Beautiful House & Stunning Gardens

Description

The Laundry is presented in excellent condition throughout and forms a particularly unique conversion of a period red brick property that once belonged to the Hurts Hall Estate. Converted with great flair, the house offers exceptional accommodation with impressive double height rooms and a wealth of character features, including exposed oak floors, wide part glazed doors with decorative surrounds, Buster and Punch fittings, and beautifully revealed beams and studwork.

The layout includes two especially striking double height rooms, currently arranged as the kitchen/breakfast room and the drawing room. Both enjoy large windows and wonderfully high ceilings, with the drawing room centred around an elegant open fireplace that provides a wonderful focal point.

The triple aspect kitchen/breakfast room is a superb space, fitted with bespoke English Grain cabinetry, Corian and French oak worktops, sink with Perrin And Rowe mixer tap and instant hot water tap in aged brass finish, a substantial kitchen island with Fisher & Paykel induction hob, and two Neff ovens with a warming drawer. A door from this room leads directly out to the garden.

Beyond the sitting room lies a generous family room, featuring outstanding floor to ceiling Fabco windows and French doors that flood the space with natural light. Additional highlights include a feature brick wall, fitted bookshelf, and a Jydepejsen wood burner, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

To the rear of the house, a hallway, which is currently arranged as a study leads through to a further inner hallway. From here, there is access to a utility room and a superb triple aspect bedroom with an en suite shower room and built in wardrobe. The ground floor benefits from underfloor heating, complemented by a well placed cloakroom. There is also excellent storage throughout the house, including a generous loft area above the cloakroom.

Stairs from the study lead up to the first floor where there are two double bedrooms, a smaller bedroom/ study and a family bathroom. A separate staircase from the family room also leads up to an additional bedroom, which is served by its own shower room.

OUTSIDE
The house is set within high mellow brick walls that surround part of the garden which has been expertly landscaped. There is a paved terrace interspersed and surrounded by well stocked herbaceous beds immediately outside the house bordered by the house itself and the garden walls providing a remarkably sheltered area. The terrace overlooks a raised lawn surrounded by a shaped wildflower border which is bordered by maturing Yew hedging and a number of trees, including silver birch and olive trees. There is also an integrated irrigation system and a separate strip of garden contains an array of established fruit trees, including apples, pears, figs, rhubarb and various berry bushes.

At the property there is also ample parking, an EV charging point and shed.

Location

The Laundry is well located on the edge of the town of Saxmundham and just under 10 miles form Aldeburgh, with its renowned golf and sailing clubs. There is easy access to the Heritage Coast and popular villages such as Southwold, Walberswick, Dunwich & Thorpeness, as well as nature reserves such as Minsmere. There is a wide range of sporting facilities in the area, with a number of good golf clubs, and sailing on the rivers Alde, Ore & Deben.

Saxmundham provides a range of useful facilities in the high street including two banks, and Waitrose and Tesco supermarkets. There is a train station with regular trains to London via Ipswich. Ipswich is the country town of Suffolk and has a mainline service to London taking from 65 minutes. There are excellent schools in the area, both within the private sector, such as Framlingham College with its prep school, Brandeston Hall; Saint Felix at Southwold; Orwell Park at Nacton; and Woodbridge School.
