Overview

Old Coach House is a charming Grade II Listed property, with a self-contained annexe, set in the beautiful grounds of Woodhall Manor in the heart of the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The property, thought to date from the 18th century, or possibly earlier, features spacious reception rooms with plenty of period character, while the annexe include comfortable living space and the clever use of the old horse stalls in the design.

There are two main reception rooms on the ground floor of the house. Both are generously proportioned, with the sitting room measuring 30ft and the music room 28ft. Both rooms have windows to the front and rear, welcoming plenty of natural light, as well as impressive open fireplaces and timber beams overhead. The kitchen/breakfast room provides plenty of storage space and room for all of the necessary appliances, and overlooking the gardens and neighbouring pond. Upstairs there are four double bedrooms, including the well-proportioned principal bedroom, which has its own wash basin and small dressing room. The first floor also has the family bathroom, while there is a further bathroom to the ground floor.

The annexe provides splendid further accommodation for guests or family members, and could be used as a holiday let; subject to the necessary consents. The accommodation includes a comfortable reception room, a dining area, a fully equipped kitchen, two double bedrooms and a bathroom.
