A detached property in Snape with picturesque grounds is up for sale at a guide price of £1.35 million.

Priory Wood is set in about three acres, subject to measured survey, which includes two studios, a heated swimming pool and a summer house.

Property agent Peter Ogilvie, head of residential sales at Savills in Suffolk, said: "Dating from the first half of the 20th century and tucked away in a secluded setting on the edge of the village, Priory Wood is a rare home that offers complete privacy within easy reach of local amenities."

The property, which has been sympathetically extended over the years, has two reception rooms, both with a fireplace and one with doors opening to an outdoor terrace.
