Summary - HEATHERLANDS HOUSE ALDEBURGH ROAD ALDRINGHAM LEISTON IP16 4QH
7 bed 4 bath Detached
Seven bedrooms and four bathrooms across three floors
Heatherlands House is a substantial detached family home set in over 1.6 acres (STMS) of formal gardens and woodland, a short drive from the beaches at Thorpness and Aldeburgh. The property offers versatile living across three floors—around 3,700 sq ft—comprising four reception rooms, a brick-based conservatory, seven bedrooms and four bathrooms. The second-floor loft conversion provides a self-contained living area ideal for older children, guests or home working.
The house blends period styling with later updates: red brick farmhouse character, high ceilings and large rooms alongside double glazing installed post-2002. Practical outbuildings include a detached double garage and a brick-built utility/storage building. The grounds are a major asset, offering seclusion, mature planting and riverside access to the Hundred River.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations: the home is heated by an oil-fired boiler and is freehold; council tax is described as quite expensive. The house was constructed in the late 1970s/early 1980s in a period style (not an original Victorian build). Measurements and services have not been independently tested, so a full survey and service checks are recommended.
This property will suit families seeking space and privacy, or buyers wanting a character home with large grounds and potential for sensitive updating. The mix of formal garden, woodland and flexible accommodation makes it especially attractive to those who prioritise outdoor living and versatile interiors.
