The property
38 Strickmere is a excellent family home which has been much improved from its original form, following a sizable ground floor rear extension carried out in the early 2000s; this addition helps to make the very best of the property’s unusually large plot, with the enlarged kitchen/breakfast room enjoying a delightful view of the garden.
As the floorplan illustrates, the ground floor has plenty of reception space including a formal sitting room, a playroom and a 20-foot dining room. These compliment the fully fitted kitchen/breakfast room, which features two ovens, a gas hob with extractor above, a dishwasher and a Quettle Tap.
We expect the dining room, the ground floor (fifth) bedroom and the utility room could be converted (stp) to make a suitable granny annexe which could, if necessary, have use of its own entrance adjacent to the garage.
A shower room on the ground floor and a family bathroom on the first floor serve four first-floor double bedrooms.
Grounds and outbuildings
The property sits in grounds which are generous for a house of its type and location, with a 0.65 of an acre total plot and a rear garden which measures over 250 feet; this features dozens of trees which provide a delightful backdrop and privacy, two large areas of lawn (one of which makes for an excellent football pitch), various well-tended beds and a summer house. A full width patio runs the width of the rear the house.
At the front there is private parking space for at least five cars and access to a double garage.
Location
Strickmere is a development of 1970s-built homes occupying a central location in the village of Stratford St Mary.
The development is popular with families and within a short walk of the front door there is a primary school (Ofsted rated: “Good”), three pubs/restaurants including the recently renovated Swan, river walks to Dedham and Higham alongside the Stour, and Hall Farm Shop.
Stratford is a popular and convenient village with excellent access to the A12 in both directions making travel to Ipswich or Colchester quick and simple. Manningtree mainline train station is around fifteen minutes away by car where trains to London Liverpool Street run with a journey time of around an hour.
