An imposing period house set in some 0.42 acres together with outbuildings and a detached annex / studio

Huntley House is a substantial four-bedroom detached house which according to its Grade II Listing dates from around 1600. Conveniently located in the centre of Copdock, the property is in walking distance of the village pub and primary school.

Covering about 2,450sq.ft, the family accommodation provides a practical and pleasing layout, which consists of a welcoming central reception hall with a former inglenook fireplace. The main reception room (north) is the spacious and formal drawing room, with a focal inglenook fireplace housing a wood burner.

Unlike many historic houses of its ilk, Huntley House provides an open plan kitchen / breakfast / dining room which thus caters for modern family living. The AGA kitchen areas are comprehensively fitted with oak cupboards, drawers, extensive worksurfaces with two inset sinks, eclectic hob and oven.

The remaining reception rooms consist of a front snug with an open fire and a study to one corner which backs onto a spacious boiler / laundry room.

Via a front landing, the first floor provides four double bedrooms. Bedroom one forms part of a later two-storey addition (west) which provides an ensuite shower room.

Bedroom two to the northern end of the house is accessed via a ‘jack and jill’ WC, which is effectively a further ensuite. An adjacent dressing area / walk-in wardrobe also gives access to the loft. Bedrooms three and four are served by a family bathroom.

Outside, the well-maintained and established gardens surround the house to all sides, which are principally bound by established hedges. The property adjoins both The Street to the front (east) and Back Lane to the rear (west) where the latter leads onto a large shingle drive with a detached garage with workshop area.

Connected to the southern end of the house via a brick and tile passage is a workshop / utility room, with an adjoining greenhouse to the front and a sheltered dining area to the rear.
