Waldringfield, Woodbridge, Suffolk, IP12

A truly impressive contemporary home in a popular riverside village.

Standing prominently in the popular village of Waldringfield, between the primary school and riverside pub and with views towards the parish church, Spinnaker, built in 2015, offers a fabulous modern lifestyle opportunity. From the moment you step through the front door you are welcomed into a light and engaging open plan living space (54 x 23 ft), with its full width glazed elevation and recessed windows that slide back to create a wonderful ‘in out’ experience, onto the south facing sheltered terrace and gardens beyond.

The house features polished limestone and oak flooring, cherry wood doors with magnetic latches and low profile windows throughout. An impressive ‘ergonomic’ Schmidt kitchen has a large Unistone quartz island, with numerous concealed drawers and cupboards, a full range of Siemens appliances and further concealed storage and fridge/freezer units. Beyond a dining area, is a cosy sitting area, with concealed units and shelving, whilst set either side of the entrance hall are a pair of double bedrooms, one of which is presently used as a study, with each having luxury en suite shower rooms. There is a well-equipped utility room and separate cloakroom, as well as access into an equally smart integral garage with sealed flooring.

The bespoke limestone staircase, with glass balustrading and step lighting rises to a stunning first floor family room with a vaulted ceiling and full-width bi-fold doors leading to the balcony. This provides an ideal outside entertaining area enjoying far reaching views of the garden, meadows, and parish church. In winter you can also enjoy views of the river Deben.

The family room has oak flooring and a concealed bar/kitchenette with flanking cupboards. Leading off from the family room is the sumptuous master suite, with a walk-in dressing room and spacious luxury bath/shower room, whilst the fourth and fifth bedrooms also have their own luxury en suite shower rooms. The property is immaculately presented throughout and benefits from underfloor heating powered by an Ochsner heat pump, the cost of which is offset by the income generating solar panels, which also heats the water.

GARDEN STUDIO/OFFICE
Set within the gardens is a self-contained, flexible use studio with a shower room and kitchenette, which provides the potential for a variety of uses, including at home office, garden room, studio, gym or annexe accommodation. Services are connected, together with a point-to-point Wi-Fi link to the house.

THE GARDENS

The south facing gardens lie mainly to the rear of the house and enjoy good privacy and views. A wide limestone terrace runs the width of the house, sheltered by the first-floor balcony, and is ideal for alfresco dining. There is an Indian sandstone garden pathway leading to the studio and the recently re-laid and well-kept central lawn is bordered on one side by raised fruit and vegetable beds, whilst on the other by a deep, well stocked and colourful herbaceous and shrub border. An illuminated paved pathway leads to a wildflower area, interplanted with a variety of fruit trees and there is a ‘posh’ workshop/store. The pathways run round either side of the house beyond the ‘quiet garden’, with its central star magnolia, with secure gates opening onto the walled front garden. A central driveway flanked by well-kept lawns sweeps to a wide parking and turning area to the front of the house, with access to the garage.
