7 bedroom detached house for sale

Georgian elegance set within 10 acres of expansive grounds

Description

Reedham Old Hall is an elegant Georgian country house set within a delightful position opposite the village church in the pretty and popular village of Reedham. The property retains the grand features of the period and this is evident from the moment you step inside the door and into the large entrance hall.

Offering in excess of 5000sq ft of superb, family accommodation, the property makes for a remarkable home. Of particular note is the stunning 30ft x 16ft dining/music room, complete with fireplace and marble surround, sash windows, wooden floors and the typical high ceilings. This room embodies the social aspect of a fine country house and you can immediately imagine using the room for large gatherings.
The formal drawing room, again with fireplace features excellent natural light thanks to three sash windows to the front aspect and double doors out into the gardens.
A kitchen/dining room makes for ideal everyday living, with a layout that suits modern wishes but retaining the style and functionality associated with the period. A useful utility room, Cloakroom/boot room and a characterful cellar round of the ground levels of the house.

An essential part of modern living, the home office is perfectly placed up its own set of stairs allowing for the ideal place to work from home and away from potential distractions. This could subject to a buyers preference be used for a variety of uses such as an additional bedroom, TV room or a playroom if desired.

To the first floor are four double bedrooms, well served via a four piece family bathroom and two en suites to both the principal and guest bedroom. The second floor features two further bedrooms and another shower room as well as a substantial living space that worked as an excellent games room for our current vendors. This could be an ideal retreat for an older child still living at home and looking to have more independence with a bedroom, living and bathroom space to themselves on the top floor.

Outside
The property is approached via wrought iron gates leading to a gravel parking area for numerous vehicles. For secure parking there is both a more modern double garage as well as two garages created from the former coach house. A stabling block and wood store as well as two first floor rooms are adjoined to the coach house giving useful outdoor storage. In all the property sits within an expansive plot of about 10.43 acres consisting of both formal gardens and paddocks. Perfect for entertaining and family life there is both a tennis court and swimming pool as well as a covered area which is well placed for outdoor cooking. The current owners have utilised several points of the garden to create seating areas to enjoy the privacy and fine views on offer.
