Description
The semi-rural village of Somersham is surrounded by farmland and offers facilities including primary school, renowned pub/restaurant, well stocked village shop and regular bus route to Ipswich. The A14 trunk road is only three miles from the village of Somersham giving access to the north and south trunk roads. The larger village of Bramford is approximately 3 miles distance offering a wide range of facilities including Co-op supermarket. The Suffolk County town of Ipswich is approximately five miles distant offering a much wider range of facilities including mainline railway link to London's Liverpool Street. The A14 trunk road offers access in an easterly direction to the A12, Ipswich and Felixstowe and in a westerly direction to Bury St Edmunds, Cambridge and on to the Midlands.
The Old Griffin represents a substantial red brick period house with sash and bay windows, extended to the rear, formerly the village public house which we believe ceased trading in the 1960's. The extensive accommodation has been very recently refurbished, upgraded and re-modelled to provide a stunning family home with balanced accommodation on both the ground and first floors. Particular features include an amazing live-in kitchen/dining/family room with newly fitted kitchen, bi-folding doors and roof lantern provide good amounts of natural light incorporating family snug with wood burner. There are two further generous reception rooms, both with feature fireplaces and attractive bay windows to the front aspect. On the first floor a total of five generous bedrooms provide extensive bedroom accommodation with two en-suites and large family bathroom, all recently re-fitted throughout. The rear garden offers a good degree of seclusion and leads to an impressive outside games room which equally could be used as a studio or work from home office and a large period storage barn with potential. Internal viewing is essential to appreciate the style, quality and size of the accommodation.
