Fen Walk, Woodbridge, Suffolk, IP12

Hidden gem in the heart of Woodbridge within about 1.65 acres.

Description

In a quiet and elevated position, flanked by private gardens and parkland, Nutwood is in a superb mature setting surrounded by its own gardens and grounds yet within easy walking distance of the centre of Woodbridge and the River Deben.

Constructed in 1966, by local builders Ingram Smith, of colour washed brick elevations under a pitched red pantiled roof, it was extended in 1987. Recently the current owners have thoroughly refurbished the house with new plumbing, wiring and triple glazed windows throughout.

This single storey property offers well laid out and flexible accommodation comprising the entrance hall with guest cloakroom leading through to the main reception rooms which include a spacious light and airy sitting room with full height sliding doors out to the large south facing main terrace. Of particular note are the murals over the fireplace depicting scenes from Sutton Hoo.

The dining room, accessed from the sitting room, garden room and main corridor, is spacious, and the full height sliding door gives access to the west terrace and garden beyond. The garden room benefits from a triple aspect and is accessible from the sitting room and dining room and through french doors to the main terrace.

The kitchen/breakfast room with separate pantry lies along the north elevation and has matching wooden base and wall mounted units, range cooker with gas hob and door to the garden. The utility room is accessed from both the kitchen and hallway and has a side door leading directly to the driveway.

Two bedrooms and a family bathroom are situated in the original part of the house. The principal suite, with dressing room, and two further bedrooms (one with en suite), one of which is currently used as a study, are all situated in the extended part of the house.

OUTSIDE
Nutwood sits well within its plot overlooking its gardens and grounds which are of particular note, being well planted and maintained with a variety of mature trees, shrubs and herbaceous borders.

The gardens have wonderful walks down across the croquet lawn to a kitchen garden / fruit cage and beyond through a small orchard bordered by fine mature trees. The property also affords a high degree of privacy and seclusion due to the established planting.

There is a spacious triple garage. A potting shed is on one side of the garage with a WC and the garden also boasts a useful outbuilding.
