Waldringfield Road, Martlesham, Woodbridge, Suffolk, IP12

Beautifully presented home in an exceptional location with stunning outlook

Description

Set back from a quiet road, this beautifully positioned home blends modern living with a rural aspect and stunning views from every room. With over 2,300 sq ft of accommodation and a further 840 sq ft of outbuildings, it is an exceptionally rare offering.

A path through the front garden leads to a beautiful veranda and entry to the house. You step into an outstanding open-plan kitchen, dining and family room. This bright, double-aspect space has Karndean flooring with underfloor heating throughout and enjoys beautiful views over the garden and fields, with glazed French doors opening onto the terrace.

The kitchen, designed by Espresso Design London, features an Everhot cooker, a Barazza sink with Quooker boiling water tap, an integrated drawer fridge within the island and a Barazza flush inset three burner gas hob. Two doors lead off the kitchen to the pantry and utility room. The pantry includes an extra large sink, integrated Gaggenau dishwasher and bin storage, and connects to a walk-in pantry via sliding doors, with a further stable door giving outside access. The utility room is fitted with a large sink, space and plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer and a large broom/storage cupboard. It also has stable door access to the rear patio.

Flowing seamlessly from the open plan space is the sitting room, where a double sided wood burning insert fire by Stuv acts as a central feature, subtly defining the two areas while keeping them visually connected and open.

Beyond the sitting room is a rear hallway leading to three double bedrooms and the family bathroom. One of the double aspect bedrooms benefits from an en-suite, air conditioning, and French doors opening directly to a terrace with a view across the valley. A further bedroom also benefits from French doors and a valley view.

The luxurious principal bedroom suite is located on the first floor and is reached via a bespoke limed oak staircase by NJS joinery. There is stylish Lusso Stone bathroom with a bath, ‘his and hers’ sinks and a shower. At the far end of the suite, French doors open to a Juliet balcony providing views over the surrounding countryside.

Outside

Outside, Huxley Farm sits within just under an acre of established gardens and paddock. To the south, a terrace stretches across the back of the house and connects directly to the kitchen - beyond which lies the salt water swimming pool with automatic chlorination, heated by its own air source heat pump, and equipped with Zodiac systems and an electric safety cover. Adjacent to the pool, a gate leads to an enclosed area ideal for animals, while a summer house also sits perfectly positioned beside the pool.

Decking wraps around the rest of the property, providing a natural flow between the various seating areas and making the most of the stunning views surrounding the house. These areas are perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining, while enjoying a beautiful sunset or sunrise.

To the front of the house a path is flanked by rosemary and laid to lawn. There is also a wild garden and various fruit trees including apple, pear and cherry. Also outside, the property includes a small paddock currently used for donkeys. There is a barn and a stable block, which are perfect for storage and a stunning shepherds hut, which is currently used as an office and is supplied with mains electricity and broadband (via cable) from the house.
