Location

Tens Oaks is located within strolling distance of the well supported village pub, The White Horse.  From the village, there are idyllic walks around the country lanes and footpaths.  Rendham has the advantage of being situated just 4 miles from the town of Framlingham, which is well known for its castle, shops and schools.  Saxmundham is only 3 miles away and is home to Tesco and Waitrose supermarkets, along with a railway station with direct trains to Ipswich and connecting services to London’s Liverpool Street Station.  The coast, with destinations such as Thorpeness and Aldeburgh, is 10 miles away.  The renowned Snape Maltings Concert Hall is 7 miles.

Directions

From Framlingham, head eastbound on the B1119 (Saxmundham Road), passing through the village of Sweffling and entering Rendham.  Passing the church on the right, continue as if leaving the village, and take the turning on the left onto Sandy Lane.  The property can be found immediately on the left.

Description

Outside

The property is approached from the highway via a five-bar gate that leads to a gravelled driveway with concrete hardstanding and a prefabricated concrete garage that has double opening doors to the front and a large timber storage area to the side with three bays.  The garage has a personnel door to the rear and power and light connected.  A pathway leads from the parking area to the property, with a lawned garden to the front with established shrub and flower borders.  There is also a gated side access that takes you through willow and picket fence with laurel hedging to the rear garden.    

Immediately behind and to the side of the property is a gravelled seating area with established shrubs and flowers.  This leads to an area of lawn that sweeps round the property and contains a well-stocked wildlife pond with a bridge over.  A pathway runs behind hedging and fencing that bounds the property, with a further set of double opening gates that open onto the road.  Next to this is the oil tank, which is discretely hidden behind the hedge.   

Beyond the gravelled area to the rear of the property are areas of lawn and established fruit trees.  Under the canopy of an Indian bean tree is a shaded seating area.  This leads into a small copse with tunnels running through it.  Pathways lead through the copse to various areas of the garden.  In the corner of the garden is a detached timber-clad garden room with covered store to the side.  This would make a perfect hobby room or office, having power, light and internet connected.  Beyond this is an area of hardstanding where there are kennels that have never been used.  

A pathway returns to the copse and continues to an area which is a natural wet pond in the winter, but which often dries out in the summer.  This is bounded by hedging and fencing.  Throughout the garden are secret passages and seating areas.  There is also a timber summerhouse to the rear.
