The Property
Passing the ornate facade of this stunning Suffolk grey brick, Victorian home we start absorbing many of the details our vendors have worked so hard to preserve whilst creating a stunning living space that works seamlessly around modern living and entertaining. Within the main house we find an array of fireplaces and original tiled floors that contrast against the many modern yet sympathetic fixtures and upgrades that have been made. On the ground floor we find two stunning bay fronted rooms set to either side of the spacious tiled entrance hall, a 26.ft sitting room & library enjoys a dual aspect providing a bright and calm space to relax whilst on the opposite side of the hall the formal dining room flows open plan into the kitchen breakfast room. These two spaces flow wonderfully again creating a bright and spacious feel enjoying the dual aspect it offers, ideal when entertaining or simply managing busy family life. The kitchen has been recently refitted to now provide a modern yet sympathetic space finished to an exacting standard. A large walk in pantry is set above the full height, brick lined wine cellar found on the lower ground floor. Passing the ground floor lavatory we step into an ultra modern garden room which enjoys a full wall of glazed doors opening to the courtyard and links to the secondary accommodation/office space. On the upper floors of Camden House we find no less than four generous double bedrooms which are flooded with light from the large sash windows. On the first floor two of the bedrooms are set to the right of the staircases whilst on our left the principle bedroom links to the large en-suite and dressing room. The shower room completes the first floor and echoes the superb, sympathetic finish throughout. On the second floor we find the forth of the double bedrooms and a large attic room which offers excellent storage and could serve as a fifth bedroom simply by decorating accordingly. Returning to the garden we access the secondary building which also enjoys independent access from the gardens, this converted stable and hay loft has been executed to the high standard found throughout and now boasts two first floor offices (potential bedrooms), two reception areas, kitchen breakfast room and shower room. Our current vendors have used the space for storage and a fantastic home office set-up, an impressive space offering absolute flexibility in its use.
Outside
Approaching Camden House from Lower Olland Street we find our off road parking in front of the double gates which open to the rear and give access to the courtyard garden and garage. From the footpath we push open a wrought iron gate which parts the ornate brick wall and a crimson and cream diamond tiled path leads us over the shingled front courtyard garden where we step below the the storm porch and push open the stained glass front door to Camden House. At the rear we find an extensive paved courtyard garden which has been carefully planned and beautifully executed to offer a superb extension to this impressive home.. Natural stone lines the courtyard whilst a range of beds frame and dissect areas of the garden bringing bursts of colour and scent throughout the seasons. Glazed doors open from both parts of the property to enjoy a view and access to the space. Barn style doors open to the brick garage which is connected with power and light.
