Description

White House Lodge is a pretty detached, fur bedroom period house situated on the edge of Leavenheath - chain free.

Positioned centrally within its plot of approximately half an acre (STS), the property sits well back from the road behind a five bar gate with a sweeping gravel drive.

The original part of the house is believed to date back to the 1840’s with later additions making it a spacious family home. A welcoming entrance hall leads to the snug with a brick fireplace.

On the opposite side, lies the sitting room offering an attractive red brick fireplace with inset log burner and double glazed doors which open onto the rear sun terrace partly covered by an attractive pergola with climbing Clematis creating a cool shaded area.

At the very end of the house, to the north/east side lies a study. Beyond these rooms, towards the rear of the property is a cloakroom and a sunny and welcoming open plan kitchen/dining room with bi-fold doors overlooking the beautiful terrace and secluded garden beyond.

On the first floor, a spacious landing leads to four double bedrooms and the family bathroom.

Outside

To the front lies a well kept lawn and sweeping gravel drive providing ample off road parking with garage and workshop. To the south west side of the house, a shepherds hut with electricity connected lending itself to many uses.

A well maintained sun terrace wraps around the entirety of the rear of the house with gardens beyond overlooking farmland.

Location

Leavenheath can be found just off the A134, providing easy access to Sudbury, Colchester, A12 and Ipswich. It is a perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility. There is excellent schooling on offer for all ages in the surrounding areas, within both private and state sectors. Leavenheath itself offers a popular pub, and will soon be opening a shop.

The 36 hole Stoke by Nayland Golf Club and Spa lies approximately 1 mile away, as well as outstanding restaurants in nearby Lavenham and Stoke by Nayland.
