The Old Vicarage, Maybush Lane, Felixstowe IP11

Built in 1894, The Old Vicarage couples striking historic grandeur with a comprehensive, down-to-the-studs renovation. The current owners have meticulously preserved the building’s original elegance while introducing a clean, contemporary aesthetic. The result is a home of remarkable scale and sophisticated simplicity, where 3.2 metre ceilings, abundant natural light, and impressive proportions take centre stage.

The property occupies a 0.21 acre plot with established gardens, enjoying wrap-around entertaining spaces with room for a garage to the front or side, subject to any necessary consents.

Expansive aluminium-framed windows in Diamond Grey capture views across the private courtyard, manicured gardens, and glimpses of the sea beyond. In the warmer months, bi-fold doors open to invite in cooling coastal breezes, while zoned underfloor heating ensures a luxurious, even warmth throughout the winter. Feature fireplaces serve as focal points, adding charm and ambience to the living spaces.

The bedroom accommodation is equally impressive, comprising four exceptionally generous double bedrooms, two luxurious ensuites and a beautifully appointed family bathroom. The upper floors also provide ideal spaces for home working, study or simply enjoying the elevated outlook.

A particular highlight is the first-floor terrace. Served by a dedicated kitchenette, it provides a seamless extension of the living space, perfect for hosting evening drinks or enjoying a quiet morning coffee from this peaceful, elevated vantage point.

A Bespoke Opportunity: The principal kitchen space has been fully prepared with all necessary services and infrastructural plumbing/electrics in place. This allows the incoming purchaser the unique opportunity to design and install a bespoke kitchen tailored entirely to their own tastes and requirements.

The ground floor layout is designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living. The kitchen courtyard captures the morning sun, a perfect, peaceful space for breakfast. The garden room, complete with an adjacent shower room, opens directly onto a spa deck featuring a sunken Jacuzzi. Around the corner lies a dedicated alfresco dining area with direct access back into the main living room. The expertly landscaped grounds feature mature privacy hedging, vibrant flower beds, and a pathway leading to a charming grove of sixteen white birch trees.
