Occupying a delightful, tucked away position on the edge of the village, Snape Hall is an attractive house believed to principally date back from he 16th century, with later Georgian additions.

The house perfectly balances period charm - retaining many superb historic features including exposed timbers and studwork - with comfortable contemporary family living.

Centrally positioned within the plot and approached via a long sweeping drive through private woodland, the house has handsome rendered elevations under a traditional pantile roof.

Internally, the accommodation flows exceptionally well, comprising wonderfully proportioned and light filled rooms.

The front door opens into a generous reception hall, which leads through to the double aspect study, sitting room and cloakroom; stairs lead up to the first floor bedroom accommodation.

At the heart of the house, the capacious double aspect sitting room features a traditional Suffolk brick floor, a glazed door leading out to the south-facing terrace, and an inglenook fireplace with an inset wood burning stove.

The bespoke Plain English kitchen has hand build wooden cabinetry with quartz work surfaces, a double butler-style sink and integrated Neff dishwasher; the triple aspect room is flooded with natural light, with a reclaimed slate floor, generous dining area, and charming adjoining boot room.

Completing the ground floor of the principal portion of the house is the triple aspect dining room, which offers fabulous views over the south-facing garden, with French windows leading directly to the terrace.

Beyond the study is The Nookery, one of the two holiday cottages, which could be incorporated into the main house or used as an annexe, ideal for multi-generational living. Stairs in the sitting room lead down to the cellar.

There are four generous double bedrooms and two stylishly designed bathrooms on the first floor. The double aspect principal bedroom has integrated wardrobes and French windows out to the roof terrace.
