Detached house for sale in Wilby Road, Stradbroke, Eye, Suffolk IP21

Positioned at the end of a long driveway, and set back from the road, High House is a handsome grade II listed, period family home which offers a wealth of character charm, situated to the outskirts of the popular village of Stradbroke. The property, which offers the potential for updating, is believed to date back to the 16th Century and benefits from a large pottery/barn offering tremendous potential for many uses.

When entering the property immediately to the left is the sitting room with double aspect views over the gardens. To the other side of the hall, a dining/family room offers ample space for formal dining or the family to gather. With a variety of period features including exposed beams and an impressive inglenook fireplace with a log burner, the room also offers dual aspect views over the gardens. Further in is the kitchen/breakfast room with terracotta flooring, Aga stove and a breakfast bar. Completing the ground floor is a cloakroom.

To the first floor there is the principal bedroom with triple aspect to maximise natural light, together with three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom offering incredible views.

Set across from the main house is a large outbuilding. Offering over 3,500 sq ft of additional accommodation, the barn has previously been used as a pottery by the previous vendors. Within the barn are a number of useful workshops, stores, studios and office, with a floor above offering additional space. In addition, there is a kiln room, which still remains in situ. Subject to the necessary consents, the barn offers enormous potential for conversion into a number of uses, including ancillary accommodation or even a separate residential dwelling.
