The Tannery, Northgate, Beccles, Suffolk, NR34

With lofty proportions, stripped wooden floor boards and striking wooden beams exposing the historical bones of this former industrious factory, this dynamic townhouse is the epitome of when style meets luxury.
Inside, you are welcomed by a sizeable entrance hall, practical for all purposes and an insight into the flawless proportions that await over the further two floors. A ground floor bedroom suite next to the first of the three shower rooms provides the perfect balance for a guest suite or simply a suite with a degree of privacy from the rest of the house. The large utility-laundry room allows space to tuck away all your day-to-day essentials, also a practical area for storage when you have the River Waveney on your door step. Rising up to the first floor, you will find that the overall finish to this home is cohesive, soothing and neutral with luxury touches that avoid looking being too sleek. The calming décor really allows the historical bones of this house sing as you follow the solid Oak balustrades up to the galleried landing and into the first floor sitting room, a sizeable room with dual aspect views over The Score to the rear. Back across the landing to the eat-in kitchen, bathing in natural light which spills through the Juliet balcony highlighting both the aged floorboards and the flawless kitchen fittings. Bound to the heart of this home with scenic views through the neighbouring tree line to the River, the kitchen is both practical with a range of built-in appliances and space to dine as it is enjoyable to the eye, it all adds up to a job well done.
Up to the second and final floor, the stunning vaulted ceilings throughout this floor are truly magnificent with a range of Velux skylights allowing both the day and evenings skyline to provide the perfect backdrop throughout the day. Striking solid beams also feature throughout, which again prompts a thought to the historical importance of this home. The master suite resides to the rear, palatial in size with a range of built-in wardrobes and a dual pair of skylights. The en-suite has a real luxury feel to it, fitted with a large walk-in shower and finished with a neutral modern décor. Bedroom two leads across the vaulted landing, with two more skylights allowing stunning panoramic views across the river and up to Beccles clock tower. The family bathroom also leads from the landing, ideal for those with young children.
