Description
Located at the end of a long, private driveway in the heart of the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and indeed Constable country itself, this Grade II listed period farmhouse enjoys a wealth of accommodation and traditional features all set within five and a half glorious acres (STS) of Suffolk countryside.
A charmingly thatched stable offers three stalls - with an additional tack room - perfect for those looking to have their horses stabled close by, conversely a possible opportunity for conversion subject to the correct permissions.
Although the aesthetic to the exterior of the farmhouse is largely protected by its Grade II listing, the current owners - having lived here for over forty years - have both stylishly and sympathetically maintained the integrity of its origins - with the wealth of original features being celebrated within the decor.
The charmingly elegant reception rooms are separate, yet loosely interlinked creating a social suite of rooms to suit all occasions.
A garden room towards the rear of the property provides direct access, through double doors, onto a private courtyard and the gardens beyond.
The kitchen is presented in warm, Shaker style, with plenty of room for food preparation - all enhanced by the AGA, inset into an inglenook fireplace. The breakfast area is large enough for a good-sized table so family members can enjoy glorious countryside views.
Three separate staircases intriguingly draw the visitor to the first floor, enriched by a wealth of exposed timbers, where the six double bedrooms and three bathrooms are located.
Set in grounds of approximately six acres, a walled garden provides a pretty red-brick boundary to the garden at the front of the property. The garden then sweeps round to the side and then the rear. Soft, lush landscaping provides areas of interest throughout the gardens - with courtyard, terrace, seating areas, a pond, and a vegetable garden - whilst a five-bar gate provides access to the paddocks beyond.
A beautifully thatched stable - with three boxes and a tack room - is currently being used as a studio. Subject to the correct permissions these stables could be converted into a separate, self-contained annex, studio or office space.
A double and single garage provide sheltered parking for up to three cars, whilst an adjacent parking area provides parking for several vehicles.
