Dallinghoo, Woodbridge, Suffolk, IP13

An impressive and versatile country property.

Description

Grove Farm House is approached via a tree lined driveway. The property was built in 1982 and now includes two further dwellings, an adjacent indoor heated swimming pool, gym and a range of useful outbuildings set within grounds extending to about four acres (STS) to include gardens, paddocks and a field. The property has been a wonderful family home and may suit multigenerational living, enabling extended families to live together with the benefit of independent accommodation, or could be enjoyed as primary residence with potential for holiday lets or other business opportunities (subject to the necessary consents). We are advised that one of the dwellings has been used for holiday lets and that the swimming pool has previously generated an income.

The main residence (The Farm House) was built in 1982 and comprises: Galleried entrance hall, a sitting room with wood burner, dining room, kitchen opening to a breakfast room with study area, utility room with boiler cupboard, boot room and conservatory. A staircase rises to the galleried landing providing access to five bedrooms, an en-suite bathroom serving the principal bedroom offering dual sinks, bath and a shower, an en-suite bathroom with double shower serving the guest/second bedroom and a family bathroom with shower.

The conservatory provides a link to the indoor heated swimming pool that benefits from an adjacent gym, shower room/WC and a changing room offering three dressing cubicles and a further shower and WC. The pool is heated by an air source heat pump and has French doors.

The annex enjoys independent access but can also be approached via the farm house utility room. The annex comprises: Hall with cupboard, a dual aspect sitting room, kitchen/dining room with French doors opening to a terrace, two double bedrooms and a bathroom equipped with a bath and double shower cubicle.

The bungalow/holiday let (connected to the annex but currently enjoying independent access) was thoughtfully designed and built in 2015 to incorporate vaulted ceilings within the primary rooms and comprises: Entrance hall, dual aspect vaulted sitting room, dual aspect vaulted kitchen/dining/family room with French doors opening to a terrace, two double bedrooms with built in wardrobes, a wet room with walk in shower and a utility room housing the oil fired boiler and water softener.

There are a range of useful outbuildings to include: A double bay cart lodge with an adjacent garage, two further cart lodges with a central garage and shed to the rear, a machine store, and a gated stable yard with two lose boxes/stables and two small stables. The majority of the outbuildings benefit from power and light.

The grounds surround the house with established gardens, a hay meadow, two paddocks, three further small paddocks, an elevated terrace to the front of the swimming pool and a vegetable plot equipped with a poly tunnel, raised beds and a chicken run.
