The property is accessed into a hallway with under stairs storage space and stairs to the first floor, the downstairs WC is accessed from this here with wash handbasin and close couple WC. Doors from the hallway lead to the lounge/dining space which has a box window to the side aspect, laminate flooring and double doors into the rear conservatory.

The conservatory has views of the rear garden and a door out to this space. This downstairs has scope to open up between the kitchen and dining space and creating a wall to separate the lounge which would make a cosy snug to the front and an open plan kitchen/living/dining space at the rear of the property (subject to survey and support).

On the first floor there are four bedrooms the principal is of a good size and benefits from built in sliding wardrobe space, there are two further bedrooms to the rear of the property both of which have built in wardrobe space and there is a restricted view of the estuary beyond. The fourth bedroom has some built in furniture and views to the front, this would make a good single bedroom or alternatively a home office/study space. All of these bedrooms share the family bathroom which consists of panelled bath with shower over, pedestal style wash handbasin, close couple WC and heated towel rail.

Externally the property benefits from off-road parking to the side and the front and this gives access to the single garage with up and over door. A pathway leads from the front to the side of the property giving access to the rear garden which has an area laid to lawn and is fairly overgrown with a number of shrubs, there is also a small wooden storage shed.

Lawford is a large village northeast of Colchester which is contiguous with the small town of Manningtree located close to the River Stour Estuary and on the eastern edge of the Dedham Vale. Manningtree is a flourishing town served by traders supplying local produce, along with supermarkets; schooling for all ages; a church; a range of public houses; cafes, and restaurants. The River Stour enjoys a tidal frontage where there are active boating and sailing facilities.

Commuters are a short drive, cycle, or walk from Manningtree railway station with its fast and frequent commuter train link to London’s Liverpool Street in a journey of between one hour and two minutes and one hour and twelve minutes.

The main A137 connects between Colchester and Ipswich, approximately ten miles in each direction. Both provincial towns have shopping centres, as well as further schooling and employment opportunities. There is, therefore, good access linking to the A120 to Braintree and Stansted and, in the opposing direction, the A14 and to The Midlands beyond.
