Description
The Red House is a classic, non-listed Victorian residence enjoying a secluded and semi-rural setting, positioned on the fringes of Ashbocking village. The property with its handsome red brick elevations and deep sash windows, offers light and elegantly presented accommodation, with the majority of rooms enjoying views across the gardens and surrounding countryside beyond.
The accommodation, which is arranged over two storeys, and extends to over 3,600 sq ft, offers a formal drawing room with attractive bay window, connecting to the adjoining atmospheric sitting room, with the equally well-proportioned dining room enjoying a twin aspect. The large and open plan Henry Gordon Jones handmade kitchen with AGA and central island unit, complete with breakfast bar, connects to the dining/snug with woodburning stove and double doors to the southwest facing terrace. Beyond lies the boot and utility rooms, together with cloakroom.
The first floor offers a principal bedroom, with walk-in dressing room along with en suite, whilst the guest bedroom offers an en suite shower room. There are three further double bedrooms with a family bathroom.
OUTSIDE
Approached through estate fencing, down a long shingle driveway, there is a central turning circle to the front elevation, whilst a rear drive affords access to additional parking and the garage. The gardens and grounds are mainly laid to lawn, with the largest area oriented to the south, and enclosed by established hedged boundaries, interspersed with mature trees. There is a paved terrace to the southwest of the property linking the kitchen to the garden, whilst a sheltered internal courtyard is currently arranged with hot tub.
The multipurpose outbuilding is currently being used as a studio/games room, with an area beyond including a shower room and offering annexe potential. In addition, there is a large garden machinery store/workshop, beyond which lies the tennis court which would benefit from being re-surfaced.
