Built in 1820 for Robert Reid, this spacious abode was fully renovated in 2024 blending historic elegance with modern luxury. Inside, the mansion exudes a regal yet welcoming ambiance, its spacious rooms adorned with Art Deco works, marble busts and oak-panelled walls, creating an atmosphere of refined sophistication. Guests are treated to a myriad of inviting spaces on the ground floor, from a light-filled library and morning room to a cosy snug, a music room and a grand sitting room. The contemporary, country-style kitchen is beautifully equipped for whipping up meals for a crowd with a triple range-style oven and a spacious central island to make light work of meal preparation. There’s a casual breakfast table in here, and a formal dining room for memorable mealtimes. There are nine bedrooms dotted throughout the property, each a sanctuary of comfort and style. Choose between five double rooms, three of which house a separate sofa bed, two family rooms with a double and twin single beds, a triple room with three single beds, and a cosy bunk room. Four en-suite bathrooms, a family shower room, a separate WC, and a utility room offer comfort and convenience. The outside space is equally impressive with an outdoor kitchen and BBQ, outdoor dining area, private hot tub, and full access to the property’s stunning gardens.
It''s a short walk into the thriving market town of Beccles (under 1 mile), where you’ll find atmospheric winding streets and small market squares, hosting an array of quirky, independent boutiques and eateries.
