Spectacularly presented and steeped in history, this striking detached house is located within the heart of Halesworth, a charming market town only 10 miles from Southwold and the Suffolk Heritage Coast and its endless walking routes for the waggy-tailed family members. Large groups of friends and family will love the games room and two lounges.
Thought to date back to the 16th century, this spacious 10-bed house takes you on a journey through time, boasting original exposed beams, timber floors and tiles as well as classic antler embellishments. Downstairs, two living rooms offer plenty of space for socialising or catching up with a good boxset. Choose from plush sofas in front of a roaring wood burner where furry tummies can get toasty or for a more formal affair, head into the other living space, furnished with a writing desk and a door leading out to the carefully manicured lawn. Hounds will be happy bounding through this enormous space and will love picking which of the five themed rooms to curl up in. The ‘Old England’ bedroom sits on the ground floor and plays host to a king-size bed and matching shower room. Continue to the first floor where the first master bedroom is decked out in luxurious blues and golds, with oversized lamps and a mirrored wardrobe, whereas down the hallway you’ll find ‘The Grand Room’, a cosy twin room with a low, sloping ceiling. Wash off muddy paws in the free-standing roll-top bath and rainfall shower in the family bathroom on this floor. For endless football table competitions, follow the cottage-style stairs up to the next level, leading to a games room for the big and small kids among you. Outside, your dogs will enjoy stretching their legs in the garden or you can light the BBQ and toast to your countryside getaway.
Stroll less than half a mile from the property to find the watering holes and little shops of Halesworth, which offers historic architecture and a pedestrianised thoroughfare centred around independent shops. For nature enthusiasts, drive 10 miles to RSPB Minsmere Nature Reserve; winding pathways, wetland, woods and nature trails are guaranteed to make your life-long companions go barking mad.
