Details

Boydens is delighted to present this three-storey Neo-Georgian property, situated within the exclusive and highly desirable Lawford Place development, nestled in the heart of the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Originally known as Lawford Park, this private parkland estate was thoughtfully developed in 2009, offering a harmonious blend of modern living within a historic and picturesque setting. The estate comprises just 48 distinguished homes, carefully arranged across over 16 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds and private woodland. A central boulevard, adorned with mature trees, gracefully extends from the restored Manor House, adding to the grandeur and timeless character of the development.
This exceptional residence exudes an air of refinement, combining elegant period-style features with the comfort and practicality of contemporary design. From its tall ceilings and sash windows to the high skirting boards, every detail has been considered to create a home of both substance and style. The property's carefully arranged interiors provide a sense of spaciousness and light, complemented by its private rear garden.
The property is thoughtfully arranged over three floors, offering a well-designed layout that seamlessly combines functionality with elegant living spaces.
The ground floor features a welcoming entrance hall that leads to a stunning dual-aspect sitting room, offering expansive views across the central boulevard and direct access to the rear garden. The spacious dual-aspect kitchen and dining room is beautifully appointed, complete with integrated appliances, including a dishwasher, oven, and hob. This level is further enhanced by a convenient ground-floor cloakroom and a separate utility room.
The first floor is home to the luxurious principal bedroom, which benefits from an ensuite shower room and fitted wardrobes. A generously sized guest bedroom and a stylish family bathroom complete the first-floor accommodation.
On the second floor, two additional well-proportioned bedrooms are complemented by built-in storage cupboards and a modern shower room, making this level ideal for family living or accommodating guests.
Situated on the edge of the Dedham Vale, Lawford benefits from its proximity to Manningtree, a charming riverside town set on the banks of the River Stour. Manningtree, celebrated as England’s smallest town, is steeped in history and boasts a vibrant community atmosphere. The town is home to an array of amenities, including local shops, banks, a doctor’s surgery, a pharmacy, galleries, a theatre, and a variety of restaurants and independent retailers. The town’s period architecture, coupled with its scenic riverside setting, creates an idyllic environment for both residents and visitors.
Positioned midway between the historic county town of Ipswich and the Roman heritage town of Colchester, Lawford provides convenient access to the best of both worlds. The nearby A12 ensures excellent road links, while Manningtree’s mainline railway station, just a short walk from the property, offers direct train services to London Liverpool Street, making this an ideal location for commuters seeking a serene escape from the bustle of city life.
