Take a look at £9 million Martley Hall in Easton, near Woodbridge and Framlingham, with moat and indoor swimming pool
A 220-acre equestrian estate with an indoor swimming pool complex and a six-bedroom house surrounded by a moat is on the market.
Martley Hall in Easton, near Framlingham and Woodbridge, has undergone a number of changes since it was first built on the site of a much older house dating back to the Domesday Book, with the moat that surrounds the current house from that period.
It is now on sale with Knight Frank with a guide price of £9,000,000.
The front drive leads you over the moat to a gravelled parking area at the front of Martley Hall, with two foot bridges over the moat plus one vehicle bridge.
There is an AV (audio/video) system to the majority of the rooms in the house with smart lighting and heating, a state of the art security system and underfloor heating to the ground floor as well as leaded windows.
Through the front porch you enter the reception hall which has limestone flooring, exposed oak timbers and lime plaster walling.
The kitchen benefits from views over the moat towards the parkland outside.
On the first floor, the principal wing has a large bedroom, dressing room and ensuite bathroom. There are a further four ensuite bedrooms as well as a small double bedroom and family bathroom.
The arts and crafts extensions to the house, built in the 1890s, provide additional living space and give the house a note of grandeur.
Across the moat to the back of the house, is the walled garden which has undergone extensive refurbishment to create a private garden with two pétanque courts, a croquet lawn, pavilion kitchen and an indoor swimming pool complex.
There is a fully equipped bar, changing facilities, an infrared sauna, a steam room, a heated 15m pool and a jacuzzi.
The landscaped lawns flow seamlessly into the estate grounds and are complemented by two show gardens, with a tennis court and half basketball court nearby.
The folly that is positioned on the edge of the woodland in sight of Martley Hall was the folly to Easton Manor. It was transferred with Easton Park to Martley Hall in the 1920s and with some restoration, it could be used for entertainment.
The equine facilities at Martley Hall Stud are state-of-the-art with an Olympic sized indoor arena measuring 62m x 24m.
