Dating back to 1403, The Grove is an impressive timber framed property offering approximately over 3000sq.ft of accommodation and is the oldest property in the popular village of Worlingworth, just 5 miles from the well-known Framlingham.To the rear of the property is the informal entrance that gives a beautiful more everyday access to the property, with ample space for coats and shoes. This leads to the kitchen, which has a vaulted ceiling giving a contemporary feel, alongside a staircase built sympathetically in a modern style but echoing the Tudor feeling, with exposed brick leads to the first floor. A Rayburn style cooker keeps the charm and character of the kitchen with a large island unit, sink area with dishwasher and breakfast bar which leads into the dining room, this is a real hub of the house.

Exposed timbers are a feature of the dining room, which leads to the drawing room, and in turn leads to the sitting room which also has an Inglenook fireplace, exposed timbers and ample storage space.

At the rear of the house is a study, believed to have originally been the farm office, which has a reclaimed woodblock flooring, in the traditional herringbone style. The utility room, originally a dairy, offers a further kitchenette area and leads in a ground floor shower room.

A porch between the sitting and drawing room leads to the traditional front door

On the first floor, a landing connects the two staircases from the ground floor, giving access to four bedrooms. The spacious principal bedroom has the benefit of an ensuite bathroom and walk in storage. The inner landing offers versatility, giving a route to the bathroom and has been used as a bedroom by our vendor, but could equally be a dressing room. The bathroom has a well presented suite, tongue and groove panelling and exposed floorboards.

The second floor has attic rooms, which can function as one or two quaint bedroom areas, invoking the history of The Grove.
With railings to front and a mature lawn with a range of established plants, shrubs and trees, The Grove has an instant appeal. The driveway to the side is owned by The Grove, but there is a shared access for the two properties to the rear. A newly built two storey garage is situated behind an off road parking area, and offers versatile opportunities for storage or home working. A further cart lodge provides storage, with two attached outbuildings, all fitted with electricity. The delightful grounds have a good sized pond adding to the tranquillity of the garden.
