Entering via a central stucco porch with Tuscan columns, into the entrance hall with original parquet flooring and elegant cornicing. The T-shaped entrance hall leads perfectly to the main reception rooms. Drawing room to the south west, with working fireplace, bay window, shutters, and detailed plasterwork. Library and drawing room both overlook the parkland setting, the library has a working fire with elegant marble fireplace, parquet flooring, built in bookshelves, detailed plasterwork and cornicing. The study has dual aspect
also with an open fireplace. The dining room, is accessed via the main entrance hall and the rear hallway giving good access for entertaining, and close to the kitchen.

The vendor's family have lived in the local area since 1946 during which time they have renovated three other historic houses including Dynes Hall, Coldham Hall and Chadacre House. These houses have been painted onto fabric in the dining room by the renowned artist Michael Alford to correlate with their points on the compass from the Hall together with countryside scenes. As such the dining room has unquestionably become a statement room within the house and has brought a sense of the wider Stour Valley into the Hall itself. There is a downstairs cloakroom and recently installed lift for access to the first floor. The rear hallway gives access to a butler's pantry, with sink and built in storage. The hand built kitchen is perfect for informal dining with a breakfast room and north facing pantry. There is a 4 oven Aga and Gaggenau fan oven, separate gas hob on a marble topped island. Just past the rear entrance is a laundry, and a sitting room/snug, with built in book shelves and an fireplace. A secondary staircase also leads to the first floor.

FIRST FLOOR

A sweeping staircase leads to the first floor with an attractive galleried landing overlooking the entrance hall. At the head of the landing is a master bedroom suite with a large bathroom and extensive built in wardrobes and a separate spacious dressing room. There are two further bedrooms, which share a family bathroom. A corridor leads to a further 5 bedrooms and 2 family bathrooms.

GARDEN & GROUNDS

The house is approached via a long private drive planted with winter orange lime trees and culminating in a convenient turning circle with an elegant parterre. There is additional access to the rear of the Hall sufficient to park up to ten further vehicles. The gardens have been recently laid out to a very high standard with mature lengths of yew hedging and various beds containing roses and herbaceous perennials typical of a classical English garden. The gardens include a lovely woodland walk with a folly, a picnicking area next to a charming Suffolk pond and an orchard. Beyond the formal gardens is an expanse of rolling parkland. Eyston Hall enjoys uninterrupted views over the parkland to the front of the
property beyond which lies the valley itself comprised of water meadows and particularly attractive wooded and unspoilt countryside.
