Hessett, Suffolk

A beautifully reimagined and deceptive detached family house enjoying a peaceful village setting with views across heathland. All in 0.32-acre.


Occupying a wonderfully quiet position on the edge of Hessett, Heath Lodge is a beautifully transformed detached family house that has been extensively renovated and enlarged by the present owners since 2019. Contemporary styling sits comfortably alongside practical family living, with light-filled interiors, high-quality finishes and an effortless connection to the garden and open countryside beyond.

The accommodation extends to approximately 2,158 sq ft, with the garage increasing the overall footprint to around 2,458 sq ft, providing versatile and spacious accommodation comprising a full-length entrance hall with cloakroom, leading into beautifully proportioned living spaces that flow naturally from one room to another.

The central living area of the house incorporates living, dining and kitchen areas, open plan, but well-defined spaces. The kitchen has been individually crafted and with a substantial quartz-topped island with breakfast seating, complemented by generous cabinetry and storage, freestanding range cooker, integrated dishwasher and a seamless connection to the terrace through full-width bi-folding doors.

The family room and dining area lead from the kitchen, with wood-burning stove and double aspect windows to the front. A separate study offers an ideal home office, while the utility room provides practical everyday storage.

The sitting room is a particular highlight, with its vaulted ceiling, timber flooring, wide glazed doors and views across the garden, an impressive yet relaxed family space.

A double bedroom is positioned on the ground floor alongside a luxurious beautifully equipped bath/shower room, offering excellent flexibility for guests, older relatives or independent teenagers.

The first floor has been thoughtfully arranged around three well-proportioned bedrooms, including an impressive principal suite with fitted wardrobes and a stylish en suite bathroom with separate shower.
