A Georgian Country House Near the Suffolk Heritage Coast
The Grade II-listed Cedar Court dates back to the 18th century and features a symmetrical red-brick facade with deep sash windows, and a central Venetian window above a fine, fluted portico.
The 7-bedroom home spans 6947 square feet and the classic interiors of this Georgian country house have been beautifully maintained. Its elegant principal rooms have fine fireplaces and decorative mouldings and working shutters on the windows, offering views out over the grounds.
The 32-foot dining room, once the ‘ballroom’, features herringbone pattern oak flooring and French doors which open out onto the sun trap terrace veranda, perfect for dining al fresco and entertaining.
The heart of Cedar Court, the kitchen / breakfast room, has been recently upgraded with underfloor heating, bespoke units, and a new pantry. The basement contains a multi-purpose game room, a workshop, and a wine vault.
Beautifully maintained and set within 6.75 acres of parkland and gardens, the Georgian country house is approached via a long, treed drive.
The bucolic grounds have a series of ‘garden compartments’ lovingly maintained over the past 35 years with trees planted to create shade and shelter.
Wide lawns double as grass tennis courts and croquet lawns, and there’s a crinkle crankle walled garden, kitchen gardens and an orchard. Tucked behind original wrought-iron gates, find Cedar Court’s secret water garden.
Further afield, a meadow with a stable and barns create an idyllic equestrian area, and the property also comes with a former coach house which can be converted.
The Queen Anne-style country house is just a mile from the Suffolk Heritage Coast, a designated area of outstanding beauty.
