Wonderfully positioned period country house
Description
Listed Grade II of architectural or historical interest, The Vale Farm was formally cottages which have been combined to form a large farmhouse of huge character. There is a wealth of period features throughout, of particular note being the exposed studs, beams and wonderful fireplaces.
Outside
The swimming pool sits in a secluded recess over looked by the spacious pool house whilst above a recently resurfaced tennis court stand in an elevated position. The property is approached by a long hedge lined drive way which passes through the extensive equestrian facilities before culminating in a wide sweep fronted by the garages at the front door. The property is surrounded by open countryside and has lovely views to the valley below.
Services
Mains electricity and water, Private drainage system. 300 meg Fiber optic service to house and cottages/office
Location
The Vale Farm is set in lovely undulating countryside, located in an unspoiled and tranquil area of Suffolk in the sought after Shotley Peninsula between the Rivers Orwell and Stour.
The village has a popular public house, an active village hall, church and regular farmer markets. The nearby larger village of Holbrook offers good daily facilities with a primary and secondary school, doctor’s surgery, pubs and shops. The well known centre at Pin Mill is close by on the estuary of the River Orwell and further water sports are located at The Royal Harwich Yacht Club at Woolverstone and Alton Water which is also in close proximity to Harkstead. Private schooling is well catered for with Ipswich High School for girls at Woolverstone and the Royal Hospital School on the outskirts of Holbrook. Commuters can take advantage of both Manningtree and Ipswich main line stations, the journey taking 60 and 65 minutes respectively to London’s Liverpool Street Station. There is regular public transport to Ipswich and other parts of the peninsular.
