Once a prominent farmhouse responsible for much of its surrounding land, Falkenham Hall is an impressive, Grade II Listed family home situated beside the church in the picturesque, rural village of Falkenham; a parish submerged in history, and looking out across the Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB. Dating in part to both the 16th and 17th Centuries, this fine residence offers a wealth of character throughout; high ceilings, open fireplaces, sash windows and a beautiful walled garden to name just a few, coupled with its position, truly creates a beautiful home ideal for modern family life.
The light and spacious, double-height entrance hall with wood block floor leads through into the four, generously-sized reception rooms; a dining room ideal for entertaining, with large, sash window, French doors to outside and wood-burning stove; a magnificent drawing room with wood-burning stove and large, floor-to-ceiling windows with doors leading to the walled-garden; the cosy sitting room with open fireplace, and finally the study; also with wood-burning stove. At the heart of the house is the imposing kitchen/family room with Aga and central island. Ideal for a growing family, the room allows for both a large table and sofa, creating an adaptable, flexible space, with doors leading onto the terrace, as well as to the boiler room and rear lobby with access to the outbuildings.
On the first floor, the light and part galleried landing provides access to both the principal bedroom and guest bedroom, which share a Jack and Jill en suite bathroom. There is potential to utilise the guest bedroom as a dressing room, to create a principal suite. Four further double bedrooms, family bathroom and wet room provide generous accommodation to the first floor. Further stairs lead up to a second floor, where there are two attic bedrooms along with useful storage rooms; subject to the necessary consents, these could offer potential for further accommodation.

This fine home is positioned at the heart of Falkenham; a rural village nestled within the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, perfect for the sailing enthusiast to take advantage of the fabulous Coastline and the many marinas including Levington, Woolverstone, Waldringfield and Woodbridge. Those that prefer to explore by foot, the River Deben is accessible along footpaths, direct from the house; and for the golfing enthusiasts, there are a number of fantastic golf courses nearby.
Despite its secluded position, the village is practically placed, being only a short distance from Suffolk’s county town and all the amenities it offers, as well as having excellent road and rail links. A very good choice of schools, in both the private and state sectors, are also within the vicinity. The situation of Falkenham Hall is ideal for those wanting the peace and tranquillity of country and coastal living, whilst being within a village and only a short distance from all the transportation links and amenities one would want.
The property is approached via a gravel driveway, which sweeps in front of the house to a larger, turning area with parking for many cars. There are various outbuildings, including a double bay cart lodge, barn, workshop and a number of stores. The majority of the boundary is walled, providing additional privacy. The garden itself is predominantly west-facing and is mainly laid to lawn, with planted borders and areas of terrace perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining. A gate leads directly into the churchyard.
