Description

Seckford Rise is a beautifully presented property that occupies an enviable position surrounded by open countryside, a short distance to the west of the popular market town of Woodbridge.  

The property has recently been transformed from what was a traditional bungalow, that we understand originally served the wider farming estate, into a very impressive new home.  Part of the renovation works included the extension of the property to the rear to create a stunning, open plan and multi-functional kitchen, dining and sitting room with vaulted ceiling and almost fully glazed rear gable that overlooks the landscaped gardens and grounds at the rear, together with the surrounding open countryside.  Other works included the complete replacement of the roof covering with slate tiles, replacement of all the windows and doors, installation of new heating and hot water systems, a CCTV and security system, new electrical installation as well as impressive new kitchen and en-suite facilities.  A car port and secure garage was also added together with the landscaping of the gardens and grounds.   

The highly specified accommodation now extends to just over 2,000 sq ft (190 sqm) in all and comprises a spacious entrance hall for receiving guests, the aforementioned open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room, a second sitting room and spacious boot/utility room.  There is also the principal bedroom with dressing room and en-suite bathroom as well as two further double bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms.  

The gardens and grounds extend to nearly three quarters of an acre (0.3 hectare) with a generous driveway to the front and side of the property, together with substantial Indian sandstone patio areas at the rear beyond which is the landscaped garden that overlooks the adjoining open agricultural land.
