Hundon, Sudbury, Suffolk

A handsome country house with open views, generous gardens and the kind of rooms made for a busy family life.

There is something wonderfully unassuming about Spring House. From Chimney Street, its long, white rendered façade and traditional sash style windows give little away, but step inside and the house unfolds into a series of warm, characterful spaces, each with its own sense of purpose. At its heart is a generously proportioned kitchen and breakfast room. Exposed beams run overhead, while a range cooker anchors the space a room that feels made for slow Sunday mornings, muddy boots and long lunches that stretch well into the afternoon. Beyond lies a useful run of ancillary rooms, including a laundry and breakfast room, making the practicalities of family life feel pleasingly tucked away.

The principal reception rooms are arranged across the front of the house. The sitting room is particularly inviting, with a wood-burning stove set beneath a dark fireplace and bookshelves lining the walls an ideal spot to retreat to with a good book as the evenings draw in. Elsewhere, the dining room provides a more formal setting for gathering friends and family, while a further reception room offers the flexibility for a playroom, study or quieter snug.

Upstairs, the house continues to surprise with its scale. Four bedrooms are arranged across the first floor, including a particularly charming principal bedroom with exposed timber beams and a fireplace. There is a softness to these rooms; they feel comfortably removed from the bustle of downstairs, with views across the garden and surrounding countryside.

Outside, Spring House comes into its own. The garden has been created as a series of spaces for living outdoors: a decked terrace for morning coffee, planted borders, Victorian green house and lawns for children to play, and a sociable seating area beside an outdoor oven. Beyond the garden, the landscape opens out to fields and mature trees a constant reminder of the house's peaceful Suffolk setting where you will only be overlooked by the horses.

A traditional outbuilding sits alongside the garden, offering plenty of potential for storage, a workshop or, subject to the necessary consents, a more imaginative future use extending the kitchen.

Hundon is a village with a strong sense of community, surrounded by the rolling countryside of the Suffolk and Essex border. The market towns of Clare, Haverhill and Sudbury are all within easy reach, while the surrounding lanes offer miles of walks, cycling routes and the simple pleasure of being properly immersed in the countryside.

Spring House is a home with room to grow into a place for family suppers, summer afternoons in the garden and winter evenings beside the fire, all set against the quiet rhythm of village life.
