A seven-bedroom home in a Suffolk village dating back to the 16th century is now available on the market.

The property in Bildeston, near Hadleigh, is an elegant period house with a range of outbuildings in over six acres of gardens and grounds.

It is now on sale with Jackson-Stops with a guide price of £1,850,000.

Sitting on the edge of Bildeston, the spacious family home dates back to the 16th century with Georgian and Victorian alterations to the property as well.

The large number of outbuildings include an annexe, games room, studio and gym space, a two-bedroom detached cottage as well as garaging and a carport.

A Georgian panelled front door gives access into the central reception hall, which features a window overlooking the garden, and the drawing room features double glazed casement windows to the side and back.

French doors lead to the garden and there is also an impressive fireplace in the drawing room with a wide marble mantel over a brick hearth with a log burning stove.

The dining room is well proportioned and has a large double glazed bay window with a window seat, an impressive fireplace with dark marble styled mantel, and built in alcove cupboards and display units.

A playroom/study features an arched casement window, three leaded internal windows, exposed brick flooring, an exposed ceiling beam and a high-level window light.

On the first floor, a spacious landing gives access to five double bedrooms, all with feature fireplaces, the master of which enjoys bespoke wardrobes and drawers. A second bedroom enjoys an en-suite bath/shower room too.

On the second floor there are two more double bedrooms.

The property benefits from orchard gardens set around the house with terrace areas, ideal for alfresco dining and there are landscaped pathways with flower and shrub beds and borders.

The meadows, which extend to the back and up a charming valley have been used to support and graze horses and livestock, but more recently have been left to grow and managed only with cut grass pathways, which is ideal for wildlife and affords the owner the liberty of charming walks around the property’s own grounds with a seasonal stream adding to the appeal of the setting.

The detached cottage includes an entrance hall, a kitchen, sitting/dining room, sun room, two first floor bedrooms and a bathroom.
