Description
Occupying a wonderful, tucked away position in the popular and enchanting village of Thorpeness, The Turret House is a particularly iconic and substantial house, which has been retained by the same family for over 60 years.
The Turret House has handsome rendered elevations with intricately carved pilasters, casement windows and wooden shutters; the iconic turret occupies the north-west corner of the house. Internally, the accommodation flows exceptionally well and comprises wonderfully proportioned, light filled rooms.
The front door opens into a useful glazed porch which leads through to the reception hall, with doors off to the sitting room, family room and kitchen/dining room; stairs lead up to the bedroom accommodation on the first floor.
The capacious sitting room has a charming wood burning stove and is flooded with natural light from south-facing windows; sliding doors lead out to the terrace and garden. The family room provides a further reception room.
The bespoke kitchen has quartz work surfaces and oak cabinetry, an integrated wine fridge and Bosch dishwasher; the kitchen opens out to a spacious dining area which looks over the garden. A door leads to the utility room and through to the lavatory.
The first floor consists of four double bedrooms, two of which have en suites, and the family bathroom. The elegantly proportioned principal bedroom is particularly impressive, with views over the garden and a superb en suite with twin basins, roll top bath and separate shower.
There is a particularly generous loft space, presently used for storage, which subject to necessary consents has scope for development into further accommodation.
The Turret House has a beautiful, south-facing, mature garden. Immediately to the rear of the building is a terrace ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining, with a step down to the lawn.
