6 bed property for sale

Ringshall, Stowmarket, Suffolk IP14

Tucked away up a quiet country lane, ideal for walking, cycling and riding, this fine Georgian home presents a picture-perfect frontage: Symmetrical, gault brick with sash windows, framed by estate railings and a sweeping lawn. But as is often the case with houses of this era, the façade tells only part of the story. Behind its formal frontage lies a deeper, more layered history, with an extended rear wing that doubles the footprint and offers a wealth of character features.

Character at Every Turn Step inside via the impressive double-height porch, crowned with limestone ball finials, and you're immediately greeted with a sense of grandeur. Either side of the entrance hall, two generous reception rooms capture natural light through tall sash windows.

The right-hand sitting room has a more formal air, with a Jacobean-style brick fireplace and intricately carved ceiling beams embellished with fleur-de-lys and Tudor roses. Opposite, the left-hand sitting room feels more relaxed, centred on an inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove and a carved staircase rising to the first floor.

Everyday Living The kitchen blends history with contemporary flair. Oak beams and a traditional fireplace housing an Everhot range meet smooth stone flooring, sleek cabinetry and a large island for entertaining. Light pours in from full-height windows and glazed doors opening onto the terrace. A walk-in pantry adds practical storage, while the adjoining dining room – with polished boards and another woodburner – provides the perfect setting for lively family suppers or formal gatherings.

A well-appointed utility room and a bright studio/home office complete the ground floor, with access through to the double garage.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms Upstairs, two substantial bedrooms occupy the front of the house, each with fireplaces and polished floorboards, sharing a handsome panelled bathroom with a roll-top bath. One benefits from a dressing room, suggesting its role as the principal suite. Further bedrooms are arranged across the first and second floors, including charming attic rooms beneath the eaves. Bathrooms are beautifully finished, with Carrara marble in the shower room adding a touch of elegance.

Gardens and Grounds The setting is as impressive as the house itself. Nearly three acres of grounds are bordered by mature trees and open farmland, offering privacy and space. Expansive lawns, meadows, and a tree-lined avenue create variety, while raised beds and a large sun terrace provide opportunities for gardening and outdoor entertaining. With multiple parking areas and a double garage, the practicalities are as well catered for as the lifestyle.
