Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • 13 acres
  • Country House
  • Felixible accommodation
  • Equestrain facilities
Mettingham Castle Lodge is a substantial and attractive period property, in a delightful location, adjacent to the historic Mettingham Castle. The house has extremely flexible accommodation, and can offer up to 9 bedrooms. This has been used as a high quality and successful holiday let in the past, and there is further scope to develop the property if desired. Mettingham Castle Lodge would suit a multi-generational family, with parts of the house being suitable for integral secondary accommodation. The house is well presented and has some wonderful rooms with character over two floors. There is exposed brickwork, pamments, some stained glass windows and of particular note is the balcony which extends from the first floor bedrooms overlooking the remains of Mettingham Castle. This gives a spectacular backdrop and a real sense of drama. The house is of brick and rendered elevations under a tiled roof and has particularly light and airy accommodation, with a number of vaulted ceilings and Venetian windows.

Mettingham Castle Lodge is located on the Norfolk/Suffolk border, in gently rolling countryside between the villages of Mettingham and Ilketshall St Andrew. There is good access to the charming Waveney Valley towns of Bungay and Beccles, which offer a good range of amenities. Beccles has a regular rail service to London Liverpool Street via Ipswich, and Diss (16 miles) has a mainline rail station with direct train to London Liverpool Street. Southwold and the heritage Suffolk coast is about 12 miles to the east, and offers a comprehensive range of leisure pursuits and amenities.

Linked to the house is a large barn, currently used as a games room which has potential for alternative uses such as home office, gym or additional accommodation if required. Attached to this is another substantial outbuilding, suitable for American style stabling, or as a workshop or simply for dry storage. There is an apron of concrete, giving a parking and turning area whilst also giving access to the stable block, which has 4 loose boxes. This area is suitable for turning a trailer or lorry a round. To the west of the stables, and via a holding paddock, is the outdoor arena, which is sand based and is about 45m x 30m and post and rail fenced.

There are some wonderful trees at Mettingham Castle Lodge, which provide some charming parkland and add to the privacy and seclusion of the property. There are a number of paddocks making this an exceptional equestrian property, however there is also scope for other uses.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
