5 bed detached house for sale

Hardy House, Benton Street, Hadleigh IP7

A substantail village house presented to an exceptional standard together with wonderful landscaped gardens and extensive garaging

Previously two separate dwellings which merged in 2006 to its original form as a Suffolk Hall House, this impressive detached house dates to the 14th century.

Covering some 2,300 sq.ft, the accommodation provides an individual yet pleasing layout, with particular emphasis to all the principal rear rooms on both floors, which command fabulous westerly views over the entire garden with the Brett Valley beyond.

The current owners have made numerous improvements both externally and internally, which includes the reconfigured and recently updated Nouvelle kitchen, with work ‘island’ and numerous refitted units and integral appliances.

Further upgrades include stylishly fitted bathrooms which serve all six bedrooms, which are accessed via two independent stairs. If desired, the modern stud wall between bedroom five and the adjacent dressing room can be straightforwardly removed to form one larger bedroom.

Outside
The private, westerly facing garden is a particular feature, which is thoughtfully designed and beautifully presented which descend towards the Brett Valley. The current owners have adapted the immediate upper area to great effect, by extending the patio which now takes full advantage of the attractive westerly backdrop.

Vehicular access is via Tinkers Lane, providing parking for numerous cars which in turn gives access to a larger inner parking area. Beyond the carport and pergola is the detached triple garage and rear workshop, with roof terrace which utilises the outside space to great effect, whilst also screening 8 solar panels.

In all, the property covers some 0.26 acres.
