4 bedroom house

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: Hill Top Fruit Farm is a fine example of 16th Century architecture of timber framed construction with a rendered exterior and set beneath a Norfolk reed roofline. Having undergone a sympathetic programme of improvement and enhancement by the current owners, the property is notable for its range of distinctive period features including English oak casement windows, inglenook fireplaces, excellent ceiling heights and extensive array of timberwork. With many of the rooms enjoying a dual aspect, the property is afforded a wealth of natural light and provides an ideal opportunity for those looking to secure a generously proportioned principal residence with a versatile selection of outbuildings. The four reception rooms each provide a unique yet traditional feel with a particular emphasis placed on the south-facing rear orientation with clever use of glass complementing the existing timberwork. Four generously proportioned first-floor bedrooms are accessed via two staircases with complementing en-suite shower room facilities to the principal bedroom and separate family bathroom. Further benefits to the property include a detached double garage with adjacent workshop, ample private parking, flourishing gardens, outstanding views and a heated swimming pool with retractable cover.

Located within the much sought-after Suffolk village of Baylham, the property offers convenient access to both the A12 and A14, with direct line for London Liverpool Street accessed via Stowmarket and Ipswich, the latter notable for its status as the county town of Suffolk. Having undergone a comprehensive programme of improvement and enhancement by the current owner, the extensive accommodation and outbuilding schedule are set within grounds approaching approximately 1.5 acres.
