Elegant Georgian house convenient for Suffolk coast
Description
Wrentham House is an elegant Grade II listed Georgian residence nestled in the village of Wrentham, about five miles from the coastal town of Southwold and about two miles from the renowned beach at Covehithe. Dating back to circa 1820, this grand eight-bedroom home is set in about 3.07 acres of attractive grounds and offers a perfect blend of period features and modern conveniences.
As you step through the front door, you are greeted by a spacious and welcoming entrance hall, setting the tone for the elegance that awaits within. This leads to four versatile reception rooms including the well-proportioned Drawing Room which is ideal for formal gatherings or quiet evenings. A lovely south-east facing Sitting Room and Dining Room provide ample space for entertaining, dining or simply relaxing with French doors to the former opening out to the gardens via an attractive Victorian veranda. An impressive Billiards Room completes the reception space with a triple aspect of large sash windows that flood the room with natural light. The hallway leads on to a useful study and cloakroom and then through to the rear of the house where a spacious bespoke kitchen lies as well as the more practical elements every family home needs including a sizable utility room, boot room, laundry room and access to the cellar.
A central staircase leads to the first and second floors where seven generously sized bedrooms are located, each with its own unique character. The impressive principal bedroom includes a spacious en suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe, and there are four further en suite bedrooms ensuring the house offers convenience and privacy for all guests.
To the rear of the property, with access gained principally via the kitchen, is an attractive enclosed courtyard. This offers access to the range of outbuildings formerly used as stabling but now providing a fantastic home office on the first floor with storage and garaging below. The courtyard also provides a wonderful area for informal entertaining al fresco. The grounds are meticulously maintained and largely laid to lawn with established shrubs and trees providing a mature setting. Of particular note is a Victorian glasshouse which provides a wonderful vista of the large walled garden. Beyond this the land leads down to a stream and has attractive views of the Benacre Estate beyond.
Location
