom features twin sinks, a walk-in shower, and freestanding roll-top bath — a space both luxurious and functional.

    Outside, the garden is both peaceful and private. A covered seating area leads to a patio ideal for summer evenings, while the lawn beyond is bordered by mature planting, trees, and a charming timber outbuilding that could easily serve as a studio, office or hobby room. There’s off-road parking to the side, completing the appeal.

    With its central location, enviable footprint and blend of character and modern flair, this is a home that invites both everyday comfort and impressive entertaining — a rare offering in such a sought-after position.

    THE LOCATION

    Nestled on the banks of the River Stour, Bures is a charming and picturesque village that straddles the Suffolk–Essex border. With its historic character, scenic countryside, and strong sense of community, Bures offers a desirable blend of rural tranquillity and convenient access to nearby market towns such as Sudbury and Colchester.

    The village boasts a range of period properties and attractive homes, many enjoying views over open fields or the river itself. Local amenities include a well-regarded primary school, a village shop, a post office, and a popular pub. There’s also a train station providing direct links to Marks Tey, making commuting to London via Colchester straightforward.

    Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the wealth of walking and cycling routes that surround the village, particularly the stunning paths through the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. With its blend of countryside living and good connections, Bures is a sought-after location for families, professionals, and retirees alike.
