Believed to date back to the 17th century, Claypits Hall is an impressive Grade II Listed five bedroom country home surrounded by idyllic Suffolk countryside on the outskirts of Foxearth village which straddles the Essex/Suffolk border.
Like most farmhouses, the property is accessed by either the front elevation or from the side via the useful boot room/utility. Internally the formal dining room opens up, allowing for plenty of space to enjoy and entertain with a spacious sitting room adjacent, both benefitting from open fireplaces and fantastic natural light. Further in is the useful study or snug, also benefitting from an impressive fireplace.
To the rear of the property is the heart of the home; a well-proportioned, newly refurbished shaker-style kitchen/breakfast room with a separate pantry, integrated appliances, a wonderful kitchen-island as well as bi-fold doors opening onto the gardens across the full length of the rear. Off the utility/boot room is a cloakroom.
To the first floor is the principal bedroom, with an impressive en suite with dressing room. Further on this floor are two bedrooms as well as a family bathroom. The second floor hosts two additional bedrooms, both with en suite bathrooms and have the shared use of a playroom and cloakroom.

Services: Oil fired central heating. Mains water and electricity services are connected. We understand that the private drainage at this property is unlikely to comply.
Council Tax: Band G
Tenure: Freehold<br /><br />The property is approached through a private lane surrounded by farmland and countryside views, which leads to a gravelled area with plenty of space for parking and access to the garaging, cart lodges and barn. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn, and benefit of a variety of mature trees, shrubs and flower beds and a paved terrace that overlooks the duck pond, creating the ideal space for al fresco-dining.
To one side of the gardens is a wildflower garden, whilst to the other, is the large barn; providing additional storage, or the opportunity to be converted subject to relevant permissions.
In all about 2.34 acres<br /><br />Claypits Hall is situated on the edge of the beautiful village of Foxearth, which is considered one of the prettiest villages in West Suffolk and straddles the Essex/Suffolk border. The village of Long Melford is 2.5 miles away and has a wealth of history, as well as a shop, a surgery, pharmacy, post office, seven pubs and primary school. The market town of Sudbury and Mediaeval village of Lavenham are both within 4.4 and 7.4 miles respectively and have a range of shopping and recreational facilities, though Sudbury has a railway line. Colchester town is less than 19 miles south and Bury is 17 miles to the north, both offering extensive range of shopping and recreational facilities as well as a mainline rail service to London Liverpool Street taking less than an hour.
