As Wimbledon begins, here’s your chance to play tennis in your own garden! A property with a tennis court has come up for sale in East Bergholt at a guide price of £2 million.
Emanuel House was built in 1904 as an Arts and Crafts house and the village rectory.
Property agent Peter Ogilvie, head of residential sales at Savills in Suffolk, said: “Emanuel House is a particularly attractive and impressive property of enormous character. It was designed by ecclesiastical architect Frank Lishmann, of Grays Inn in London, on behalf of the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich under the patronage of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, hence its name.
“The house has now been thoroughly renovated by the current owners and is impeccably well presented. The accommodation flows remarkably well and has been perfectly designed with wonderful high ceilings and light and bright rooms, opening out to beautiful gardens and woodlands, while features of note include open fireplaces, a fitted wood burning stove, exposed wooden floors and French windows.”
Emanuel House is constructed from brick under pitched peg tiled roofs, with colour washed and painted elevations. In recent years, it has been renovated throughout by the current owners.
On the ground floor, there’s a central entrance hall and a large dining room, drawing room, sitting room and study to one side of the house, and a large bespoke kitchen with Aga overlooking the gardens on the other side.
Upstairs, on the first floor, there are six bedrooms and two bathrooms. There are three further bedrooms on the second floor.
Outside, the expansive gardens lie mainly to the south of the house, which include lawns, a heated swimming pool, a hard tennis court and mature woodland.
Outbuildings include a double car port and garage as well as large pool house/store room.
Emanuel House is on the eastern edge of East Bergholt, which is set in the Dedham Vale Conservation area. The village is well known for its connections with renowned painter John Constable.
