House For Sale £825,000
Layfield is a truly stunning family home set in an enviable position between two of the most sought after villages in Suffolk with fantastic accessibility and a feeling of privacy and tranquillity. This property is believed to date back to the 16th century and has period features throughout including exposed honey-coloured timbers, original brick flooring, a magnificent crown post, exposed floorboards, an inglenook fireplace and wood burning stove.
You enter the property into an entrance hall which forks off giving access to the rest of the home. The "West Wing" of the property gives access to the formal sitting room. There is a staircase in this room which leads to two double bedrooms and a shower room. The "East Wing" opens into another sitting room with inglenook fireplace, wood burning stove, exposed timbers and original herringbone brick flooring. This leads on nicely to the dining room where the unused front door is located and adjoining kitchen. The kitchen has a range of utilities including
a gorgeous royal blue two stove aga, dishwasher, recessed space for a fridge/freezer, single oven, four ring induction hob and plenty of storage space. Off the kitchen is a small utility area which homes the boiler and washing machine and a small cloakroom with stable door to the garden.
The first floor is also accessed from the entrance hall and has a substantial under stair pantry/wine cupboard. The principle bedroom is found at the end of the landing with bespoke, soft shut wardrobes and dressing table. There is a second bedroom with adjoining ensuite bathroom that is joined from the hallway with the magnificent crown post. There is a fifth bedroom that is currently used as a study, with a door that could access the principle bedroom, making it an ideal potential dressing room. A family bathroom makes up the remainder of the first floor with lovely views over the back garden.
The plot totals about 1 acre (sts). There are wonderful courtyard gardens that have been fully landscaped that include a utility building, a converted triple garage which homes an impressive workshop, store and gym/home office, lowered dining courtyard, feature well, pergola and
alfresco dining terrace. There is also a large storage shed, 5 allotment beds, greenhouse and an orchard with mature and newly planted fruit trees. There is immediate off-road parking for up to 10 cars and additional parking can be used through the double gates into the garden.
Cavendish is deservedly considered to be one of the prettiest villages in Suffolk, being centred around a picturesque village green with a fine parish church adjacent. With an impressive collection of both timber frame and brick built properties the village also benefits from a village store, florist, two pubs and a restaurant. The property is only a short 10 minute walk to the village centre.
