A seven-bedroom period home extending to almost 4,500 sq ft is for sale in the village of Hasketon, near Woodbridge, for £2.35 million.
The Red House comprises the principal part of a Queen Anne house, with Edwardian additions, and is “beautifully presented throughout” according to selling agent Clarke & Simpson.

The Edwardian architecture provides for “incredibly light rooms of generous proportions coupled with excellent ceiling heights”.
As the property is not listed, the current owners undertook an extensive renovation and refurbishment project around 10 years ago. This included entirely re-roofing the property; new heating, hot water and electrical installations; re-configuring some of the rooms; and adding a shower room to the master bedroom.
A wooden panelled front door opens to an entrance hall with leaded-light window overlooking the driveway and garden.
It leads through to a dining hall with large window to the front, parquet flooring and a Victorian iron hob fireplace with carved wood surround.
A highlight of the ground floor is the expansive kitchen/living room, which enjoys a bay frontage offering large amounts of light.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of cupboard and drawer units with polished stone work surfaces, along with a matching island unit. It also includes a double hob Aga with inset electric hob, and a former fireplace containing a Nicholls & Clarke oven range as a feature.
There are column radiators and original parquet flooring throughout the room, while a door connects the kitchen to a pantry.
To the other side of the dining hall is an inner hallway with a staircase to the first floor and understairs storage cupboard.
A door opens to an impressive drawing room with similar bay window arrangement to the kitchen and living room, along with a fireplace with Jotul wood-burning stove and carved wood surround set on a raised stone hearth.
This room links to a garden room with half-height glazed elevation offering views of the gardens and neighbouring farmland.
Completing the ground floor is a rear hall offering access to the pantry and inner hall, with further doors to a study, utility and WC. The study is also accessible from the garden room.
Four of the property’s seven bedrooms, including the master, are found on the first floor.
The master bedroom features large windows, solid oak flooring and a Victorian iron hob fireplace with carved wood surround. It also enjoys an en-suite shower room with large walk-in shower enclosure, WC and mounted wash basin.

The other bedrooms on this floor all have fireplaces, with one also enjoying two wardrobes, including a walk-in.
They are served by a family bathroom comprising free-standing cast iron roll-top bath, mounted ‘trough style’ sink, fully tiled shower enclosure and WC.
There are two staircases rising to the second floor – one to a secondary landing with doors to bedrooms five and six.
Bedroom five is partly sub-divided by the chimney stack, creating two separate areas if required, while bedroom six has a vaulted ceiling with heritage window lights.
The second staircase ascends to the final bedroom, which is also used as a dressing room for the master.
Outside, the grounds extend to approximately two acres, with the majority of the gardens to the front and side of the property. They are predominantly laid to grass and interspersed with a number of mature and established specimen trees.
Within the garden is a studio outbuilding with power and internet connected, which could be utilised as a home office if required.
The Red House is approached via a shared driveway, leading to a five-bar gate which opens onto the sweeping shingled driveway to the front of the property.
