Look inside Suffolk House in Kedington, former home of poet and playwright Herman Merivale, which is on the market for £1.1million

A Georgian house nestled in a quaint Suffolk village, which was the home of a poet and playwright in the early 1900s, has been placed on the market for £1.1 million.

Suffolk House in Kedington, near Haverhill, was home to Herman Merivale in around 1904, as well as one of the Sainsbury family, and boasts a rich history dating back to 1850.

This Grade II listed property still has its original cheese room, where villagers came to buy cheese in the Georgian and Victorian eras.

It has five bedrooms, one of which has a balcony which overlooks the garden, as well as four reception rooms, two upstairs bathrooms, a utility room and a cellar.

Outside, there is a spacious garden with a cart lodge, as well as a walled 'secret' garden complete with a patio and pergola.

There are also two annexes, with the potential to bring in over £20,000 a year. One, a barn conversion, has a kitchen/dining room, shower room, utility room, sitting room and two bedrooms and the other, ‘The Creamery’ with a sitting room, kitchen, shower room and one bedroom.

The property is on the market with Cheffins and is listed at £1.1 million. For more information, call 01440 707076.
