The ground floor accommodation centres around an impressive, double-height sitting room with galleried landing above, large central fireplace, quarry-tiled floor, inset ornate beamed ceiling and panelling to one end. Offering a fabulous space in which to relax or entertain, the room leads through into the dining area and kitchen to one end, and the part-panelled study to the other, offering views across the garden. The kitchen offers a comfortable space in which to create, with a range of cabinetry, a large freestanding central island, an Aga and ample space for dining, with a door leading to the fitted utility room with walk-in store and a stable door to outside.

On the first floor, which features a wealth of exposed wooden flooring, the galleried landing leads to a large principal bedroom with feature fireplace, dressing room and en suite bathroom. A further double bedroom, family shower room and useful cloakroom completes the first floor. A separate staircase rises to the second floor, which houses the property’s remaining double bedroom with walk-in store.

Planning
The vendor has recently consulted East Suffolk District Council for Pre-Application Advice for Internal alterations to provide a new staircase; Extension to link to existing garage to provide utility areas and a cloakroom; Conversion of existing garage to create a kitchen; First floor gable extension above existing pantry to provide staircase headroom and new bathroom. Of course, any scheme to extend would be subject to full planning approval, and prospective purchasers are advised that they should make their own enquiries of the local planning authority. Further information regarding the Pre-Application Advice is available upon request.
