Outside

Positioned in a wonderfully secluded and rural spot to the edge of the village of Hoxne, White House is approached via a large, gravelled area providing ample space for several cars and offers a variety of outbuildings including a summerhouse, tool shed and a woodstore. Immediately surrounding the house, the cottage gardens are filled with interest and colour and offer a secluded space in which to relax or dine al fresco. The remaining grounds offer potential for grazing, with a paddock to the west boundary, as well as an area garden mainly laid to lawn, found to the rear of the property.

The whole is interspersed and bordered by an array of mature trees and hedging, creating an oasis around the house, with ample room for play.

Set back from the house and nestled in the rear garden, the Shepherd's Hut, which is connected to electricity, offers charming additional accommodation, potential for income or use as a home office if required.
