Beautifully finished home set in 1.5 acres, with exceptional accommodation, gardens, outbuildings and scope for a small holding.
Cedarwood sits within about 1.5 acres of grounds and enjoys an idyllic setting surrounded by open farmland, positioned on the periphery of the highly sought after South Suffolk village of Holton St Mary.
Dating from the 1940s, the house is constructed from a timber frame with larch cladding under a slate roof. The property has been comprehensively renovated between 2021 and 2022 and the result is a beautifully presented four bedroom eco-home with extremely low running costs of approx. £200/month. This property is a true representation of a smallholding or other various uses.
The property has been featured on Build Your Dream Home With Mark Millar (Channel 5) Escape To The Country (BBC1) BBC Look East, Gardeners World (BBC1) and in The East Anglian Daily Times.
Set well back from the road and approached over a generous driveway, the front door opens into a light filled central hallway, creating an elegant connection to the well proportioned and beautifully presented interior spaces, all of which enjoy wonderfully high ceilings. The open plan kitchen, dining and family room is a fantastic space with a seamless connection to the outside through French doors. enhancing the space there is a bespoke mural by well known artist Lucy Tiffney. The kitchen itself features a carefully curated blend of built in cabinetry and integrated antique pieces, providing excellent storage and a beautifully individual aesthetic. Appliances include a Neff induction hob, two Miele ovens and a built in Kenwood dishwasher. Beyond this lies the triple aspect garden room, a wonderfully bright space enjoying views across the garden and offering direct access outside.
There are four double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom benefits from a double aspect outlook, an en suite shower room, and French doors opening directly to the garden.
Cedarwood sits within delightful gardens and grounds extending to about 1.5 acres. The gardens are richly planted, with mature trees, shrubs and an exceptional variety of established food producing plants including rhubarb, walnuts, apples, pears, raspberries, gooseberries, tayberries, loganberries, Japanese wineberries, jostaberries, Szechuan pepper, globe artichokes, Jerusalem artichokes, kiwi, grapes, pomegranate and asparagus.
An original WW2 air raid shelter remains within the grounds, adding a fascinating and rare piece of history to the property. The land also offers scope for a small holding, providing excellent potential for keeping livestock or developing further productive areas. Two large outbuildings complete the outside space at Cedarwood offering a rare development opportunity for extending the property or for business premises.

What I love most about Cedarwood is the wonderful light and proportion throughout, with every room feeling connected to the gardens. Set within about 1.5 acres of richly planted, productive grounds it offers a distinctive and versatile home with superb lifestyle potential.
