House For Sale £875,000
Set on the beautiful Suffolk Coasts and Heaths, Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this unique property is tucked away in Dunwich on a highly regarded peaceful and private drive, leading into the coastal footpath through ancient woods, monastery ruins to the sea.
This former Coach House makes a wonderful conversion and is light and spacious throughout. Offering 2000 square feet of accommodation, there is plenty of space for families. Currently set up for two large bedrooms, the vendors designed a three-bedroom conversion into the design, as well as there being further potential for a studio conversion (S.T.P.) in the tack room where the coachman slept on a mezzanine floor - so it is easy to have more bedroom space if desired.
The Old Coach House is deceptively spacious throughout and the accommodation flows exceptionally well. On the ground floor, there are four large reception rooms, with high ceilings and timber flooring throughout. From the courtyard, you enter through a stable door into a sizeable kitchen/diner with a large picture window overlooking the south-facing garden - great for watching birds! There is a handy, newly fitted pantry to the rear of the kitchen. The 17 feet lounge is a lovely room to relax with a cast-iron multi-fuel burner for winters and windows to one wall with double doors to the garden letting in plenty of light. The family room is 21 feet long with a picture window to the front, and stairs leading to the first floor. The games room could be used in a variety of ways, and benefits from a bar area, copper sink and wine chiller, with double doors opening to the courtyard - a lovely sun-trap! A recently refitted and stylish shower room completes the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs has quite a wow-factor with its gable ceilings and exposed timber beams, as well as plenty of insulation under the roof to keep you warm. There is a characterful landing offering usable living space such as option for small study area. There is ladder access to a quirky open loft area for storage. The two large bedrooms are light, peaceful, and uniquely charming. One offers an en-suite WC and the other, at 21 feet long, could easily be subdivided, should this be desired. The stunning family bathroom is generously proportioned and benefits from a spacious glass panel shower and beautiful roll-top bath. There are new large Velux windows so you can take advantage of the Dunwich dark skies and view the moon and stars from your bed or use the black-out blinds to sleep! You can often hear the sound of the waves from the sea as well as the owls.
Outside to the front courtyard, there is an area for parking and a large store/workshop with washing machine etc. This has further potential to have a garage door fitted, or it could be converted into further accommodation (S.T.P). The garden is south-facing and very private, with a raised bank to the rear giving a good feeling of seclusion. It is mainly laid to lawn with wild-flowers, bulbs, mature trees and shrubs. Outbuildings include an oak timber, tiled log-shed positioned close to the log-burner and fire-pit, and a further store/potting shed, with power connected, is a small replica of a Suffolk Wagon Shed. There are a few areas set for table and chairs, and a small pond and water feature, which lights up in the dark evenings into a magical display.
The house benefits from an oil-fired central heating system, with a new external boiler in 2022.
In every direction, there is an abundance of footpaths through ancient woodland, heaths, forests, and along the beach. The Dunwich National Trust is nearby for which you get free parking and also the Minsmere RSPB Bird Reserve. Dunwich has four cafes including the fish and chip shop (& mobile sauna), and the well-regarded public house, The Ship, and the Dunwich Museum.
A unique home with plenty to offer buyers, we highly advise viewing to appreciate the position and accommodation on offer.
