A four-bedroom detached property close to Alton Water is up for sale at a guide price of £1.15 million.
“Apple Cottage is one of a small number of properties making up Tattingstone Park which was converted from the original estate buildings in the 1970s,” said selling agent Jackson-Stops.
The house is in a secluded setting adjacent to the impressive Tattingstone Place, which is close to Ipswich and Manningtree.
On the ground floor of this newly refurbished property, which boasts 3,084 sq ft of accommodation, there’s a spacious reception hall, which leads to the drawing room and kitchen/living room/conservatory.
The twin-aspect drawing room features a brick fireplace with wood-burning stove, French doors which lead onto a side terrace and a door to the open-plan kitchen/living room/conservatory.
This stunning, 29ft long living space includes a range of drawer and cupboard units with a granite worktop, an AGA and a large island.
The whole space benefits from a limestone tiled floor with underfloor heating, including the west-facing conservatory, which has French doors leading onto a raised terrace.
From the terrace there are views across the gardens and adjoining meadow and woodland beyond.
Set off the living room is a family room, study, utility room and cloakroom.

On the first floor, there's a landing area leading to all four bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The impressive principal suite benefits from a study, dressing room and a luxurious en-suite bathroom with free-standing bath and separate shower.
The second bedroom has an en-suite shower room.
Apple Cottage is set at the end of a long, tree-lined, private driveway. Outside, there’s an area of lawn, a driveway leading to the integral garage and electric car charging point, and an enclosed garden with a pond.
A five-bar gate opens into the main gardens, which are situated to the rear of the house.
There are two terraces, ideal for alfresco dining, with paths and steps down to the lower gardens and circular firepit terrace.
The gardens, which are mainly laid to lawn, are enclosed by post and rail and willow weave fencing. They include a number of apple trees, which the property takes its name from.

There’s a multi-purpose garden studio in the grounds, with light and power connected, which is currently used as a gym but could be utilised as a home office or games room.
In addition, there’s a timber potting shed and a basement store beneath the conservatory.
Apple Cottage is set in a secluded courtyard, which is close to Tattingstone village and Alton Water reservoir.
Tattingstone has a church, village hall, primary school and two pubs. The reservoir offers a wide range of fishing and watersport opportunities.
The property is approximately six miles from Ipswich railway station and five miles from Manningtree railway station. Trains from Manningtree to London take about 65 minutes.
