Description
A gorgeous four-bedroom farmhouse with stunning uninterrupted views across the Stour valley. Equestrian facilities and panoramic countryside views – set within 3.5 acres (sts).
Enjoying an exceptional position at the end of a private drive, Smallbridge Farmhouse is beautifully presented throughout and offers three generous reception rooms, a bespoke farmhouse-style kitchen with granite worktops, AGA and larder, adjoining breakfast room, utility and cloakroom. The principal sitting room enjoys dual-aspect views with French doors opening onto terraces and gardens, while the dining room features a full-height bay window and open fireplace. Upstairs, the principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room and dressing area, with two further bedrooms and a family bathroom completing the first floor. A versatile fourth bedroom occupies the second floor.
Attached to the house is a large garage that could be converted into additional accommodation or annexe subject to the necessary consent.
Outside the well-planned stable yard includes three loose boxes, a tack room/feed store and hay barn, with two post-and-rail paddocks extending beyond. The formal gardens provide complete privacy, featuring lawns, fruit trees, raised beds and a greenhouse, while two discreet banks of solar panels enhance the property’s energy efficiency.
Nestled within the picturesque Stour Valley, Smallbridge Farmhouse occupies an enviable position amidst some of Suffolk’s most attractive countryside. The surrounding landscape offers a quintessentially English setting of rolling fields, meandering rivers and traditional hedgerows, all easily accessible via quiet lanes and bridleways ideal for walking, riding and cycling. Despite its rural tranquillity, the property remains within easy reach of nearby villages and market towns offering a wide range of amenities, schools and leisure facilities.
