Nedging Tye, Ipswich

This stunning home was originally built in the early 1600's (Jacobean) and has been re-built and extended considerably to create a wonderful four-bedroom family home with a two-bedroom annexe, offering space for all the family to enjoy both inside and out. Positioned on a quiet road with two acres of private panoramic countryside views, yet with bustling market town amenities close, by you can absolutely enjoy country living to the full here.

The current owners have undertaken their improvements very sensitively using natural materials, which age beautifully, bringing their own history to the original structure. The original beams in the main house, recovered and repurposed bricks and solid oak flooring blend well with modern touches and the property has a welcoming friendly atmosphere throughout. The wonderful triple aspect, bright living room boasts weathered beams, solid oak wooden floors and a fantastic feature fireplace with huge wood burner The current owners purchased this home many years ago. Originally a derelict small farmhouse it has been completely stripped down to lay a damp proof course, add the kitchen, dining room and bedrooms above and of course a new roof all using the original materials where possible to retain the history in the home for generations to come. The beautiful brick flooring in the entrance hall was rescued from beneath concrete in the original lounge, re-laid and sealed and adds such a warmth to the home. Although now with every modern convenience you need, the house still has an abundance of character with original inglenook fireplace, now with huge wood burner, and ancient beams some of which are thought to be over 400 years old. The renovation included creating a two-bedroom annex from the old garage which has been used to generate extra holiday rental income over the years.

From the driveway step into the utility and boot room - perfect when coming in from county walks and for muddy paws and boots. This leads to the internal hallway taking you to the kitchen with practical cushioned floor and every modern appliance you might need. Across the hallway is the dual aspect, light and bright dining room with a peaceful ambience and then a useful cloakroom. The unique, magnificent living room with solid oak floor, inglenook fireplace with wood burner, original ancient beams and triple aspect with wonderful views from every window is the icing on the cake and makes such a statement about the past history of this wonderful home.

Set on a very quiet country lane the generous driveway provides parking for several vehicles, so there is never a problem when hosting a crowd. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature trees and shrubs and would make a great "dogs area" and could easily be enclosed. The attractive and immaculate stone terrace to the rear is ideal for alfresco entertaining and for enjoying the peace this property affords; it includes a private space for the annexe although the partition fencing could easily be removed if needed. The lawns stretch away from the house offering a formal garden then onto grasslands which roll away like the fields that surround it. The far lawns are now left to rewild and attract a huge variety of wildlife including rabbits, muntjac deer, fox, badgers and birdlife including kites and buzzards - recently the owner was privileged to catch sight of a white-tailed eagle, a rare sight. Whoever the new owners are there will be something to love in this garden.
