Nacton property with three acres of land and a pool for sale

Orwell Park Gardens is in a secluded setting, with around three acres of landscaped gardens and parkland. 

The property is set within walled gardens that were once part of Orwell Park House, which is now a prep school. 

Selling agent Jackson-Stops said: “The house itself has been sympathetically and thoroughly refurbished and extended by the present owners to the plans of the well-reputed architect Roger Balmer, to create an elegant New England style home. 

“The deep sash windows help to create wonderfully light accommodation and afford views and vistas across the gardens.”

The accommodation, which extends to about 3,800 sq ft, flows from a split-level vaulted central dining hall. 

The dining space has a glazed gable and bi-fold doors opening to a south-facing terrace, which overlooks an avenue of cherry trees. 

To one side of the dining hall, there’s a drawing room and sitting room.

Double doors from the other side of the dining hall open to the bespoke kitchen, which has an island and French doors opening to the terrace.
