Description

This stunning lakeside property, known as The Lake House, occupies a prime position in the heart of Thorpeness, with breathtaking views across The Meare. Built in 1913, the property has been meticulously renovated and redesigned to maximize the incredible views and magical setting. The property features a beautifully landscaped garden with mature olive trees, roses, and lavender, leading to a private jetty and direct access to the water. The interior is immaculate, with light-filled rooms, American walnut and French limestone flooring, and underfloor heating throughout. The kitchen, designed by Mark Wilkinson, is a standout feature, with large roof lights, French doors, and a four-oven Aga. The property also boasts four double bedrooms, two with en-suite bathrooms, and a separate annexe known as The Lily Pad, which can be used as a holiday let or additional accommodation. The property's gardens, designed by renowned landscape designer David Forestier-Walker, are a luxurious retreat, with a French limestone terrace, lavender beds, and a private jetty. The location is perfect, with the village of Thorpeness and its amenities just a short walk away, and the Suffolk Heritage Coast and Aldeburgh nearby.
