Snape, Saxmundham

The Property Foxes Corner is a wonderfully individual single-storey home offering over 2,500 sq ft of versatile accommodation, quietly tucked away in one of Snape's most desirable spots. The property has been thoughtfully extended over the years to create a spacious layout that balances everyday living with areas to entertain, relax, and work from home.

At the heart of the house is the main sitting room, a light-filled space with a dramatic corner window overlooking the gardens, creating a seamless connection between the indoors and out. This room has a cosy open fireplace and ample space for multiple seating areas, reading nooks, and bookcases.

A key feature is the orangery, which was added to the property to create a stunning room for all seasons. With full-height windows on three sides, a vaulted ceiling, and solar panels discreetly mounted on the roof, this room offers the perfect space for dining or relaxing while enjoying uninterrupted views of the gardens and surrounding greenery.

The kitchen is traditional in style and serves as a practical and functional space, with a long run of countertops, ample storage, and garden views. Beyond the kitchen is a generous utility room, large enough to be a second kitchen or laundry area, providing excellent ancillary space with direct access to the garden.

The property offers four bedrooms in total. The principal suite, located at the far end of the house for privacy, includes a large bedroom, and en-suite bathroom. The remaining bedrooms are all well-proportioned, with one currently used as a study, allowing for flexible use depending on a buyer's needs.

There are three shower rooms and a family bathroom.

The studio-adjacent to the orangery-is a brilliant creative space, currently used as an artist's studio but equally suited for hobbies, exercise, or home working.

Outside, the gardens are a particular highlight. They have been carefully cultivated and landscaped over many decades, resulting in a private, wildlife-friendly haven. The grounds feature an array of mature trees, shrubs, wildflower patches, and established fruit trees, creating year-round interest. There are also several patio and terrace areas for outdoor dining or peaceful moments in the sun.

The property benefits from a garage and driveway parking, oil-fired heating, solar panels contributing to energy efficiency, and a private septic tank system.

Foxes Corner offers a rare combination of space, privacy, and a true connection with nature, all within walking distance of Snape's iconic Maltings and riverside walks. 

The Location Foxes Corner enjoys a quiet, tucked-away position on Priory Road in Snape, one of Suffolk's most picturesque and sought-after villages. Snape is famed for its rich cultural heritage and outstanding natural beauty, making it one of the most desirable places to live in East Suffolk.

At the heart of the village is the internationally renowned Snape Maltings, just a short stroll from Foxes Corner. This iconic riverside complex is home to the Aldeburgh Music Festival, founded by composer Benjamin Britten, and continues to host world-class concerts and events throughout the year. Beyond music, the Maltings offers a vibrant mix of independent shops, galleries, craft workshops, and eateries, as well as a monthly farmers' market. It's a destination in its own right, drawing visitors from across the region.

For nature lovers, the property is perfectly placed to explore the Suffolk Heritage Coast, much of which is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The area offers a patchwork of open heathland, ancient woodland, marshes, and shingle beaches. The RSPB reserve at Minsmere, a haven for birdwatchers, is close by, as are wonderful walks along the River Alde and the wide-open landscapes of Snape Marshes.

Aldeburgh, with its shingle beach, pastel-coloured seafront homes, and famous fish and chips, is around 5.5 miles away. Further afield, Southwold and Walberswick are easily reached for day trips to the coast, while Orford and its historic castle and quay are just a short drive away.

Snape is well-connected, with Saxmundham (5 miles) offering two supermarkets (Waitrose and Tesco) and a railway station providing regular services to Ipswich and London Liverpool Street.

The combination of tranquil countryside, a vibrant cultural scene, and easy access to the coast makes Snape one of Suffolk's most sought-after villages for both permanent living and weekend escapes.
