About the Property
Little Haugh offers a rare opportunity to acquire a four-bedroom character house and an adjacent two/three bedroom converted barn, set in grounds extending to about 27 acres (sts) located on the bank of the River Deben. Little Haugh enjoys stunning views over the river and the grounds are within an (sssi) a site of special scientific interest. The property benefits from an additional parcel of woodland extending to about two acres (sts) and a former landing stage that now requires restoration. Little Haugh would make an ideal home for keen sailors, naturalists, golfers who frequent the highly regarded local golf courses, people looking to acquire a home with an investment property or families looking for an opportunity for multigenerational living.
Formerly two cottages that are believed to date back to C17, Little Haugh is an extended four bedroom detached timber framed thatched house with a tiled roof on the extension. We are advised that the roof was re-thatched in 1997 with Norfolk Reed and that it has since been renovated and repaired as required. Arranged over two floors the accommodation comprises; Open fronted porch, entrance hall, WC, triple aspect reception room divided into sitting and dining areas by a double-sided fireplace and benefitting from a French window opening to the garden, study with canted bay, open plan kitchen/dining room and a utility room. A carpeted staircase rises to the first-floor landing providing access to four vaulted double bedrooms with built in cupboards, an en-suite shower room, family shower room and family bathroom.
The converted and extended barn has previously been used as an office and a home, it provides additional accommodation and would be ideal for families looking for a second property offering multi-generational living for their parents or children. Predominantly arranged on one floor with mezzanine off the reception area, the accommodation comprises; Entrance porch, dual aspect living room with vaulted ceiling and stairs leading to a mezzanine that has been used as a study and is currently used as a twin bedroom, open plan kitchen/dining room, rear lobby, two wc/shower rooms and two dual aspect ground floor double bedrooms. There is an open fronted store at the end of the barn that is used for storing logs and an office between the store and residential accommodation that may offer further potential subject to any necessary consents.
The properties are accessed via a gated shingle drive and set well back from the private road that provides access from Wilford Bridge and runs parallel with the river Deben. The gardens are mainly laid to grass with mature trees bordered by streams on either side and there is a further steam in the rear garden. The detached properties have a private stream feed water supply with water treatment plant housed within the pump house/potting shed, oil fired central heating, an open fireplace within the cottage reception room and private drainage.
The field is located to the side of the property extending the water frontage as it follows the river bank and there is a small copse towards the centre. We are advised that there are five ponds on the property, a number of foot bridges over the streams, a boat shed and a workshop. The woodland is located to the left-hand side of the property and is separated from the grounds by a strip of land extending to about 1.06 acres (sts) that is owned by the National Trust and leased to the owners of Little Haugh by separate negotiation. The woodland can be accessed via a gate leading from the private road (the woodland will be found to the right-hand side of the track and another gate from the path to the house) and we have been advised that the neighbouring property (Dairy Farm) owns the adjoining section of woodland on the left-hand side of the track.
