Part of a former Victorian school, now converted into a family home, has come up for sale in the Suffolk market town of Saxmundham.
Situated off Fairfield Road, The Hall was once part of the former primary school and dates back to the Victorian era.
It was converted by local developer Fielden Ltd between 2019 and 2020 and is now for sale offering a wonderful blend of old and new features - including the original sash windows, which have been retained and refurbished.
The open-plan sitting and dining room is a real highlight, as it makes the most of the space available and features double heighted ceilings in parts and a set of French doors, which lead out and into the garden.

The kitchen doubles up as a breakfast room and is modern and well-fitted with lots of natural light thanks to its glazed French doors and sash windows. It features modern units complete with quartz work surfaces and a stainless steel sink, plus a full suite of Neff appliances and access to a separate utility room.
Elsewhere on the ground floor there is a large entrance hall, snug and shower room.
Upstairs, the master bedroom features the building's original arched sash windows which are fitted with shutters and overlook the front garden and Fairfield Road. An additional Velux window light provides yet more light, and there is ample storage space thanks to two dressing rooms plus an en suite shower room.

The Hall enjoys a sought-after location and is set back from the road, approached by a wrought-iron gate and accessed by an Indian stone pathway.
A large stone patio sits to the front and can be accessed by the sitting and dining room, with steps leading down to an enclosed lawn and border.
