The stylish accommodation, laid out over four floors, offers a superb village home or bolthole perfect for those searching for a country lifestyle and an escape from the city.
Unusual for a property of this age, Bay House has a zero-carbon footprint as it is heated entirely by renewable energy via a Mitsubishi air source heat pump.
ACCOMMODATION:
Stepping through the attractive front door which boasts fluted architrave along with a fan light, you will find an inviting RECEPTION HALL with oak flooring and steps leading down to the BASEMENT MUSIC ROOM/STUDY.
BASEMENT MUSIC ROOM/STUDY:
The basement at Bay House has been fully and professionally waterproofed (tanked) and now lends itself to multiple uses such as an overflow bedroom, music room, office/study or cinema room. Under-floor heating.

The reception hall also provides access to a light and airy sitting room, where a canted bay window affords pleasant views across Court Street. A striking fireplace with fluted columns and mantel generates a warm and cosy ambience, while a delightful fitted cabinet with display shelving and inset lighting adds a charming finish to the room.
DINING ROOM:
The breakfast/dining room is spacious and can easily accommodate a generous dining table and chairs, a great place for entertaining and relaxed family meals.

Additionally, there are fitted cabinets to two corners, a sash window offering vistas over the courtyard and access to the staircase for the upper floors.

Built in 'Siemens' 4 ring ceramic hob and cooker, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and water softener. Door to courtyard garden.

DRAWING ROOM:

LOCATION:
Nayland is one of Suffolk's finest medieval villages with over one hundred listed buildings. Set at the heart of the Stour Valley, in beautiful Constable Country just 6 miles from Colchester, which has excellent transport links and shopping, along with cultural and leisure opportunities.
Bay House stands close to the centre of the village within easy reach of amenities including a Post Office/shop, butcher, GP's surgery, primary school, Parish Church and the popular Anchor public house. Nearby Stoke-by-Nayland is home to the superb Park Street convenience store, two excellent pub/restaurants and the 36-hole Stoke-by-Nayland Golf Club and Spa/Gym.
Located in the heart of Suffolk's rural countryside, Nayland is also close to the ancient Suffolk Wool Towns of Lavenham, Long Melford, Sudbury, Hadleigh and Clare, as well as the beautiful historic market town and cultural centre of Bury St Edmunds with its historic Cathedral, Abbey Gardens and 21st century Apex Auditorium, as well as the National Trust's Theatre Royal and nearby Ickworth Park. Cambridge and Newmarket are all within easy driving distance, and trains from nearby Sudbury and Colchester provide good commutable links to London Liverpool Station and beyond.
The surrounding countryside is untouched: gently sloping, quintessential rural Suffolk, as immortalised by the paintings of Constable and Gainsborough. Country walks and the numerous country pursuits are on the doorstep including river walks and kayaking down the River Stour to Dedham, with a stop at a riverside pub. There is superb walking, cycling and riding in the surrounding Dedham Vale, which is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Littlegarth (1 mile) and Holmwood House (6 miles) are both well regarded local preparatory schools, whilst the Royal Grammar School for Boys and County High School for Girls are situated in Colchester.
