Description

An exceptionally spacious and well presented five-bedroom detached residence, occupying an enviable position on the periphery of the highly regarded Suffolk village of Boxford, enjoying outstanding views across adjoining farmland and the picturesque Box Valley. Originally constructed during the 1930s and subsequently enhanced by a substantial two storey rear extension, the property now offers an extensive and highly versatile accommodation schedule extending to approximately 2,750 sq ft (250 sq m), arranged over two floors. Of particular note are the generously proportioned reception rooms, impressive principal bedroom suite and extensive grounds, incorporating beautifully established formal gardens of approximately 0.65 acres together with an adjoining paddock of approximately 1.3 acres. The property represents a rarely available opportunity to acquire a substantial family home combining extensive accommodation, established grounds and an outstanding rural outlook.

The accommodation is approached via a welcoming reception hall, providing access to the principal ground floor rooms. The property offers an excellent balance of formal and informal living spaces, including a generously proportioned sitting room, separate drawing room and substantial conservatory, the latter providing a particularly attractive setting from which to appreciate the gardens and surrounding countryside. A further study offers an ideal environment for home working, whilst the fitted kitchen is complemented by a separate utility room and a conveniently positioned ground floor shower room. The overall arrangement provides considerable flexibility, ideally suited to modern family living and entertaining.

The first floor accommodation is equally impressive, comprising five well-proportioned bedrooms, including a particularly appealing principal bedroom suite. This outstanding room benefits from an extensive range of fitted wardrobes and double casement doors affording spectacular views across the established gardens, adjoining paddock and gently undulating farmland beyond. The principal bedroom is further complemented by an en-suite facility, whilst the remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom. The accommodation throughout is presented to a good standard, offering generous proportions and considerable versatility.

The property occupies a substantial plot, set well back from the road and approached via an independent driveway leading to a generous parking area and garaging. The established formal gardens extend to approximately 0.65 acres and provide a delightful combination of expansive lawned areas, mature specimen trees, established shrubs and thoughtfully arranged planting, creating an attractive and wonderfully private environment. A side terrace, conveniently positioned adjacent to the conservatory, provides an excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining, with a retaining wall and access leading through to the principal gardens, where a further terraced seating area enjoys the attractive surroundings.

The gardens are further enhanced by having a greenhouse, lean to store, additional storage sheds and a tractor shed, providing a particularly useful collection of ancillary buildings. A charming trellis style archway leads through to the adjoining paddock, extending to approximately 1.3 acres, offering considerable appeal to purchasers seeking additional amenity land, recreational space or potential equestrian use, subject to any necessary consents and suitability. With gardens and paddock extending in total to approximately 1.95 acres, the property enjoys an exceptional degree of outside space, complemented by magnificent views across the surrounding Boxford Valley.
