Situated on a plot of a third of an acre (subject to survey) down a Designated Quiet Lane in the village of Kelsale just off the A12, lies this charming Grade II Listed Elizabethan Suffolk timber framed farmhouse which is believed to date from the late 16th Century. The farmhouse was extended in the 1980s and is full of original period features including exposed beams and timbers, Inglenook fireplaces and stable latch doors, and is constructed of traditional heavy timber framing with pantile roof. The gardens which wrap around the farmhouse are a particular selling feature and are well-stocked with an abundance of trees, shrubs and flowers with a fantastic little foot bridge that crosses a brook; the farmhouse is accessed via a double five bar gate and comes with a detached timber framed garage with adjoining workshop, both of which are incredibly spacious and provide the potential to convert into a good size annexe (subject to planning permission). As agents, we recommend the earliest possible viewing to fully appreciate the location and the size of the accommodation on offer which comprises entrance hall; lounge and family / dining room which both have wood burners set within impressive Inglenook fireplaces; study / ground floor bedroom; cloakroom; kitchen / breakfast room with handmade eye and base units; useful utility room; first floor landing; shower room; three double bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite bathroom; and on the top floor are two further bedrooms, one of which is a double.

The village of Kelsale lies approximately one mile from the charming market town of Saxmundham offering excellent access by rail and road to many of the nearby 'must see' places to visit along the coast. Saxmundham has a busy high street and boasts a number of cafés, pubs and restaurants, a diverse selection of independent shops, Waitrose and Tesco, and General Post Office. The pretty coastal town of Aldeburgh, seaside village of Thorpeness, and the renowned Snape Maltings are all under ten miles from Kelsale; and Rendlesham Forest is under fifteen miles away.
