Location
Spexhall Hall is situated along a private drive in an outstanding rural location.  The Hall is a 20 minute walk from the nearest pub, the Huntsman and Hounds at Spexhall.  The market town of Halesworth is just 2 miles.  Here are a variety of shops, pubs, restaurants, cafés, as well as a doctors surgery, vets and a Coop supermarket.  The town is also home to the thriving community of the Arts Centre, The New Cut, which is used for exhibitions, workshops, cinema and theatre.  There is also a railway station that has services on the Ipswich to Lowestoft line and conveniently provides links to London’s Liverpool Street Station and Norwich.  Bungay is 7 miles and offers further shops and services.  The city of Norwich is 22 miles and the county town of Ipswich, 32 miles.  Suffolk’s Heritage Coast with well known and popular destinations such as Southwold is approximately 11 miles.

Description
Spexhall Hall is a most impressive Grade II Listed timber framed dwelling which is believed to date from the 15th century.  Of particular note are the high ceilings in the majority of the reception rooms. The vendors have enjoyed the property with their family for over 30 years.  It is recognised that an incoming purchaser may wish to carry out a refurbishment programme.  To assist with this, the vendors have commissioned an independent building survey and damp/timber survey and these documents can be emailed by the agents to interested parties.

A front door provides access to a reception hall which has access to both the drawing room and sitting room.  Both rooms have exposed studwork and beams and notably high ceilings.  They are dual aspect and have fireplaces, one with a woodburning stove.  Off the sitting room is a study overlooking the rear garden.  Also from the sitting room are front a rear lobbies.  The front lobby has stairs leading to a half landing and continues up to landing one.  Off the half landing is a shower room with shower, WC, handwash basin and window to the front of the property.  Also from the half landing are stairs down to the dining room and further stairs rising to landing two.  The heavily timbered dining room is triple aspect and has south facing French doors opening up to a patio and the garden.  There is a fireplace with woodburning stove and door opening to stairs that lead down to the wine cellar.  Adjoining the dining room is the kitchen.  This classic farmhouse kitchen has high and low-level wall units with space and plumbing for a dishwasher, fridge and electric oven.  In addition there is a four oven oil-fired cream Aga.  The dual aspect kitchen has windows overlooking the garden and a door to the exterior.  A further door leads into the utility room which is home to the oil-fired boiler and has a butler sink.  There is space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer and in addition is a linen cupboard.  Off this is a cloakroom with WC.  

Landing one, which is to the front of the house, enjoys far reaching undulating field views.  There is access to three double bedrooms.  The principal bedroom has a window to the rear of the property, a brick fireplace, walk-in wardrobe and door to an en-suite bathroom which has a bath, WC, handwash basin and a window to the rear of the property.  Bedroom two has fine south facing views to the front of the property, exposed timbers and a built-in wardrobe.  Bedroom three, again is a double, and has a window to the rear of the property and a built-in wardrobe.  Adjacent is a family bathroom with bath, WC, handwash basin, linen cupboard and window to the rear.  Stairs from landing one lead to the attic rooms.  These make for excellent storage but have scope, subject to the normal consents, to form further living accommodation.  

From landing two, which has a window overlooking the garden, there is access to three further bedrooms.  Bedroom four is a good size double bedroom and enjoys views over the garden and private driveway.  This has a handwash basin and walk-in wardrobe.  Bedrooms four and five can both be used as doubles and, subject to consent, could be turned back into one bedroom as they would have been historically.  

The Outside
The property is approached from a small lane over a treelined private drive that continues to the Hall’s buildings and substantial parking areas.  The Hall is part moated and within this to the south and west are the more formal gardens.  These are laid to grass and include flowerbeds.  In addition is a southwest facing patio and attractive flint and brick high-level wall.  There is also a summer house.  

The buildings lie mainly to the side and rear of the Hall.  They date from various eras, with the majority being from the mid to late 20th century.  

There is a particularly useful brick and block workshop/garage with concrete floor which measures 44’ x 23’9.  Adjoining this is a building of a similar era measuring approximately 44’ x 19’.  In addition are a range of basic former stables.  There is also a brick building which is two storey, measuring 31’10 x 17’.  Adjoining this is a useful open sided garage/store measuring 32’10 x 32’.

Beyond the Hall, moat, gardens and buildings is a meadow.  This is enclosed by mature hedging, trees and fencing.  In all, the grounds extend to 4.8 acres.

Services  
Mains electricity.  
Mains water (the mains water meter is located near Spexhall Village Hall, with a private pipe serving Spexhall Hall running along the road verge/field to the Hall itself).
Two private drainage systems (whilst the vendors believe that the septic tanks work in a satisfactory manner, they are unlikely to comply with the modern regulations.  A buyer should budget to install a new sewage treatment plant/s and this has been taken into account within the guide price).
