Tower End House is a beautiful attached 19th Century English Baronial style Grade II Listed property offering immense character and benefits from a separate Coach House Cottage comprising kitchen, bathroom and bedroom/sitting room, large double garage below and secluded private gardens.

DETAILS
ABOUT THE PROPERTY Tower End House forms part of a larger property formerly known as Melton Towers, dating back to the mid 19th Century. It is listed Grade II of special architectural and historic interest. The property is of solid red brick construction in an English Baronial style built under a plain tiled roof and crow-stepped gable end with adjoining three-storey tower with an embattlement roofs. We understand from the vendor that the core of the building dates from the late 18th Century with the external features being added in the mid 19th Century. Tower End House has been meticulously maintained by the current owners and benefits from gas fired central heating, excellent decorative order, good sized reception and bedrooms and characterful casement windows with glazing bars throughout most of the property. The top room in the tower offers far reaching views towards Sutton Hoo and the River Deben towards Woodbridge. There are two separate gardens, one being adjacent to the main house, the second being a large secluded, part walled garden adjacent to St Andrew's Church.

In addition, part of the original stable block forms the Coach House Cottage. This can be used as separate accommodation relating to the main residence and has planning permission for holiday letting. Beneath the Coach House Cottage is a large garage.
