A charming period home set on a generous plot just under half an acre, located a short drive from Snape and within easy reach of Woodbridge, Aldeburgh and Orford beach. The property offers excellent outdoor space, ample off-road parking and the added benefit of substantial outbuildings.

The approach is via a traditional five-bar gate opening onto a sweeping driveway providing parking for several vehicles. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn and framed by mature trees, shrubs and planting, creating a strong sense of space and privacy. External features include panelled fencing, an outside tap, oil tank and oil-fired boiler. Please note that parking is not permitted on the lawned areas.

The main house is a characterful period property retaining many original features. The entrance hallway includes a brick floor and useful storage cupboard. The kitchen benefits from sash windows to the front and side and is fitted with a range of units, electric hob with extractor, integrated oven, single drainer sink and a walk-in pantry. The kitchen has recently undergone improvement works, with final decoration due to be completed. As a result, some plaster may be visible within the marketing photographs. A separate breakfast area sits to the front with sash window and wood flooring.

The dining room enjoys sash windows to both the front and rear, real wood flooring and built-in storage, making it well suited to everyday dining or entertaining. The fireplace in the dining room is decorative only. The lounge provides a comfortable living space with a side-facing window, wood flooring and a feature fireplace. The living room fireplace may be used with the landlord’s permission, subject to the chimney being swept prior to first use.

A ground floor cloakroom completes the downstairs accommodation, fitted with a low-level WC, wash basin, radiator and heated towel rail.

Upstairs, the landing leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms, all featuring sash windows and real wood flooring. The bathroom is a generous size and includes a walk-in shower, panelled bath, WC, wash basin, storage cupboards and a combination of sash and double-glazed windows.

The property is further enhanced by a good-sized barn-style outbuilding and a separate workshop-style building, offering excellent storage or workspace options.
