MAIN ACCOMMODATION Full description

The main house offers 5 double bedrooms with 4 bathrooms and is set within superb mature formal gardens, woodland and parkland grounds on the edge of the village of Hacheston located between the towns of Woodbridge & Framlingham.

This Edwardian country house dates back to the early 1900's and has a superb 3 bedroom detached cottage/annexe within the grounds and has been tastefully updated over the years. It offers a heated swimming pool & gym for occupants to use all year round, formal gardens and grounds, including railed paddocks, extending to approx. 4.9 acres sts.

The front door opens into a wide reception hall and a central hallway running the length of the house.

Doors lead to a pair of impressive reception rooms. The double aspect sitting room has large windows, an elegant fireplace and west-facing French windows, which overlook the stunning gardens and driveway. There is a double aspect family room which is a superb room and enjoys views of the gardens.

Beyond the family room is a bespoke kitchen, which has hand built wooden cabinetry, granite and maple work surfaces, a central island, range cooker and double sink, under counter dishwasher plus fridge/freezer. The newly refurbished vaulted dining area is flooded with light from two electric Velux windows and south facing French windows opening out to the gardens.

Finishing the ground floor is a well proportioned office, useful utility room comprising an excellent range of storage cupboards and a door providing access to the garden.

Stairs from the entrance hall lead to the first floor where a central landing runs through to a peaceful library/study area overlooking the rose garden.

The bedrooms are arranged over the first and second floor. There is a generous double aspect principal bedroom, which has beautiful views over the gardens and surrounding countryside. The principal bedroom also has a range of fitted wardrobes and a door to a marble en suite bathroom with separate shower.

A sweeping gravelled drive leads through decorative wrought iron gates to a parking area to the front of the house, focusing around an attractive circular central rose garden.

To the rear of the house is a sheltered and secluded walled courtyard, with an extensive raised terrace, ideal for alfresco dining ideally located close to the kitchen/dining room.
