    About this property

    • Coles Green House is charming and occupies an exceptional position on a quiet lane abutting open countryside to provide far reaching field views. The property was originally built as a Suffolk Long House and has since had later additions added which now provides a very spacious light and airy, well proportioned property with accommodation over two floors. Much of the original character of the property has been retained including exposed beams, original bread oven and oak doors. The house has been very well maintained over the past 40 years by the current owner and now provides an opportunity for an incoming purchaser to make it their own.

      The ground floor accommodation comprises an attractive reception hall with a handsome oak front door and leads through to a cloakroom and cloaks cupboard. The handsome drawing room is very well proportioned and benefits from a double aspect with a large attractive bay window and French double doors out on to the patio. Steps lead up to study from the reception room which has an open fireplace as does the dining room. The family room is a cosy space with a wood burning stove just off the kitchen.

      The kitchen/breakfast room has a range of base and wall mounted units with wooden worktops and windows overlooking both the front and back of the property. Appliances include an induction hob and double oven. Off the kitchen is a utility room with space for a washing machine and dryer and a good sized larder as well as a back door out on to the garden.

      The first floor provides a principal suite with fitted wardrobes in the bedroom and dressing area along with an en suite bathroom. There are a further four bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room and a separate family bathroom. All of the bedrooms have lovely views out, across the surrounding Suffolk countryside.



      Outside
      The rural position of Coles Green House is fully appreciated as you approach along the gravel drive with parking for several vehicles, plus a double garage with potential to develop given the necessary consents being obtained, and a machinery store measuring 32' x 8'8". The gardens are principally laid to lawn and interspersed with mature trees and hedging which offers a high degree of privacy and seclusion. There are attractive lawned gardens around the house and a patio off the reception room.

    I loved the setting of Coles Green House on the village edge surrounded by lovely views of the surrounding Suffolk countryside. I was also impressed with the light and airy well proportioned rooms throughout.
