The Street, Bedingfield, Suffolk, IP23 7LQ

The Lodge at Bedingfield is a truly one off detached house, of considerable quality and forethought, exceptional proportion and a square footage of around 2858 sq ft, excluding the garaging arrangement. The 3 storey design is beautifully laid out no doubt due to the central atrium with stairs winding between each of the floors. Consequently, each level benefits from its own 'hub' most notably as one enters the house on the ground floor and the wonderful reception hall along with the roomy first floor landing. The top floor unlike so many three storey homes has been perfectly accommodated within the roof space avoiding the so often found problem of reduced headroom and restricted movement. The whole house works particularly well. Of further note is the size of both the reception areas (including kitchen with its adjoining breakfast room) and bedrooms. I challenge anyone to show me a better sized master bedroom.

The current owners have created this marvellous home having purchased it 2016. Photovoltaic panels now adorn the south west facing roof having been installed in 2020 with otherwise, an oil fired Thermecon boiler supplying domestic hot water and radiators throughout.

Likewise, the gardens have been equally well attended to with many specimen herbaceous plants and shrubs along with a variety of fruit trees.

Entrance Hall 5.84m x 2.87m
Having walked up to the bespoke oak outer door which features striking Gothic Victorian carved detailing, one is greeted by a splendid entrance hall laid with oak flooring which incorporates a coir mat well. It is immediately apparent this house is a 'cut above' as details such as plaster cornices, doors, architraves, skirting boards and colour schemes are noted. The eye is drawn through into the three main reception areas including the kitchen in addition to the study at one side and the cloakroom off. The stairs, with cupboard beneath wind up through the central atrium to the second floor. Double radiator.

Driveway & Garaging
The Lodge sits back in a slightly elevated position, up from the road in a plot adjoining open farmland on one side. The driveway rises up to a parking and turning space comprising a combination of gravel and brick paviours. At one side sits the smart DOUBLE GARAGING arrangements comprising a door fronted principle garage space and a car port space alongside. Designed to complement the main house, the design incorporates brickwork, painted weatherboarding and tiles along with an element of oak framing. The garage space measures internally 17' x 8'7 (5.19m x 2.63m) with power and light connected. There is scope for roof space storage.

Gardens & Grounds
The garden is designed to be dog proof with picket fencing and gates at both sides. Lawn wraps around two sides taking advantage of the sunniest aspects which no doubt accounts for the well-stocked borders and flourishing mix of fruit trees. The house itself is adorned with a combination of wisteria and climbing roses which at their respective times of year are a real joy. The paved terrace, reached from the house as well, features two impressive 3m square sun parasols. A Summer House will remain.

One can walk around the entire house with a paved path running between the rear of the house and hedged boundary towards the field. Here can be found an outside tap and boxed outside water softener.
