4 bed detached house for sale

Sheepdrift Road, Bromeswell IP12

Authors Went is an individual and remarkably versatile detached chalet-style bungalow occupying a mature and secluded setting along Sheepdrift Road in the sought-after village of Bromeswell. Placed in the middle of a 1.5 acre plot (sts) of mature woods this property also offers many large outbuildings, ideal for a business for storage. Dating from the first half of the twentieth century and subsequently extended, the property offers an generous amount of accommodation, extensive ground-floor living and the particularly rare addition of its own indoor swimming pool.

The accommodation is predominantly arranged across the ground floor, making the house particularly adaptable. At its heart is a substantial kitchen fitted with an extensive range of timber-fronted cabinetry, generous work surfaces and a large central island offering both additional storage and preparation space.

The kitchen opens naturally into the adjoining garden/dining room, an impressive reception area surrounded by glazing and finished beneath a characterful timber-lined vaulted ceiling. With views into the mature gardens and ample space for a substantial dining table, it creates an excellent everyday family and entertaining space with a strong connection to the outside.

The principal sitting room is particularly generous, extending to more than 20ft at its widest point and enjoying windows to several aspects. A substantial exposed-brick fireplace with stove forms the focal point of the room, while its proportions comfortably accommodate several seating areas.

A separate snug/bedroom four provides a further reception room and leads through to a dedicated home office, which benefits from its own external entrance. This makes the arrangement particularly useful for anyone regularly working from home, operating a small business or simply wanting working space away from the principal accommodation.

Also positioned on the ground floor is a generous double bedroom, together with a recently renovated bathroom, completed in 2024. A separate utility room and WC further enhance the practicality of the layout.

The first floor provides two further bedrooms. The larger enjoys its own en-suite shower room, while both rooms benefit from attractive elevated views across the surrounding trees and countryside. This arrangement gives the property considerable flexibility for family living, guests or buyers seeking predominantly single-storey accommodation without sacrificing additional bedroom space.

One of the defining features of Authors Went is the detached indoor swimming pool building, providing a sizeable private leisure facility set separately within the grounds. It is an unusual and increasingly rare addition and gives the property an entirely different dimension from most homes within the surrounding area.

Outside, the house sits within established and wonderfully leafy grounds, with mature trees, shrubs and planting creating an excellent degree of seclusion. Various paved seating areas are positioned around the grounds, while the drive area provides substantial parking together with a double garage.

The house benefits from oil-fired central heating, with the boiler understood to be approximately two years old and still covered by the balance of its warranty. The property is served by a private well water supply and septic tank drainage, with mains electricity and fttc broadband available. The loft is also boarded, providing useful additional storage.

Authors Went is ultimately a house for someone looking for something unique, extensive and adaptable accommodation, mature private surroundings, excellent home-working potential and the extraordinary benefit of a private indoor swimming pool, all within easy reach of Woodbridge.
