4 Bedroom detached house ● Little Yeldham Road, Halstead ● £850,000
An immaculate four/five bedroom home. Set approximately seven miles west of Sudbury in a rural location with open countryside to two sides. Set alongside only a handful of individual properties offering privacy and tranquility. 2311 sq ft and just under half acre plot.
An Exemplary Modern Residence Set Within Half an Acre of Tranquil Grounds
Escape the pace of city life for the serenity of the North Essex countryside. Completed in 2022, this bespoke detached residence offers approximately 2,311 sq. ft. of light-filled, high-specification accommodation. Blending traditional aesthetics—such as peg-tiled roofing and rendered elevations—with contemporary cedar cladding, the home is a masterclass in modern rural living.
The Lifestyle
Located in the peaceful village of Little Yeldham, the property serves as a private sanctuary. While it offers a "getaway" feel, convenience is close at hand: the local post office and store are just a mile away, while the vibrant market town of Sudbury (7 miles) provides a curated selection of boutique shops, restaurants, Waitrose, Sainsburys and Tesco supermarkets.
Architectural Highlights & Eco-Efficiency
Built to "show-home" standards and maintained with fastidious care, the property feels brand new. It is designed for the future, featuring:
• Air Source Heat Pump & modern private drainage.
• Zoned Underfloor Heating across the entire ground floor.
• High-performance glazing, including expansive bi-fold doors.
The Accommodation
The Grand Entrance
The sense of volume is immediate upon entering the vaulted reception hall. An oak staircase leads to a galleried landing, while a high-level dormer window floods the space with natural light, creating a bright and airy transition to the principal living areas.
The Social Hub: Kitchen / Dining / Living Room
The heart of the home is the magnificent open-plan kitchen and living space. Designed for both daily life and grand-scale entertaining, it features:
• Premium Kitchen: Modern cabinetry with integrated Neff appliances and a substantial breakfast bar.
• Living Area: A cosy lounge zone anchored by a contemporary log burner—perfect for cooler evenings even when the bi-folds are thrown open to the terrace.
• Seamless Transition: The cedar-clad rear elevation integrates the indoors with the garden, offering uninterrupted views across the grounds and open fields.
The Formal & Versatile Spaces
A refined sitting room sits at the rear, boasting full-width bi-fold doors that lead onto the sun terrace. For those working from home, a dedicated study provides a quiet retreat. Additionally, a large ground-floor room offers total versatility; currently used as a fifth double bedroom, it is served by an adjacent shower room, making it ideal for guests or multi-generational living.
The First Floor
The galleried landing, featuring views over the surrounding countryside, leads to four generous double bedrooms.
• The Principal Suite: A sanctuary at the rear of the house with a luxurious en-suite shower room and elevated field views.
• Guest Suite: A second bedroom also benefits from private en-suite facilities.
• Family Bathroom: A high-end four-piece suite serving the remaining bedrooms.
Grounds & Outbuildings
Set back behind a curved mellow-brick wall, the property sits on a plot of just under half an acre.
• Parking & Security: An expansive driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles. Provisions are already in place to electrify the timber gates if desired.
• Garaging: A detached double garage and workshop features electric roller doors, power, lighting, and an integrated wood store.
• The Gardens: The rear garden is a true highlight—bordered by mature native hedging and backing directly onto open farmland. The extensive paved terrace is perfectly positioned for al fresco dining and soaking in the far-reaching rural views.

Without a doubt there are two large driving forces for people moving to the area. The excellent range of private and state schools. The grammar schools annually top the league tables across the country. The range of private schools offer a more tailored education and are exceptionally well sought after. The second, being value for money, although, as the town grows, house prices within the area look to rise steadily within the coming years.
