Former Parsonage with stunning views.
Tenure: Freehold
Situation: The Old Parsonage is situated opposite St Mary's Church in the village of Mellis. Mellis is a picturesque rural village close to the Norfolk/ Suffolk border, which has a primary school, village inn and village hall. The community at Mellis is spread around the common - which is the largest grazing common in Suffolk and indeed the largest unfenced common in England. It is described in Oliver Rackham's classic History of the Countryside as a prime remnant of Ancient Countryside with "its long grass brilliant with cowslip, meadow saxifrage, hay-rattle, cuckoo-flower, and green winged orchids."
Savills negotiator: George Bramley
The Old Parsonage is believed to date from 1864 and is of brick and flint construction under a slate roof. In its present unspoilt condition, with original features still in place throughout, the house
offers an exciting renovation opportunity for an incoming owner.
On the ground floor the 3 principal reception rooms are of good proportions and all retain period fireplaces. An attractive bay window in the drawing room and French doors in the dining room
both enjoy delightful views across the gardens and paddocks. The kitchen, which retains a brick vaulted bread oven and hand operated water pump, opens into a small courtyard of traditional
outbuildings. Next to the kitchen is the breakfast room, which in turn leads to a side door. Elsewhere on the ground floor lies a butler's pantry, larder, cloakroom and entrance to the cellar. Alongside the main stairs lies a secondary or servant's stairs. On the first floor there are five well sized bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a further WC.
Outside
The Old Parsonage, is approached across the common, with a gravelled drive which sweeps past the side of the house to a turning circle. The Old Parsonage, sits proudly with far reaching views along the common, and is surrounded by its own grounds which are bounded by a medieval moat and mature trees. To the side of the drive is a gig house, which has three stables, a tack room and gig store on the ground floor as well as a haystore on the first floor. There are two paddocks and a
garden which is mainly laid to lawn.
