Location
Covehithe House sits in a particularly pleasant, stand alone position along a small lane.  Whilst having the feeling of a rural situation, it is just a short walk from the very centre of Wrentham, with its pubs and Black Dog deli.  There is also a village hall and sporting facilities.  The property is just off the A12 with excellent links to Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth to the North and Ipswich and London to the South.  The Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB, and seaside resort of Southwold is just a few minutes drive from the village with its thriving high street, numerous pubs and restaurants and its famous sandy beach and  traditional seaside pier. The town of Beccles is within nine miles. The property is just 1.5 miles from the sea at Covehithe where the ruins of the once glorious medieval St Andrews Church can be seen.  The surrounding countryside of the Suffolk Heritage Coast is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and includes such attractions as the nearby Dunwich Forest, Minsmere Birds Reserve, as well as Henham Park and the Benacre and Covehithe Broads. 
     
Description
The Haven is known informally as Covehithe House. The vendors have carried out a complete refurbishment/extension programme that has resulted in a highly impressive detached house that is presented to a very high standard.  It has been used as both a private home and also a holiday let.  

A front door leads to a reception hall and to the hallway.  From here, steps rise to the first floor landing and there is a door to the open plan living room and also to the sitting room.   This has a wood burning stove and window with field views.  It has at times been used as a 5th bedroom.  A door leads to the plant room and also the open plan kitchen/living/dining room.  This fabulous room has windows to the north, east , south and west which includes bifold doors opening up to a substantial patio and the garden.  The kitchen area is fitted with a stylish range of high and low level wall units which include an integrated dishwasher, fridge freezer and space and plumbing for a range cooker with bottled gas connection for the hob.  Adjacent is a utility room with high and low level wall units, a sink as well as space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble drier.  A door leads to the exterior and a further door opens to the downstairs bathroom that has a spa bath, shower, WC and hand wash basin.  It is fully tiled with travertine.  From the first floor landing there is access to the four bedrooms and shower room which comprises a WC, hand wash basin, shower and window.  The principal bedroom is triple aspect and enjoys superb views over adjacent countryside.  The adjacent en-suite has a shower, WC and hand wash basin.  Two of the further bedrooms are good sized doubles which have outstanding rural views.  The fourth bedroom is a  single, and again has lovely views.

The majority of the furnishings are available by negotiation.

Outside
The property is approached from the small lane via a shingle drive which provides off road parking.  The rear garden can be accessed via either side of the house and a substantial sandstone patio abuts the living room and utility room.  Adjacent to this is garden which is laid to lawn along with flower beds and trees.  The garden is fully enclosed by hedging and fencing.  There is a substantial swim spa pool that is available by separate negotiation.  Adjoining the house is a store room which was a former garage that contains the LPG fired boiler.

About Clarke & Simpson

Clarke & Simpson is an independent firm of Chartered Surveyors dealing in rural property matters including estate agency, residential lettings, farm and land sales, professional valuations, estate management, auctioneering and architectural work. With a team of over thirty working from our office in the medieval town of Framlingham, we pride ourselves on our wealth of experience and knowledge and do our very best to a offer a completely dedicated, personal and professional service.

Whilst our business is based around bricks and mortar, more fundamentally it is about people and this is where Clarke & Simpson hope that we genuinely excel. We believe our reputation is built on openness and honesty.

History

The business was started in Christopher Clarke's playroom back in 1989. Christopher had previously been the managing director of a large corporate agency and was keen to get back to his original roots of selling property and offering a first class personal service. The business may have grown but there is still the great enthusiasm from all the team to offer the highest quality care and attention.

Service

We all detest phoning any business and either getting an answerphone or speaking to someone who cannot help and are simply fielding the call. We really want everyone who contacts us to feel that we have done our very best to help in a prompt and efficient manner. When you call during working hours you will always get to speak to one of our experienced team, not an answer phone. If that person cannot immediately help you, they will do their utmost to find someone who can.

  • Call us and always get to speak to a member of our experienced staff and never an answerphone during office hours.
  • With our team of over thirty, including eight Chartered Surveyors, we are confident that our personal and truly professional service will most often be a cut above the rest.
  • Our agents have lived and worked in Suffolk for most of their lives and are proud of the fact that they know most small lanes, pubs, schools and parishes in the area, and can offer buyers and sellers honest and knowledgeable advice.
  • We work on the basis that, having dealt with Clarke & Simpson, you would be happy and keen to recommend us to your family and friends.
