The Property
Entering the property at the rear in true 'Suffolk' style, we are welcomed by the stunning garden room, where the unique character and attention to detail we find throughout this historic home are instantly apparent, a brick and pamment floor lines the space whilst our eye is drawn to the impressive grape vine which provides a delightful crop every year. This room has been hub for entertaining and leads seamlessly into the kitchen and gardens. Quarry tiled flooring lines the kitchen and flows through to both the dining room and walk-in-pantry. The kitchen itself is fitted with a vast range of hand made units that are complimented by solid wooden work surfaces. Painted exposed beams line the vaulted ceiling whilst the sink is set below a leaded window looking onto the garden. The dining room flows open plan from the kitchen and we pass the substantial pantry space. This delightful room was formally the smoke house and offers snippets of its history whilst providing a superb formal dining space. Set to the front of the property the sitting room has been opened into the original shop frontage to provide an exceptional living space. The original stairs wrap around the fireplace where we find a wood burning stove whilst a most discreet fitted lift provides inclusive access to the first floor. On the first floor the lift rises to a large landing/study area, formally a bedroom this room offers a versatile space that leads to both of the first floor bedrooms whilst stairs rise to the upper floor. The first of the bedrooms is a generous double set to the front aspect where we find the original staircase returning to the sitting room. At the rear the excellent master bedroom enjoys and en-suite bathroom and two windows looking onto the gardens and river beyond. On the upper floor we find an exceptional guest bedroom suite boasting superb proportions, a wealth of storage and and second en-suite shower room.
The Annexe
Situated in the grounds is this stunning red brick 'former' barn which has been lovingly converted to provide a separate dwelling. Stepping in on the ground floor we are welcomed by a surprising space that provides, living, dining and full kitchen facilities. A door enters from the main gardens whilst to the front a door leads out to the private courtyard space. Stairs rise from here to the first floor where we step into the sitting room or potential second bedroom depending on how one wishes to configure the space. Two windows take in the river views at the front and a vaulted ceiling adds to the space on the first floor. Stepping to the rear we pass the shower room before entering the double bedroom, windows to either side fill the room with light whilst an exposed brick wall offers a superb feature.
Outside
Approaching the property via Bridge Street we are greeted by this striking home where the original front door and historic shop front lead from directly from the pavement. In 'true' Suffolk style our vendors enter via the rear where a right of way over the adjoining driveway leads us to a personal gate entering the garden and at the rear double gates provide vehicular access to the parking area. At the rear the garden is a wonder with various areas of paving that weave through the well stocked cottage style beds enjoying colour and scent at every step. From the main courtyard we enter the property via the garden room whilst part of the lower level of the barn that is now the annexe offer a large store room and wash room used by the main house. Following the path to the foot of the garden we find the off road parking area whilst stepping to the boundary we find the most peaceful seating area situated looking onto and giving direct access to the River Waveney. Outside the entrance to the annexe a generous courtyard offers a private garden should this be used a separate dwelling.
