Description

Part of our Signature collection, this delightful 5 bedroom detached country home offers exceptional accommodation and is set within 7.5 acres of grounds in the beautiful Suffolk countryside, with a self-contained 2 bedroom annexe.

This substantial detached country house is nestled in established grounds of 7.5 acres, with stunning far reaching views of the surrounding countryside. Piling House is an outstanding property built in the early 1980's which provides spacious and flexible living accommodation. There is a small chapel in the grounds which is believed to date back to the 1700s and originally belonged to the neighbouring property, The Old Rectory.

The main entrance leads into the impressive entrance hallway with a beautiful wooden staircase rising to the first floor, stylish floor tiles throughout and two good-sized storage cupboards. The property has an ideal layout with the ground floor accommodation flowing seamlessly from the entrance hall. The cosy sitting room features wooden floors and an open fireplace, and has a rear aspect looking out to the garden and fields beyond. The main office has fitted units and opens into the fabulous orangery with vaulted ceiling, which enjoys a triple aspect with French doors leading out to the patio. The formal dining room also has wooden flooring and a dual aspect with French doors to the garden.

The kitchen is in-keeping with the farmhouse feel of the property, with cream shaker style units and granite worktops. There are two built-in ovens, a free-standing cooker and a built-in microwave, along with an integrated dishwasher. The adjoining breakfast room also features farmhouse style units, with space for an American style fridge freezer, and a further pantry area. Continuing from the breakfast area, the separate utility is a great space for muddy boots and laundry, with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and a door providing access to the garden. The ground floor accommodation is completed by the cloakroom and drawing room, which features a wood burner and links to the self-contained annexe. Stairs from the drawing room lead to the second office with fitted units and a triple aspect. The current owners have had direct fibre broadband installed to the property, making this an easy space to work from home.

An internal lobby accessed via the drawing room leads to the annexe and home gym. The games room and bar are housed in what is believed to have once been a small chapel, having been converted by the previous owners. Offering an excellent opportunity for multi-generational living, the two bedroom self-contained annexe has a kitchen, living/dining room, bathroom and a bedroom with ensuite cloakroom.

The property is characterised by its 'L' shaped structure, and the master suite stretches the length of the property, with a separate dressing area and fitted units. A dormer window allows for plenty of light with has a front aspect, and there is an ensuite bath and shower room. The main bathroom has been tastefully decorated and also has both a bath and shower. Bedrooms two, three and four all boast fitted wardrobes and units, with dormer windows looking out to the rear. Bedroom two has the added extra of a balcony and an ensuite shower room. Bedroom five concludes the first floor accommodation and benefits from fitted wardrobes, with a window to the front aspect. A special feature of the property is formed in the established grounds of 7.5 acres. Nestled behind ornamental gates, the property is set back from the road and the driveway provides access to the garages.

The front garden has been beautifully landscaped with a raised area of lawn surrounded by mature shrubs, bushes and trees, which provide a good degree of privacy. A path leads around one side of the property, where there is space for a greenhouse.

The rear garden enjoys a south-westerly aspect which enjoys long hours of sunshine throughout the year, with a patio which runs the length of the rear elevation. Steps lead down to an expanse of lawn, interspersed and bordered by flower beds, with mature shrubs and a selection of trees. To one side are some outbuildings, which are currently used for tools and storage of ride-on lawnmowers. A five bar gate leads to a meadowland, where a mature leafy orchard of apple, plum and pear trees can be found, along with an area with a polytunnel, other various outbuildings and the allotment patch for fruit and veg with chicken coops. The substantial grounds are completed by a further meadow at the edge of the grounds, which is bordered by a small stream.


Location

The property is located on the southern tip of Clopton and is within easy walking distance of neighbouring St Botolphs Church in Burgh, as well as the adjoining village hall, which was converted from an old schoolroom. Clopton is a village dotted gently across the rolling Suffolk countryside, much of which is pastureland. Nearby First Coffee Shop & Lifestyle store is approximately 30 minutes walk from Piling House, along with the popular Grundisburgh Dog public house. The neighbouring village of Grundisburgh offers good day-to-day amenities, village stores and delicatessens. The popular market town of Woodbridge is around 5 miles away and provides a more extensive range of amenities, including schools, shops, banks, pubs and restaurants. There is also a train station which links to Ipswich where you can change for London Liverpool Street, and of course, the beautiful River Deben. Suffolk Heritage Coast is also within easy reach.
