A rare opportunity to acquire an untouched Georgian residence, with 2 bedroom annexe, positioned on the Suffolk Heritage Coast within established grounds and paddocks extending to 17.5 acres.

Situated on the sought after Suffolk Heritage Coast and nestled within 17.5 acres of mature gardens and paddock land, Hollesley Lodge presents a very rare opportunity to acquire a non-listed and relatively untouched Georgian property requiring renovation.

Arranged over two storeys with accommodation between the main house and substantial annexe, the property extends to some 6,900 sq ft in all and presents rendered elevations with attractive sash windows, beneath hipped slate roofs.

The main property is elegantly proportioned with original reception room, sizeable first floor bedrooms, service rooms and cellarage. The building is in need of renovation.

The annexe which was completed in 2005, is independently serviced, and benefits from a separate driveway and parking. Extending to some 1,850 sq ft in total it offers a reception room measuring 36’ in length, together with kitchen, wet room and two first floor bedrooms, both with en suite bathrooms. This building is currently being run as a successful holiday let by the current owners of which further details are available upon request.

OUTSIDE

Approached over a carriageway drive and extending to approximately 17.5 acres in all, there are established gardens and copse surrounding the main property, with paddocks extending to some 12 acres along with a block built stable range providing six boxes, a manege and a series of outbuildings, with additional stable accommodation if required.

LOCATION

Hollesley Lodge stands in a wonderfully unspoiled rural corner of Suffolk between the villages of Shottisham and Hollesley, just over one mile from the Suffolk Heritage Coast, a designated area of outstanding natural beauty, which also includes the Forestry Commissions Rendlesham and Tunstall Forests, with their numerous paths and bridleways.

The nearby villages of Hollesley and Alderton provide a useful range of local facilities with both having village stores, together with a doctors’ surgery in Alderton and post office in Hollesley. The coast is accessible at Shingle Street (3 miles by road), the River Deben at both nearby Bawdsey and Ramsholt with the popular river front town of Woodbridge (8 miles) providing an array of shops and independent trading outlets, together with top performing schools in both the independent and state sector, restaurants, pubs, hotels, doctor’s surgery, library, gym, swimming pool, rail station and Riverside Theatre.

Woodbridge is located on the banks of the River Deben, which provides a wide range of water sports opportunities, along with further access to a variety of local sports and golf clubs.

The A12, which bypasses Woodbridge links to the county town of Ipswich (17 miles) and beyond connecting to London’s M25 and Stansted Airport, as well as Cambridge and the Midlands (via the A14). Regular branch line rail services call at Melton Station (7 miles) to connect to the main line services running from Ipswich to London’s Liverpool Street Station.
