The Property Entering Willow Farm through the front door we are welcomed by the entrance hall of this charming family home. Doors to either side open to the main reception rooms whilst overhead the original ‘coffin hatch’ allows for the easy movement of large furnishings between the two storeys. Pushing open the latch and brace door to the right we step into the sitting room where the surprising levels of natural light that flow throughout the home are instantly apparent. Bold timber beams line the ceiling of the room without encumbering the headroom and an attractive red brick fireplace provides a cosy focal point to the space. A large window overlooks the pond and a door opens to the study/guest bedroom which commands a view over both the pond and walled courtyard garden. Stepping back through the entrance hall we find the dining room whose superb dimensions, coupled with the ability to dine in the kitchen, offer flexibility in its use. Windows to both the front and rear flood the space with light which shows off the stunning timbers lining the ceiling. Views to the front overlook the grounds whilst a door next to the open fire leads to the staircase rising to the first floor. From the dining room we step through the rear lobby which leads to the porch and outside, whilst internally we pass the door to the bathroom and step into the kitchen. The bathroom boasts a new white suite which provides a clean contrast against the character of the building. Completing the ground floor accommodation we find the kitchen/breakfast room fitted with a range of handmade units set over contrasting tiles. Windows look over a dual aspect and there is ample space for informal dining. Climbing the stairs to the first floor we arrive in the most impressive family room. At nearly 18 ft square, this space has served as a playroom and family room and offers ample potential to create an additional bedroom and/or bathroom or simply to be enjoyed as it is. Windows look over the grounds to the east and west filling the space with light. From here, doors lead to two generous double bedrooms which look across the pond to the front field. Completing the accommodation we enter the stunning master bedroom suite, replete with exposed original beams and a high vaulted ceiling. There is a large dressing room area and the en-suite shower room adds the finishing touch to this impressive room. The house has recently been re-carpeted throughout. Location Willow Farm enjoys a private position within the rural yet accessible village of Chediston which, together with the surrounding villages, offers a vibrant community with a range of activities and friendly public houses. Just two miles east lies the market town of Halesworth, with many independent shops, public houses, restaurants, doctors, vets and a supermarket. It has a thriving arts centre for the community called The New Cut which is used as a theatre and cinema and hosts exhibitions and workshops. There is a train station with excellent links to London Liverpool Street. The Suffolk Heritage Coast with the town of Southwold and village of Walberswick are just 10 miles east. Outside Approaching the property from this quiet road, the tree lined driveway provides a stunning avenue leading us past the substantial frontage. Established hedging frames the boundaries and as we approach the Farmhouse a natural pond is set to the foreground. The driveway continues past the front of the house leading to two substantial outbuildings and continues around an island flower bed which gives home to the Mulberry Tree and forms a turning circle returning to the drive. The two acre grounds extend on all sides of the house and offer well kept lawns framed by hedging to all boundaries, a small lightly wooded area, an orchard offering a variety of mature fruit trees, a pond and a front field with a large oak tree. To the rear of the house there is a most impressive walled courtyard, providing the perfect spot for entertaining and taking advantage of the southerly aspect. The purpose-built coach house serves as a four car garage which boasts power, lighting and a de-humidifier, whilst the second outbuilding offers comfortable space for two vehicles, with an inspection pit, a large workshop area and a shower room on the ground floor. On the upper level the space is set for use as an office, recreational room or storage. Both outbuildings were built to the highest standard for the present owners.
