Lambourne Cottage, Battisford
A Turnkey Luxury Home
Step into effortless living with this exceptional new build five-bedroom detached residence, where refined design meets modern convenience. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail to an outstanding finish and with options to add your own personality, this is a home where every element has been carefully considered, so you can simply move in and enjoy.

This is more than just a home, it's a lifestyle. Overlooking an orchard the home takes its name from the Lambourne apple and is a place where luxury meets practicality, where indoor and outdoor living blend seamlessly, and where every detail has been designed so you can move straight in and start living. Offered with no onward chain, this is a unique chance to acquire a home that showcases your own personality from the beginning, with buyers being involved in design choices, fixtures and fittings. As distinctive as it is inviting, this property would be perfect as a permanent residence, a weekend retreat, or a peaceful countryside escape.

Step Inside
Inside, the home is designed for both elegant entertaining and comfortable everyday living. The architect design creates a great flow and versatile space. As you enter, on one side is a reception room, perfect as a home office thoughtfully set away from the main social areas, or perhaps a ground floor bedroom, with its own ensuite, futureproofing as single level living. To the other side of the hallway, pocket doors open to a wonderful bright sitting room with stud wall to create a home office space which can easily be removed if preferred as one large room. A working fireplace and double doors to the wraparound terrace make this room incredibly special – cosy in winter yet an entertaining space in summer connecting outside and in. Opposite the sitting room sits the practical coat cupboard and cloakroom, a must have addition for any country home. The heart of the property is the impressive kitchen and family room, complete with high-specification appliances including that all important wine fridge, and expansive bifold doors that open seamlessly onto surrounding terraces. Complimented by a utility room and walk in pantry, any chef will surely love to cook here, being able to chat to guests and oversee the barbecuing on the terrace. Across all principal living spaces, double doors invite the outdoors in, creating a wonderful flow between inside and out. When opened fully, the home transforms into an entertainer's dream; when closed, it retains a warm, intimate atmosphere perfect for quiet evenings.

Brand New Bespoke Life
The local builder has crafted this home with impeccable finishes and is offering new owners the chance to impart their own personality on the property from the very start of their life here. The kitchen, hallway and all the bathrooms will be fitted with lvt of the buyer's choice and the whole of the ground floor has underfloor heating. The kitchen worktops, splashback, and the decisions on configuration of some of the appliances will also be the buyer's choice. The builder is also able to organise carpet fitting for the other rooms if needed. The first floor will have designer radiators in aluminium for maximum efficiency, designer towel rails for the bathrooms and the builder has offered to fit wardrobes of the buyer's choice in the principal bedroom. The windows have been thoughtfully considered too, with an Irish Oak finish outside and white inside and all the internal doors are Oak. Even the Velux windows have been thought about with the two in the stairwell being remote control operated and having rain sensors.

Explore Upstairs
Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms offer flexibility for modern family life. The principal bedroom suite is exquisite with its luxurious ensuite and dressing room. Double doors open to the Juliet balcony adding a boutique feel – being able to wake up in this room and observe the breathtaking views over the orchard, cuppa in hand, just listening to the birds and the wind, is really special. Bedroom two also boasts its own sophisticated ensuite while the remaining two bedrooms are perfect for family, guests, or growing needs and these are serviced by a generous family bathroom with bath and shower. There will be no queuing for the bathroom in the mornings here! Whether accommodating a large household or hosting weekend sleepovers, this home provides space and privacy without compromise.

Step Outside
Set along a private driveway, 600m from the village road, the property overlooks a stunning orchard, offering a beautiful natural backdrop that changes with the seasons and no traffic noise. From the moment you arrive, the sense of space, quality, and tranquillity is unmistakable. The builder has already planted substantial Hornbeam hedging to add to the privacy on the driveway which leads to a triple cart lodge with potential for a hobby room or home office above. Thoughtfully the builder has already ensured an easy conversion with attic trusses, one of which could be removed to install a staircase. Just behind the cart lodge is a lockable cycle store - this home really does have absolutely everything needed for a country life. The landscaping offers ample hard standing for four vehicles at the front whilst the southwest facing wraparound terraces provide multiple seating and entertaining areas, allowing each room to connect effortlessly with the outside space and with one another, ideal for hosting gatherings or simply enjoying peaceful moments in nature.

On The Doorstep

Battisford has its own popular cricket club offering quintessentially English afternoons on the green and just a mile away is the local vineyard with food and drink on hand. The River Gipping and surrounding country parks further enhance the appeal for those who enjoy the outdoors life.
