Description
From the moment you arrive, the property impresses with its striking Georgian façade, boasting beautifully curved architectural lines, tall sash windows, and an elegant symmetry that epitomises the era. Step through the front door and into the grand entrance hall, where you are instantly met by a sense of scale and refinement. High ceilings adorned with ornate coving, a majestic sweeping staircase, and the delightful touch of original servants' bells all combine to create a first impression that is both stately and inviting.
To the right, a light-filled living room awaits, centred around a traditional open fireplace—the perfect place to gather and unwind. This space flows seamlessly into a second sitting room, complete with a charming bay window overlooking the rear garden, creating a sociable open-plan feel ideal for both family life and entertaining.
Across the hall, the formal dining room exudes sophistication, with a further impressive fireplace offering a warm and inviting ambiance for memorable dinner parties and family celebrations. The adjacent handcrafted kitchen is both stylish and practical, with a thoughtful layout of bespoke cabinetry, modern integrated appliances, and a central inglenook-style cooker framed by a traditional mantle—marrying contemporary convenience with country charm. A ground-floor cloakroom adds further everyday practicality.
Tucked away via a door in the hallway lies a hidden gem: the cellar, which spans two spacious rooms and has a door to the garden—an ideal opportunity for conversion into a home cinema, gym, or wine cellar, subject to individual needs.
Ascending the staircase, framed by an arched window and illuminated by a crystal-beaded chandelier, you reach the first floor—home to four of the six bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a sanctuary of calm and grandeur, with built-in wardrobes and a beautifully curved window overlooking the garden. A further large double bedroom, also with fitted wardrobes, provides another ideal sleeping or guest retreat. A third double room enjoys the added charm of a feature fireplace and built-in storage, while a smaller fourth bedroom is perfect as a home office or nursery. The family bathroom on this level is a showpiece in itself, offering a traditional four-piece suite including a roll-top bath, separate shower enclosure, and tasteful paneled walls, all finished with classic detailing.
A second staircase rises to the top floor, where two more double bedrooms offer peace and privacy—ideal for older children, guests, or creative studio spaces. A large landing area between them adds further scope for flexible use.
Outside, the generous gated driveway offers secure parking for multiple vehicles and leads to a substantial two-storey former cart lodge and stables. Currently used as a garage and workshop, this detached building brims with potential—ideal for conversion into a home office, annexe, or studio space (subject to planning).
The rear garden is a tranquil escape, predominantly laid to lawn and surrounded by mature trees and planting, with a paved terrace perfect for alfresco dining. A pathway meanders through the space, providing easy access to the rear entrance and cellar below.
This exceptional home is a true celebration of Georgian architecture, combining period elegance with contemporary comfort, and offers an increasingly rare opportunity to own a character-filled, spacious family home in one of Suffolk’s most desirable market towns.
