The Street, Bedingfield, Suffolk, IP23

This splendid 3 storey, 5 double bedroom house offers first class accommodation and extends to just shy of 3000 sq feet excluding the garaging. Beautifully presented, all the expected ingredients are on offer such as study space, family/breakfast room, spacious hallway and landings, utility plus 3 bath/shower facilities. This is a seriously good house.

The Lodge at Bedingfield is a truly one off detached house, of considerable quality and forethought, exceptional proportion and a square footage of around 2858 sq ft, excluding the garaging arrangement. The 3 storey design is beautifully laid out no doubt due to the central atrium with stairs winding between each of the floors. Consequently, each level benefits from its own 'hub' most notably as one enters the house on the ground floor and the wonderful reception hall along with the roomy first floor landing. The top floor unlike so many three storey homes has been perfectly accommodated within the roof space avoiding the so often found problem of reduced headroom and restricted movement. The whole house works particularly well. Of further note is the size of both the reception areas (including kitchen with its adjoining breakfast room) and bedrooms. I challenge anyone to show me a better sized master bedroom.

The current owners have created this marvellous home having purchased it 2016. Photovoltaic panels now adorn the south west facing roof having been installed in 2020 with otherwise, an oil fired Thermecon boiler supplying domestic hot water and radiators throughout.

Likewise, the gardens have been equally well attended to with many specimen herbaceous plants and shrubs along with a variety of fruit trees.

Location

Bedingfield lies conveniently between Eye, Framlingham and Debenham. With the network of surrounding lanes and roads, it is within easy reach of the larger towns in the area and the major roads of A14 and A140 enabling access to the wider region. Bedingfield comprises two village areas divided by traditional Suffolk farmland these being Bedingfield Street, which was the commercial centre of the village in years gone by, plus the settlement around the church. It is here where the village congregates for village events at the Village Hall. The property itself sits and just on the edge of Bedingfield Street, towards the Church end of the village and has open farmland running up to the north eastern boundary. As can be seen from the aerial images, the area is surrounded by open countryside.

Direction

Bedingfield Street is easily reached from any direction. From Eye for example, follow the B1078 through the town heading south east towards Debenham. At Rishangles, turn left in front of the prominent Baptist Chapel. Follow this lane to a T junction where a right turn will take you to Bedingfield Street. Having passed the Water Tower, take the next left and The Lodge will be found immediately on the right.
