About this property

DESCRIPTION Tithe Farmhouse is a fine period farmhouse of mellow red brick construction beneath a slate roof, set within outstanding, and beautifully tended grounds extending to approximately one acre. The property occupies a wonderfully private and rural position on the edge of the village, with far-reaching views across open countryside and towards the distinctive round-towered church of Ilketshall St. Andrew.

Approached via an electric gated entrance, a sweeping shingled driveway leads up to the side of the house, creating a fitting approach and a high degree of seclusion. The house is positioned centrally within its plot, with established, landscaped gardens surrounding the property and providing a tranquil setting.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors, offering well-balanced and generously proportioned rooms. The principal reception rooms enjoy delightful views over the gardens and surrounding rural landscape and link in well with one another. In particular, the open plan reception room/dining room which flows through to the kitchen area with central island, a good range of base units underneath quartz worktops support the kitchen and make for a super place to entertain with a substantial access via bi-fold doors onto the terrace. In addition, there is a lovely sitting room with log burner, and ancillary to the house are the boot room, and cloakroom.

On the first floor, there are four double bedrooms and a family bathroom positioned off the landing area. The principal bedroom and guest bedroom both enjoy en-suites facilities, there is also a dressing room in the principal bedroom. The views across open countryside with the round-towered church in the distance are very impressive and have been beautifully captured by the owner's arrangement.

To the rear of the house is a recently constructed double garage of traditional brick and timber clad design, built to complement the main house. This provides secure parking along with useful storage and potential for ancillary use, subject to the necessary consents.

The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and interspersed with mature trees and shrub borders, enhancing the privacy and charm of the setting. The Terrace which adjoins the kitchen area is a super space and importantly, faces south. The gardens also include a well and a shingled path leads out from the front of the house to the boundary where there is a small seating area capturing the views back towards the house. Tithe Farmhouse blends the timeless charm of a traditional Suffolk farmhouse with the modern comforts of a top to bottom renovation. Lovingly updated by the current owner, every detail has been carefully considered, resulting in a home that offers the aesthetic of a historic farmhouse combined with the standards of a new build.

The property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a well-positioned rural home in this sought-after corner of north Suffolk.
