This beautiful listed Georgian house is principally early eighteenth century and retains many original features, including sash windows and the old, half glazed entrance door with a Gibbs surround. There is a wealth of old timber and plaster mouldings within the house. The generous entrance hall at the heart of the house leads to wonderful, well-proportioned reception rooms, a spacious double aspect kitchen, a boot room and cellar. The drawing room is especially elegant, wide bay windows overlook the gardens and there is a fine wooden chimneypiece with fluted columns. The study has direct access on to the rose garden. The dining room, opposite the drawing room, has a fine marble chimneypiece with a useful preparation room which connects to the kitchen.

The grand old pine staircase in the entrance hall leads to the first floor and four generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom, which sits over the drawing room is large, has windows on two sides looking out to the garden and fields beyond. The attic provides good potential for additional bedrooms and bathroom accommodation, subject to necessary consents. In all the rooms, the windows are large, the ceilings are high, and light floods in.

The house access is by a quiet country tree lined lane which leads to Southwold, with no through traffic using it. There is abundant wildlife, owls, hares, very many birds, with swallows nesting in the outbuildings. There is a wood on the other side of the lane to the house which lies within the curtilage.

Beside the house is a converted barn with accommodation and a superb vaulted sun room, ideal for entertaining. This room has a large open fireplace and the south facing wall of windows and doors opens onto its own terrace. This room has a small, separate kitchen and WC.

The south and west facing gardens and grounds of Wood Farm are exceptional, completely private, peaceful and not overlooked. There is a terrace, many large and interesting trees, two ponds, greenhouses and a good tennis court. To the west is a partially walled rose garden and to the rear is a further area of lawns. There are extensive outbuildings include garage, barns and cart sheds. A large mature wood across the lane (not road) lies within the curtilage of the property.
