DISCOVER THE HISTORY & DESIGN
LOCATION
Situated along a private residential development on Walsham Road, to the North end of the village of Finningham, and 8 miles North of the market town of Stowmarket.
With private equestrian riding fields to the north, and open farmland views to the West.
GARDENS
Setting 1 The Woodlands apart is the substantial quarter acre of woodland gardens leading out towards Walsham Road.
This substantial plot offers many possibilities for its new owners to create their own ideal woodland retreat, and with a little preparation will provide a Summer haven for family and friends.
The extensive front garden is open and partially lawned with trees and shrubs, leading West from the driveway towards the furthest extent along Walsham Road.
The extent of the property boundary is well defined by post and rail fencing along the shared access driveway, a drainage ditch alongside Walsham Road, a chain link fencing to the South along neighbouring Alexander Drive, and a close-boarded wooden fence.
From the balcony take in treetop views across the full length of the garden, wrapping around the South side of the home to create a private, enclosed space ahead of the patio.
With the sun rising in the east, the bedrooms, dining room, kitchen and living room are illuminated in the mornings.
Thanks to its triple aspect, the living room captures all available sunlight throughout the day, and at sunset the garden is illuminated with a gorgeous, deep orange glow through the trees.
EXTERIOR
The front elevation faces due West and presents the characterful timber-framed construction clad with brickwork at ground floor level.
With timber boarding above, the roof is of pitched timber framed construction covered with concrete pantiles.
The roof is of chalet style. A pitched timber framed construction, gabled to the North and South ends.
A stainless steel flue pipe projects through the rear roof and serves the fireplace in the lounge, while a gabled roof canopy is provided over the entrance.
GROUND FLOOR
Stepping through the part-mullioned glazed hardwood doorway into the entrance hall you are greeted with a beautiful softwood boarding all round.
This thoughtful architectural detail not only provides superior insulation but also makes coming home a truly special experience.
LIVING ROOM
The feeling of being close to nature inside is ever-present, thanks to the large triple glazed windows which open up the living room to peaceful garden views.
The triple aspect includes 5 single pane windows plus equally light-loving patio doors as an entrance into the sheltered patio area of the South side garden.
The exposed central wood beam is one of many natural elements continuing the style of Swedish chalet living, and this is also reflected in the stone fireplace with its rich, softwood mantel.
In accordance with Swedish standards this home is extremely well insulated, with thermal insulation surpassing normal domestic UK construction.
The triple-glazed windows pivot outwood from the bottom. The triple-glazed doors open outwood as intended to prevent ingress of snow.
KITCHEN
The striking tongued and grooved pine boarding across the kitchen ceiling continues the Swedish chalet theme.
The natural wood kitchen units with laminate worktops offer potential for restyling and personalising, with a generous overall kitchen space to act as a canvas for a contemporary installation.
The dual aspect provides West-facing views across the driveway and front garden from the dual windows at the front, with a large side window towards the rear patio and garage.
The rear of the kitchen leads through to the utility room with separate sink, drainer and dual spacing for a washer dryer and additional fridge freezer.
DINING ROOM
The well-proportioned dining room can easily accommodate a full six or eight person dining table and doesn’t miss out on it’s share of window space.
As an alternative, it could serve well as a sizeable ground floor study, office or playroom.
W/C & STORAGE
The downstairs W/C isn’t limited by ceiling height thanks to it’s positioning opposite the staircase, and along with the heated towel rail offers spaces to install sizeable wall and floor storage.
A downstairs wardrobe for coats, boots and outwear is located to the right of the W/C, next to the water heater and airing cupboard.

Bathed in natural light thanks to the dual aspect and South-facing views, this luxurious primary suite offers both sophistication and serenity.
Custom hardwood bookshelves and eaves storage provide elegant organisation, while the walk-in wardrobe helps make best use of the space.
The stunning South-facing balcony creates an outdoor retreat perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation.
With room for seating and tables, and views across the extent of the South and West gardens, this elevated space seamlessly extends the primary suite's living area into the outdoors.
The en-suite shower room features picturesque views across the West garden thanks to another large triple-glazed privacy glass window.
Natural light streams in creating a spa-like atmosphere for your daily routine, and completing this thoughtfully designed sanctuary.
BEDROOM 2
The second bedroom also offers a dual aspect and shares the Eastern sunrise with the Primary bedroom.
Built-in storage solutions including a double wardrobe and integrated eaves storage maximise useable space while maintaining this bedroom's airy feel.
With bedroom 2 and bedroom 3 offering very similar dimensions, dual aspects and integrated storage, it's easier to keep all members of the family happy when it comes time to choose rooms.
BEDROOM 3

Notably, this bedroom's West-facing window provides views towards the West garden and enjoys the benefit of beautiful sunset illumination.

Perfect for the youngest member of the family, as a playroom, a guest retreat, or as a reading nook eagerly awaiting your shelves of books.
BATHROOM
Thoughtfully positioned at the heart of the sleeping quarters, the three-piece family bathroom serves all four bedrooms with equal convenience.
Natural light streams through the generous privacy glass window, providing instant ventilation and views of the West garden.
The bathroom's central location ensures minimal disruption during busy morning routines, making it an ideal shared space that combines practicality with comfort for the whole family.

Beautiful softwood staircase
The open tread softwood staircase continues the theme of rich, natural softwood from the entrance hall up to the first floor landing.
Access to the main roof void is via a ceiling hatch and integrated, fold-out ladder. The roof void is well ventilated and the construction of the roof offers considerable resistance to heat loss.
GARAGE
The large detached double garage to the North side of the property features two independent Henderson up and over steel doors, with a personnel door giving private access through to the utility room entrance of the house.
The garage is powered and lit, offering 3 elevated double socket points at the front, side, and rear.
The open floor space allows you to make the most of the 30 square metres available, and offers plenty of room for loading and unloading vehicles from inside the garage.
The pitched timber framed roof offers extensive overhead storage, adding to the external storage provided by the shed to the rear of the garage.
