Offered with no onward chain, the detached property is for sale with IP Properties (Suffolk), which praises Marchwood for its “exceptional craftsmanship”, “spacious open-plan living area” and “breathtaking views across the valley”.
It is air conditioned and also enjoys several ‘green features’ including a rain water harvesting system and solar panels.
The home is approached via a driveway with mature gardens surrounding it, creating a real sense of seclusion and tranquillity as you arrive at Marchwood’s impressive cedar wood entrance.
Entering through the foyer, a winding hallway provides access to all of the ground floor accommodation, which benefits from underfloor heating throughout.
The lovely, open-plan living area with galleried landing above acts as the heart of the home. It is an open and welcoming space with an imposing brick fireplace and a full-height gable end window overlooking the garden.
The modern kitchen/family room also features large windows and doors inviting in plenty of natural light and has a useful area for dining and entertaining adjoining it, as well as a separate dining room with fireplace and doors to the rear.
A nearby laundry room with plumbing space for washing machine/dryer is ideal for catering for all of the occupants of the home’s seven bedrooms, three of which are found downstairs, including the master bedroom with walk-in cupboards and an en-suite bathroom. Bedrooms one and two also have storage space and en suites, and a useful utility, office and WC complete the ground floor.
The first-floor landing overlooks the open-plan living areas below and this floor also boats a versatile range of rooms which could be used for relaxing, entertaining or working. The bedrooms on the first floor are served by a family bathroom and there is an additional room on the second floor providing space for storage.
Marchwood’s mature front and rear gardens extend to around 1.3 acres, with sweeping areas of lawn offering far-reaching views over the Fynn Valley – ideally enjoyed from the cosy outdoor terrace abutting the house.
A large storage building to the rear garden is suitable for housing gardening machinery and tools, while a cart lodge to the front offers parking space for two vehicles, as do the garage and large driveway.
