Chillesford Lodge Estate
Chillesford Lodge Estate is an architecturally
distinctive group of Grade II 19th Century
buildings converted to deliver stylish and
contemporary open plan living. The individual
designs combine modern materials whilst
maintaining a wealth of characterful features
including exposed beams, vaulted ceilings
and many original windows which have been
retained where possible with the addition of
heritage double glazing.
The properties lie at the end of a private
mile long tree lined driveway leading to an
idyllic agricultural estate. Set in the heart
of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
on Suffolk’s Heritage Coast, the properties
benefit from a liberal use of glazing which
provides panoramic views over the peaceful
surrounding countryside. In the ground
floor living rooms this enables a seamless
transition between inside and outside space.
The sound proofing and insulation within each
of the properties is set to ‘hospital consulting
room’ standard, with floor thickness almost
double that of a normal build. The floorboards
are engineered oak laid on resistance
battens which, along with clever use of built
in wardrobes minimises noise disturbance
within the properties as well as protecting the
tranquillity of the wider environment.
Each home has its own private space as
well as access to a large communal garden
including a walled kitchen garden which,
once restored, will provide the freshest
seasonal produce for residents to buy.
Planned amenities include access to indoor
and outdoor swimming pools, a tennis court
and a luxurious mobile picnic hut positioned
seasonally to allow residents private enjoyment
of the wider estate and stunning surroundings.
The peace and tranquillity of Chillesford
Lodge Estate cannot be underestimated.
It is a privileged place of rare sanctuary
where residents can retreat yet remain close
to world class culture and entertainment.
The Property
Puffingbilly is named after the first petrol/
paraffin tractor bought by the estate in 1944
and parked under cover in this building. It is
still safely stored on the farm and was last
used to level a lawn in 2006.
Puffingbilly is entered from the car port
into a large and beautifully tiled utility room
fitted with separate cloakroom. This leads to
a spacious and light filled open plan fully
fitted kitchen/ dining room. Large glazed
bi-fold doors lead to a private south facing
garden enclosed with woven willow fence.
The full height glazing continues into the
snug/bedroom 3, which sits off the kitchen/
dining room.
First floor accommodation comprises of a
spacious living room with vaulted ceiling with
an allowance for a wood burning stove. South
facing glazed French windows and a Juliet
balcony provide countryside views. A corridor
continues to a bedroom with fitted wardrobes,
opposite which is a family shower room. The
master bedroom completes the first floor and
is fitted with build in wardrobes, a spacious
en-suite bathroom and a small timber balcony
with space for a table and chairs.
