Calder Road, Melton

A handsome and well-presented Georgian conversion with light and impressive statement rooms.

The property forms part of a terrace of four impressive conversions of the former Georgian St Audry’s Hospital situated in the heart of the popular Melton Park. With its handsome brick facades, high ceilings and tall sash windows, the property offers light and elegantly presented accommodation, with a number of impressive statement rooms, extending to some 2,684 sq ft.

The accommodation flows well from a reception hall into the impressive 33ft open plan kitchen/living room, with a fully fitted kitchen at one end featuring marble worksurfaces, and a sitting area at the other with a fireplace flagged by book and display shelves as its focal point. Double part glazed doors open into a delightful drawing room, with a south facing hexagonal bay. There is a good-sized study, together with a utility room and cloakroom. On the first floor, off a spacious landing, are three double bedrooms and a single, including the master bedroom which mirrors the drawing room below with its hexagonal south elevation bay affording views across the parkland grounds.

LOCATION

The property stands in the heart of Melton Park, an award-winning development of Georgian conversions and period-style new houses, within a parkland setting. Approached over a long driveway, which runs through a golf course, the park enjoys an accessible location, with the nearby village of Melton providing a range of local facilities and the Ufford Park Golf Course providing further leisure facilities including a swimming pool, within walking distance.

The well-renowned Woodbridge Golf Course is also easily accessible just across the River Deben, in the neighbouring village of Bromeswell, whilst the picturesque riverfront town of Woodbridge lies about 1½ miles to the west and provides a full range of local shopping and commercial facilities, together with good schools in both the state and private sectors catering for all age groups. Additionally there is a wide range of recreational facilities including sailing, rowing, tennis, swimming, football and rugby clubs. The A12, which by-passes Woodbridge and Melton, is easily accessible and links the county town of Ipswich (9 miles) and beyond to London and the M25, as well as Cambridge and The Midlands (via the A14). There are regular rail services which run from nearby Melton Station to London’s Liverpool Street Station via Ipswich.
