Detached house for sale in Elmsett, Ipswich IP7

Charming village house set within secluded gardens with a detached garage and office.

Description
A substantial village house set in some 0.7 acres of secluded gardens with a detached garage and office. Set well back from Elmsett’s picturesque village green, Mannings arguably occupies the most enviable and secluded position in the village. According to its Grade II Listing, the house was originally a row of modest 17th century cottages which were subsequently converted into one detached dwelling.

The accommodation is well-proportioned for a house of its ilk, with bright and airy rooms accentuated by numerous windows and ‘eyebrow’ dormers. The house has also been extended to the rear, forming a modern, single storey oak frame garden / breakfast room which overlooks the main garden. The kitchen provides a two-door gas- fired aga, with a separate integral oven and hob, larder, and numerous units under extensive work surfaces. The adjacent utility / boot room provides plenty of additional storage space with a shower room.

The twin aspect reception areas comprise a formal dining room which leads through to a particularly spacious family room, with a sitting room to one end. The remaining ground floor offers a study with the main stairs leading to a large front landing with a rear family bathroom. The main bedroom is to the northern end, which gives triple aspect views over the gardens. The three further double bedrooms are all served by an additional bathroom.

Outside
Mannings is approached via a private driveway to one side of the green which also gives access the neighbouring Old Rectory. The completely private gardens are a key attribute, comprising areas of lawn defined by well-maintained flower and shrub borders.

To the east is a sheltered vegetable garden to one side of a substantial detached ‘barn style’ garage (having power) with useful accommodation over. Numerous established trees include magnolia, bean tree and mulberry.
