Peter Ogilvie, head of residential sales at Savills in Suffolk, said: “I love Moonfleet. Built in 2009 by a well-known local builder, it has been fully renovated to a very high standard and beautifully and sympathetically finished with incredible attention to detail.
“The easy flowing layout links the garden to the internal space, with numerous features including exposed, reclaimed wooden floors, well-proportioned rooms and French windows – all combined with being in one of the most sought-after locations on the Suffolk coast.”
Externally, the property is part brick with cedar-clad weatherboard elevations under pitched titled roofs, while internal accommodation is laid out over three floors.
A light and airy reception hall invites you inside, and opens to a large reception room on one side, which includes a wood burning stove and exposed beams to the ceiling. This room is open plan to a dining room with roof lights French doors leading out on to a terrace.
On the other side of the reception hall is a cloakroom and a cosy snug, and off the rear of the hall is a bespoke kitchen, which can also be accessed from the dining room. It benefits from a wide range of base and wall units with wooden worktops, as well as a large, rustic island with a marble worktop and a modern induction range cooker. This room also enjoys “delightful views over the garden”.
