The Street, Little Bealings IP13

Nestled in the picturesque village of Little Bealings, near the historic riverside town of Woodbridge, this exceptional country residence captures the essence of refined rural living. Surrounded by the unspoilt Suffolk countryside, it offers a rare blend of seclusion, character, and modern comfort. For those seeking an escape from the demands of city life — yet remaining within easy reach of thriving local amenities and fast rail links to London — this is a home of unique appeal.

The main house presents an elegant and thoughtfully designed layout that flows seamlessly throughout. At its heart is a striking open-plan kitchen, dining, and sitting area — a sociable and welcoming space that showcases tiled flooring and a double-sided woodburning stove, allowing both warmth and atmosphere to be enjoyed across the entire space. This leads into a glass conservatory that offers panoramic views over the beautifully maintained south-west facing garden and is fitted with an electric roof blind, providing shade and comfort during the warmer months.

The ground floor features a generous four-piece bathroom, complete with a walk-in shower and classic roll-top bath — a luxurious space designed for relaxation. Two well-proportioned double bedrooms also occupy the ground level, along with a utility room and boot room that make everyday living both practical and stylish.

Upstairs, two further double bedrooms continue the theme of light and space. Velux roof lights bring in ample natural light across the upper level, including a tranquil landing area that lends itself perfectly to a quiet reading nook or home study. The fourth bedroom is currently arranged as a dressing room, complete with fitted cupboards offering bespoke storage.

The outbuildings further enhance the lifestyle appeal of the property. A large workshop and a dedicated office space support modern working-from-home needs, while a self-contained annex — currently used as a home gym — includes its own kitchen and bathroom, offering flexibility for guest accommodation or potential rental income.

Externally, the grounds are as impressive as the interior. Set in approximately one-third of an acre, the garden offers a variety of thoughtfully designed seating areas, with a mix of patio and decked spaces ideal for entertaining or peaceful enjoyment. A greenhouse caters to garden enthusiasts, while in one secluded corner of the plot sits a charming covered pergola with power — the perfect setting for al fresco dining or a quiet evening retreat. Ample parking is available, with space for up to six vehicles across the driveway, an area in front of the workshop, and a single garage. The property is also equipped with an EV charger, ensuring convenience for electric vehicle owners.

The home has been well maintained and tastefully updated, with recent improvements including newly replaced black windows and a new front door. Heating is provided by an oil-fired central system, combining efficiency with the timeless warmth of the wood burner.

Located in Little Bealings, one of Suffolk’s most desirable villages, the home enjoys a prime position within a peaceful, well-connected rural setting. Woodbridge is just moments away, offering excellent independent shops, restaurants, schools and rail links. With miles of countryside and the Suffolk coast within easy reach, this home delivers a rare combination of charm, space, and modern sophistication — the perfect retreat for those seeking to enjoy the very best of country living.
