6 bed country house for sale

Mellis Road, Thrandeston IP21

Occupying an excellent position in the picturesque rural countryside on the North Suffolk borders, this property is situated on the outskirts of the village of Thrandeston. The location offers a peaceful, countryside setting without being isolated and boasts stunning, uninterrupted views of the unspoilt countryside. Positioned midway between the villages of Thrandeston and Mellis, both highly sought after, Mellis stands out for its active local community, excellent amenities, renowned primary school and popular public house. The historic market town of Diss is just 7 miles to the north, providing a wide range of amenities, including shops, restaurants, and facilities, as well as a mainline railway station offering regular/direct services to London Liverpool Street and Norwich.

The house, originally believed to date back to the 1800s, has been significantly enhanced, upgraded and extended under the meticulous care of the current owners. Throughout, the property is impeccably presented, showcasing a superb decorative order and thoughtfully laid-out accommodation with generously proportioned rooms. Careful attention has been given to preserving the character of this period property with enhancements designed to complement its heritage. Features such as oak brace and batten doors, oak-framed windows and modern yet tastefully sympathetic fixtures and fittings, seamlessly blend tradition with contemporary style.

The accommodation spans an impressive 2,000 sq ft offering versatile living space. On the ground floor, there is a spacious bedroom and an adjoining shower room, providing convenient living options. A standout feature is the principal reception room, where vaulted ceilings enhance the sense of grandeur and space, complemented by a mezzanine floor adding further character. The kitchen and dining room are equally generous in size, offering stunning far-reaching views of the countryside. Additional ground floor features include a striking reception hall and a well-equipped utility room. The first floor presents three further bedrooms, with the principal bedroom having the luxury of en-suite facilities. A separate family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms, ensuring ample convenience.

The installation of solar panels on the main property in recent years has proven highly beneficial. The panels, which are fully owned, have generated approximately £1000 in additional income which more than covered the annual electricity cost of £835 reducing energy bills.

The Annexe

The annexe offers additional accommodation that has been successfully operated as an Airbnb. Beautifully presented and in excellent condition, the property features a lounge, separate kitchen, two double bedrooms, and two bathrooms, including an en-suite to the master bedroom. During peak times, the annexe has generated up to £18,000 in a 12-month period. However, there is potential for even greater earnings, as the current owners have not operated it at full capacity.

Externally, the property is situated on an expansive 4.41-acre plot, featuring beautifully maintained formal gardens, a well-stocked fishing lake, and a variety of outbuildings.
