DESCRIPTION Hunter's Lodge is a distinctive four-bedroom residential property rich in history and character, occupying approximately 3.8 acres of adaptable grounds in the desirable Suffolk village of Leavenheath. The property is positioned on the edge of the village and is set immediately adjacent to the village's built-up area boundary, offering a unique blend of rural seclusion with convenient access to local amenities. Arranged over two floors, the accommodation includes two spacious ground floor reception rooms and a fitted kitchen, offering flexible living space ideal for family use with renovation required.

Internally, the property retains a wealth of historic features, including a striking red brick inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove, exposed beams, and period detailing throughout.

The expansive grounds include mature trees, open lawns, and a variety of outbuildings, suitable for workshops, storage, or potential conversion (subject to planning permission). Gated parking adds security and privacy, while the generous outdoor space offers scope for landscaping, recreation, or smallholding.
