A unique and distinctive converted Victorian School which is situated at the heart of the picturesque Suffolk village of Heveningham, conveniently located for access to the market town of Halesworth and the seaside town of Southwold. The property which is central- ly heated by oil fired radiators, has been the subject of a careful and sympathetic programme of modernisation. The house benefits from double glazed replacement windows and wood burn- ing stoves in each reception room. The original beamed school room is a spacious sitting room and the new contemporary fitted kitchen, with integrated appliances, opens through to a living room/dining room. Bi-folding doors lead from this part of the house into a sunny, private, walled garden. The third bedroom, which is located on the ground floor, is presently used as a snug/ television room. There are two double first floor bedrooms which are served by a well appointed family bathroom. The accommodation also includes a useful utility room and a rear lobby. There is a small garage to the side of the house with a driveway and parking area. The front garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to provide outdoor seating areas. The lawned, walled garden also has paved terraces for outdoor entertaining. The property retains much of its original char- acter and many period architectural features. The property benefits from views over the mead- ow opposite and towards open undulating countryside. An internal inspection is strongly recom- mended.
