Positioned on the edge of the village backing onto woodland and overlooking countryside with the Orwell River beyond, The Old Kennels is a charming Edwardian family home with a self-contained two bedroom holiday cottage.
Internally, a central entrance gives access to the three formal reception rooms, all with fine original features such as high ceilings, large windows, and fireplaces, whilst the impressive kitchen/breakfast room with dining area sits to the rear of this fine home with vaulted ceiling and feature windows and doors enjoying masses of natural light being south-west facing. There is also a utility room and cloakroom.
To the first floor there are four double bedrooms, one of which is en suite, and a family bathroom; all of which enjoy views over the gardens and countryside beyond. Of particular note, one of the reception rooms on the ground floor can be used as a fifth bedroom with the use of the ground floor bathroom.
The barn is newly converted giving the vendor and any future purchaser the ability to have either guest accommodation or potential to earn an income from holiday rentals. It has been beautifully designed and finished to allow for plenty of natural light and in a contemporary open plan style. Internally, it consists of an open-plan sitting room with doors opening on to the garden, a kitchen/dining room, shower room, and to the first floor are two spacious bedrooms.
