Description
Admiralty House forms part of the former Orford Estate and features the original 17th century clock tower, which is still functioning.
Over the past few years the current owners have extensively updated and modernised the house to give modern conveniences whilst retaining lots of original character.
On the ground floor there are three good sized receptions, ideal for entertaining, with doors from the principal rooms opening onto the terrace and gardens. The kitchen features an Aga and bespoke cabinetry. There are two additional rooms, one has been used as an occasional bedroom, the other as a study. Completing the ground floor is a guest cloakroom and a utility room.
Upstairs, which can be accessed via two staircases, there are four bedrooms and three bathrooms, with the main bedroom having a sumptuous en suite and dressing area.
On the outside, the house is set behind a set of electronic gates which serve just two other homes. This leads up to a further gated parking area and the cart lodge. The partly walled gardens are a notable feature of the house, in all extending to around 0.84 of an acre.
Within this space are a selection of compartmentalised areas providing much interest with a feature pond, topiary, formal yew hedging and a summer house, which could be used a home office or gym.
The back part of garden is less formal, ideal as a childrens play area with a chicken coop set within a wooded section. A large patio wraps across the back of the house for outdoor entertainment.
