Bacton Grange is a substantial and elegant Victorian country house, occupying a private and established setting within grounds extending to approximately 6.5 acres, on the edge of the highly regarded Suffolk village of Bacton.

Set well back within its grounds and approached via a sweeping driveway, the house enjoys an immediate sense of arrival. Its attractive gabled elevations, tall chimney stacks and mellow brick façade reflect its period origins, creating a striking yet balanced architectural presence.

Extending to approximately 7,755 sq ft, the accommodation is arranged over three floors and offers a rare combination of scale, character and practicality. At the heart of the house lies an impressive 38ft kitchen/dining room, forming the natural hub of daily life, complemented by a series of elegant reception rooms including a generous sitting room, formal reception spaces, a library and a study. These rooms provide both flexibility and flow, equally suited to family living and entertaining on a larger scale.

The bedroom accommodation is centred around a well-proportioned principal suite with dressing room and en suite bathroom, alongside a number of further double bedrooms, several of which benefit from en suite facilities. The second floor provides additional bedrooms and adaptable space, ideal for guests, older children or those seeking to work from home.

The grounds are a particular feature of Bacton Grange, extending to approximately 6.5 acres and comprising sweeping lawns, mature specimen trees and a picturesque pond bordered by weeping willows. The surrounding countryside provides a beautiful backdrop, enhancing the sense of privacy and space.

The lifestyle offering is exceptional. A private tennis court and a heated outdoor swimming pool with adjoining pool house create an environment ideally suited to both relaxation and entertaining. A range of outbuildings further enhances the flexibility of the property.
