Finningham, Stowmarket, Suffolk IP14

Amberley is the epitome of the classic Grade II Suffolk country home, timeless in appearance, generous in scale and rich in character. Its handsome white rendered elevations and tall brick chimneys create immediate presence, whilst inside the property reveals a wealth of retained period detail including exposed timbers, fireplaces and beautifully balanced rooms with excellent ceiling heights. The house extends to approximately 2,258 sq ft of highly versatile accommodation, arranged over three floors, offering both graceful reception space and practical family living.

Ground Floor – Warmth & Welcome

A generous entrance hall immediately conveys the tone of the house, inviting, characterful and comfortable. The principal reception rooms are beautifully proportioned:

• A splendid sitting room (17'1" x 17'1") centred around a substantial open fireplace - the natural heart of the home

• An elegant dining room ideal for formal entertaining and family gatherings

• A recently modernised kitchen, thoughtfully designed with extensive cabinetry and workspace

• An outstanding walk-in larder, increasingly rare and immensely practical

• Utility room and cloakroom/WC The layout provides excellent flow between rooms, combining traditional formality with modern-day usability.

First & Second Floors – Space to Grow

The first floor offers a particularly impressive principal bedroom (17'1" x 17'1"), a calm and well-proportioned retreat enjoying views over the gardens. Two further bedrooms and a family bathroom complete this level.

A secondary staircase rises to the second floor, where a generous landing leads to two further bedrooms, ideal for guests, independent teenagers, or those seeking dedicated work-from-home space. The flexibility of the upper floors ensures the house can adapt effortlessly to changing family needs.

Gardens & Grounds – A Private Setting

Approached via a gated driveway, Amberly enjoys privacy and maturity rarely found within a village setting.

The gardens, extending to approximately 0.25 acres, are a genuine highlight, sweeping lawns framed by established trees and specimen planting, creating year-round interest and a wonderful sense of seclusion.

Outbuildings include:

• A detached double garage (17'3" x 14'3")

• A charming period barn (approx. 5.20m x 3.50m), currently used for storage but offering potential for alternative use, subject to the necessary permissions
