Outside - Formal

The position of this amazing plot is second to none. Indeed within Suffolk, it is quite rare to overlook a rolling valley with outstanding south-facing views beyond. The overall feeling of security within the electronically operated gated access is a valuable benefit and there is extensive car parking/garaging.

There is a secondary original vehicular access about 100 metres to the western side of the main entrance. This road provides access to the far western gardens that extend to around 4.5 acres in addition to the 2.5 acres of formally landscaped grounds.

The formal gardens have been meticulously maintained and comprise large south-facing patio areas, neatly manicured lawns with carefully thought out seating areas benefitting from amazing valley views, all interspersed with mature shrub and flower-shaped borders. There is a castle, a sun deck with summer house and a lawn tennis court.

Separate fruit, vegetable and herb gardens. Many useful outbuildings are built to a high standard offering a variety of flexible uses, including potting shed, greenhouse with vines and tractor storage with automatic doors.

Outside - Woodlands

On the western side, the 4.5 acres of gardens are less formal, however, offer a truly tranquil experience as you meander and explore this amazing paradise. As aforementioned this expanse of open woodland has vehicular access - separate from the main residence.

It is interspersed with heavily timbered woodland (providing winter fuel), winding pathways, and natural ponds - this area just has to be experienced.

Larks' Hill Hide is an octagonal structure within the woodland offering a raised resting point to admire the local wildlife. Members of the public have historically been able to visit this site as part of The National Gardens Scheme with pictures of local bird, wildlife and plant species being on display within the gardens.

Larks' Hill is not only known as a highlight of the National Gardens Scheme but also for the incredibly important find of a dinosaur fossil on the site. Links to two articles are below -
