Description

*** GUIDE PRICE: £750,000 to £800,000 ***

Palmer & Partners are delighted to present this stunning four-bedroom detached family home, discreetly positioned along a private lane in a rural setting on the outskirts of the highly sought-after village of Hintlesham. The property offers convenient access to the A12 and A14 commuter routes and enjoys an enviable position with unspoilt field views to the rear and open paddocks to the front. Occupying a plot of approximately 0.5 acre (subject to survey), the home offers excellent scope for extension and further development, subject to the relevant planning permissions.

There is potential to extend into the rear garden or convert the existing attic, which currently comprises two attic rooms with Velux windows - ideal for creating a home office, studio, or craft room, subject to planning permission. In addition, the double garage with its generous roof space presents further opportunities for conversion into a studio, home office, gym, or ancillary accommodation for family members or guests, again subject to the necessary permissions.

The current owners have significantly upgraded the property, including replacement of most windows and doors, new fascias and soffits, installation of a brand-new kitchen, utility room, and shower room, the addition of a water softener, and the fitting of a new oil boiler and pressurised hot water system.

Accommodation comprises a spacious entrance hallway, two reception rooms - including a living room with a wood burning stove - and a magnificent 35ft conservatory spanning the full width of the property. The ground floor also features a generous newly fitted kitchen/breakfast room, a utility room, cloakroom and a study. On the first floor there are four double bedrooms, one benefitting from an en-suite shower room, along with the family shower room. The attic provides two further spacious rooms which, subject to the necessary planning permissions, offer excellent potential for conversion.

Hintlesham is a picturesque village located approximately halfway between Ipswich and Hadleigh. It is best known for Hintlesham Hall, a 16th-Century Grade I listed country house that has been beautifully restored and now operates as an elegant hotel. The village is also home to the highly regarded Hintlesham Golf Club, featuring an award-winning clubhouse, as well as Birch Farm Children’s Centre, which offers a wide range of physical and educational activities for children of all ages and includes a vibrant on-site coffee shop.

Additional local amenities include a church, an OFSTED ‘Outstanding’ primary school, ‘The George’ public house, the Hintlesham Community Centre, and convenient bus links to both Ipswich and Hadleigh.
