Property description

Description
The house forms the southwest corner of Crespigny House, a mansion built for Sir Claud de Crespigny in 1775. 1 Crespigny House is superbly orientated with views to the south of the sea and across to the river Alde. The house is constructed from brick with rendered elevations enhanced by sash and French windows. Internally the property has numerous features that include an attractive drawing room with a bow end and fireplace, large windows, high ceilings and is beautifully presented throughout. There is an elegant staircase leading onto a large landing. There is also a lift to the first floor. The entrance hall and kitchen has a slate floor which benefits from under floor heating.

The current owners have enhanced the property enormously with the construction of a self contained detached cottage / annexe which has been designed and finished with great flair.
