Low RoadBruisyard, Saxmundham, Suffolk, IP17 2ED

The Garden House is an outstanding country house, situated in a particularly beautiful part of the Suffolk countryside. The river Alde borders the north side of the property providing a stunning setting. Believed to date back to the 18th century, the house was formally a mill and the front of the house is of Georgian origins. The house is not listed and has been extended and remodelled over the years. It retains a wealth of original features, including exposed timber beams, fireplaces, and generously proportioned, light-filled rooms with high ceilings throughout, now offering a perfect blend of character and comfort.

The property is approached via a sweeping driveway that leads to the house. Inside, a spacious entrance hall welcomes you and flows seamlessly into the main living areas. The beautifully appointed sitting room enjoys a triple aspect and features a fireplace with a wood-burning stove, along with French doors leading to the gardens. On the opposite side of the entrance hall is a snug, which then provides access to the light-filled dining room, which is an ideal space to sit and enjoy far-reaching views over the gardens and undulating countryside. The kitchen is located at the heart of the home and comprises ample wall and base cabinetry. It flows through to a wonderful breakfast room with a skylight, a door to the garden, and a dual aspect offering lovely views over the grounds. A back hall from the kitchen provides access to the outside, a cloakroom, a study, and a useful utility room.

The first floor is reached via a handsome staircase, where six beautifully presented bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom are arranged around a generous landing. Three of the bedrooms benefit from en suite facilities with the principal bedroom and a guest bedroom featuring a dressing room. All bedrooms enjoy far-reaching views over the gardens and rolling countryside.

Gardens & Grounds
The established gardens extend to approximately 3.6 acres and provide a high degree of privacy and seclusion. The gardens are beautifully maintained and interspersed with mature trees, along with shrub and herbaceous borders. Built by the current owners is also "The Tower", which captures the last moments of the setting sun. Within the grounds of The Garden House is a newly surfaced hard-standing tennis court, as well as a detached outbuilding with a garage. This is currently arranged as an office, with a kitchen and cloakroom, with stairs leading to the first floor. The building offers excellent secondary accommodation if required. In addition, there are two further useful outbuildings, currently arranged as a large store and garage.
