Description

The Old Stables is a beautifully converted property that has been lovingly restored by the current owners over the last decade from a derelict building into a substantial, and comfortable family home. It includes many eco-friendly features such as double glazing throughout, underfloor heating, air source heat pumps, and solar panels, all set within the picturesque coastal Suffolk village of Bawdsey, a stone’s throw from the sea and River Deben.

The red brick building features a tiled roof with many original features retained inside including vaulted ceilings, exposed brick and timber beams providing generous accommodation in wonderfully proportioned and light filled rooms with a wealth of character and with an outstanding EPC Rating of B. The front door opens into an entrance hall and flows seamlessly through to the double aspect sitting room. The sitting room features a delightful wood-burning stove, and exposed brickwork to provide a cosy atmosphere. A light-filled hallway with glazed sliding doors leads through to a study and the double height, triple-aspect kitchen/breakfast room.

The kitchen/breakfast room is a magnificent space that is double height displaying original beams and a large window as the main focal point, filling the room with natural light. It also boasts ample storage, an Everhot cooker, a walk-in pantry, and a separate utility room.

Beyond the kitchen is a fabulous entertaining room, with a partially glazed ceiling, and one wall of glazing including two sets of glazed bi-fold doors that lead onto a generous deck and the southwest-facing garden. A double aspect wood burning stove sits centrally dividing the room into distinct dining and sitting areas. A glazed sliding door leads through to a light filled garden room/office, which again has large windows and glazed French doors offering delightful views over the Property’s Pond, next door Lake, and in the distance, the River Deben. Within the room there is also bespoke fitted cabinetry including a fold down bed. A further door leads to an en-suite bathroom and stairs lead up to a mezzanine, which could be used as a further bedroom or a flexible living space.

Stairs from the entrance hall lead up to four well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom in particular is a great size and comprises a walk in wardrobe, sitting area and a beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom.

Outside
The Old Stables is set within delightful grounds and is accessed via a long private drive that leads to the property, offering a sense of peace and privacy. There is a substantial carport along with four stables, providing ample space for both vehicles and storage needs.

The property has a beautiful formal garden, featuring shrubs, herbaceous borders, and a decked terrace, a lovely spot for alfresco dining. Beyond the courtyard, the garden wraps around the property to a large pond with mature trees and views out to the River Deben and neighboring farmland.

Location

The Old Stables is situated at the end of a quiet drive on the edge of the village of Bawdsey with easy access from the property to the River Deben and the sea. The property is close to Bawdsey Quay with its ferry boat service through the summer to Felixstowe Ferry. The Bawdsey Haven Yacht Club is based on the quay, providing a range of activities for the sailing enthusiast.

The market town of Woodbridge provides a railway station as well as swimming pool and the Riverside Theatre where occasional live shows are held, as well as schools for students of all ages both in the state and independent sectors. There are further private schools found in Ipswich, Brandeston and Framlingham, and an excellent primary school in Bawdsey. The picturesque Suffolk countryside provides many attractive walks and rides and there are good opportunities to play sport in the surrounding district with golf courses at Woodbridge, Ufford, Bromeswell, as well as on the coast at Aldeburgh and Thorpeness.
