Description

Hallway, sitting room, open plan kitchen/dining room, utility room and cloakroom. Bedroom one with en-suite shower room, three further bedrooms and bathroom. Double garage and workshop. Artist's studio. Outbuildings including summer house, greenhouse and stores. Superb, mature gardens of 1.4 acres.  

Location Ashmeads is located in a wonderful position off a small country road within the village of Sudbourne, which is classified as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The property is located next to Suffolk Wildlife Trust's Captain's Wood, which is a nature reserve consisting of 150 acres of woodland and grassland with ancient trees and wild flowers. Sudbourne itself is home to All Saints Church, a Baptist Chapel and village hall. The village is located just 2 miles from Orford, which has much to offer in terms of shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. It also boasts the Pump Street Bakery, which was a finalist in the BBC Food and Farming Awards, and Butley Orford Oysterage which is run by the Pinney family. There are various pubs including The King's Head, the Jolly Sailor and The Crown and Castle. The village has a distinctive twelfth century castle and in addition is St Bartholomew's Church. There is sailing on the Ore River and dining cruises on the Lady Florence.

Within 3 miles is the world famous Snape Maltings Concert Hall, together with the acclaimed retail complex and Plough & Sail Inn, located on the River Alde. There are wonderful walks within the area, both along the river to Aldeburgh and Iken, and in the nearby forest. The thriving seaside town of Aldeburgh, which is just 9 miles away, benefits from national and local shops, as well as a fantastic range of restaurants.

There is a railway station in the market town of Saxmundham, which is approximately 7 miles away. Here there are also Waitrose and Tesco supermarkets.  

Description Ashmeads is understood to have been constructed in the mid-1980s and is a Scandia-Hus, which is of timber framed Swedish design. It was state of the art when it was built, with its high levels of insulation and triple-glazed windows and doors. It has brick elevations under a pantile roof. Whilst there is an oil-fired central heating system, the vendors believe, with the benefit of the wood burning stove in the sitting room, there are minimal running costs. The single-storey dwelling flows particularly well with a central kitchen/dining room, off which is a utility room. In addition is a 19' x 15' sitting room, cloakroom, four bedrooms (one of which is en-suite) and a bathroom.

The dwelling stands in the most wonderful mature gardens, which extend to 1.4 acres. There are a number of outbuildings, including a double garage, workshop and first class studio.
