5 bedroom detached house

Spacious Barn Conversion with Spectacular River Views

Description

Hill Farm Barn is an exceptionally spacious and well positioned barn conversion of enormous character. Internally the barn has
a double height galleried reception hall with multifuel stove, exposed beams and parquet flooring. The kitchen/ breakfast room has a 4 oven Aga,
Butler sink and exposed original Suffolk white brick floor. The accommodation is superbly laid out with an extremely spacious first floor sitting room, benefiting from a fully glazed gable providing spectacular views over the River Alde from Iken to Aldeburgh. The property benefits from superfast "FTTP" broadband providing exceptionally fast internet speeds. Outside, there is a very spacious sheltered and part walled courtyard garden to the rear and to one side lies a spacious detached building that requires completion & could easily be converted into an annexe subject to planning. The potential annexe is remarkably flexible with a large sitting room with shower room on the ground floor and two spacious rooms on the first floor. There is another room which could be easily incorporated to form a second large reception room if required. This building would be ideal as secondary accommodation, a holiday let or provide ample space to work from home away from the main house. The gardens of just over 1 acre lie to the south and east of the house and there is planning permission in place to install a swimming pool. There is a substantial original outbuilding which has been converted into a large double cart lodge, garaging and store room beside which is a gravelled driveway with ample
parking.

Location

Hill Farm Barn is situated in a highly sought-after peaceful position on the south banks of the River Alde. There are idyllic walks from the house down to the banks of the river and provide some of the the most beautiful walks in Suffolk. You can also walk back through the village towards Snape Maltings which benefits from a public house, café, restaurant and the famous concert hall. The footpath also accesses Iken Beach, a charming sandy beach where you can swim in the river at high tide. The nearby village of Orford is set further along the River and benefits from a village shop, two public houses, a delicatessen, church, restaurant and sailing club. There is a wide range of sporting facilities in the area with a number of good golf courses within easy reach as well as sailing on the rivers Alde and Deben. The nearby town of Saxmundham provides a range of day to day facilities including a bank, two supermarkets, a high street with a variety of shops and a train station. There are excellent schools in both the state and private sectors in Woodbridge and Framlingham.
