For those using the What3Words app: ///cold.brisk.hexes Description Willoughby House is a Grade II Listed, principal village house, that offers a good range of outbuildings together with delightful gardens and grounds of approximately 3 acres, in an accessible location between Framlingham and Wickham Market.

According to the Listing Schedule, Willoughby House dates from the 17th Century and is of timber frame construction with rendered and colourwashed elevations set beneath plaintile and slate roofs.

Willoughby House offers a very good amount of accommodation, extending to nearly 3,000 sq. ft (260 sqm) in all.

On the ground floor the front door opens into the dining hall with principal staircase to the first floor and with doors leading off to the sitting room and kitchen/breakfast room.

The focal point of the sitting room is the substantial open brick fireplace, which houses a woodburning stove, and this links well, via an inner hallway with a secondary staircase and cloakroom off, to the drawing room, which is a wonderfully atmospheric reception room with Victorian iron hob fireplace and French doors that open out onto the terrace and gardens.

The kitchen/breakfast room is the heart of the house, and has been refurbished in recent years by the current vendors.

The bespoke kitchen units were all handmade, and benefit from Quartz worksurfaces, with the chimney retained that is sufficiently large enough to accommodate a range cooker or similar.

The island unit and breakfast table were also cleverly designed, and are attached to one another.

From here there is direct access to the delightful garden and grounds, together with doors to the practical utility room and refurbished shower room.

On the first floor there is a generous landing area, which can also be accessed via the secondary staircase. From here there is access to the three good size double bedrooms and family bathroom.

On the second floor there are the two attic bedrooms (one walk-through) and a useful attic storage room.

Outside There is a generous shingled driveway, beside which is the former stables that now offer cart lodge and ancillary storage, together with a games room/office if required.

To the rear of Willoughby House are the delightful gardens and grounds.

Facing in a south-easterly direction, the gardens enjoy the direct sun throughout the morning, and parts of the garden during the latter part of the day.

Immediately adjoining the rear of the property is a terraced area, set beneath a pergola supporting a maturing vine, that can be directly accessed from the drawing room.

Beyond this is the gardens and grounds, which are predominantly laid to grass for ease of maintenance, but interspersed with a number of mature trees and shrubs.

There is also the vegetable patch, which is enclosed within established beach hedging.

The garden benefits from a number of outbuildings including the summerhouse with patio area, a greenhouse, together with timber frame and brick built storage sheds.

Beyond the formal gardens is a small pond and a former paddock, which is now used as a football pitch and ‘mini golf’ range.

This area is interspersed with a number of mature trees and backs onto the River Ore, with direct views of St Mary’s Church across the adjacent field.

The former paddock benefits from its own independent vehicular access beside Willoughby House for ease of maintenance.

In all, the gardens and grounds extend to approximately 3.14 acres (1.27 hectares). Viewing Strictly by appointment with the agent. Services Mains electricity and water.
