    About this property

    • This spectacular property definitely has the wow factor and viewing is highly recommended.

      The Courthouse forms the premier property within the iconic 1920s landmark Ogilvie Hall. With its own interesting history Ogilvy Hall has been expertly and sympathetically converted into five substantial modern properties and sits in the heart of the picturesque and much sought after coastal village of Thorpeness.

      The exterior pitched oak entranceway to the front door takes you into the entrance reception area which leads to a hallway with access to four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a WC all on the ground floor.

      Going upstairs, the first floor represents a stunning substantial open space with vaulted ceiling, spiral staircase to a mezzanine and large modern leaded windows taking full advantage of the views of this unique village.

      The considerable open plan design incorporates a spacious lounge / reception area with contemporary gas fire; a dining area along with a stylish modern kitchen with large central island with breakfast bar boasting quartz work surfaces, ample storage and integrated Neff appliances including twin ovens, induction hob, extractor fan, dishwasher, fridge and freezer.

      The garden runs along the front and side of the property and there are two designated parking spaces behind Ogilvie Hall along with a further off-road parking space adjacent to the house.

    Within one of the most enchanting and magical locations in east Suffolk, The Courthouse is a superb four-bedroom house. I absolutely love the vaulted open-plan kitchen and sitting room; it's a spectacular space.
