THE LOCATION Dales Farmhouse is located on the rural edge of the village of Lawshall. Lawshall provides a good range of local facilities including a well-regarded primary school, Church, public house and village shop. The village is equidistant between Long Melford and the very well served historic town of Bury St Edmunds. Long Melford offers a good range of antique shops, restaurants and village inns. There is easy access to the A134 linking to Colchester, Sudbury and Bury St Edmunds and the A14 to Newmarket, Cambridge and Suffolk Coastal regions. OUTSIDE The grounds of about 2.75 acres form an important feature of the property. An automated 5-bar gate opens onto a sweeping gravelled drive leading to a spacious parking area infront of the double open-bay cartlodge. There is also a small traditional timber framed barn which can provide a lock-up garage. A rose and herb bed borders the front of the house with the principal garden lying to the rear and either side. Typical English country cottage plants are in abundance including honeysuckle, bluebells, primrose, cowslips and tulips. A path to the west elevation leads to a decked alfresco dining terrace which stretches out on stilts over the pond. This large natural lily pond has a water fall feature keeping the water circulating and is bordered by irises, gunnera and water buttercups. The summerhouse/ studio is situated beyond the pond and has an adjoining barbeque terrace. An expanse of lawn is bordered by neatly tended box hedging as well as a variety of trees including horse chestnut, silver birch, lacy lady trees and beech. A meadow lies to the east which could provide a pony paddock and has been used as a heli-pad. Outbuildings include 2 utilitarian barns (both 56’ x 17’) and a Nissan hut.
