If you’re planning a special get-together of friends or family, look no further than this unique property. Thought to date back to at least the 16th century, the house is located less than half a mile from pubs and shops in Halesworth, a charming market town with interesting historic buildings and a pedestrianised thoroughfare centred around independent shops. Southwold and the Suffolk Heritage Coast is 10 miles away, as is Minismere Nature Reserve, which has woods, wetland, nature trails and a tearoom.
The house retains original features such as exposed beams, timber floors and original tiles alongside statement features such as antler chandeliers. The bespoke kitchen includes a granite-effect worktop and leads to a dining area seating ten people. The first lounge has large comfortable sofas set alongside a wood burner and the more formal second lounge is furnished with a mahogany dresser and a writing desk, as well as a door leading out into the large garden. The ‘Old England’ bedroom on the ground floor can be either a twin or a king-size bedroom and has a shower room next door. On the first floor, the first master bedroom has a French theme with gold accents, oversized lamps and a mirrored wardrobe, and ‘The Grand Room’ features a statement mirror and ornamental fireplace along with an en-suite shower room. The ‘Ship Room’ has maritime references and directional lamps that give the impression of searchlights at dusk, and ‘The Garrett Room’ is a cosy twin bedroom with a low, sloping ceiling. The family bathroom includes stone floors, a free-standing roll-top bath and a rain shower. A steep set of cottage-style stairs leads to the attic, which has been set up as a games room. Stairs from the main hall lead down to an underground den with low ceilings that’s perfect for pre-dinner drinks or late-night socialising.
The raised deck area in the large garden is perfect for a BBQ or to dine alfresco, and you can play ball games on the lawn.
