This unique home has its own river access at Sutton and is only a short distance, as the crow flies, from the famous burial mounds which are now an attraction run by the National Trust.
It is in a very private location and is ideally placed for sailing or rowing, or even for a refreshing swim, as it has its own private mooring
There are ever-changing views down river and across the water to Woodbridge town.
The Deben is one of the prettiest of East Anglian rivers and homes with views are always highly prized.
This is an idyllic setting, just 2.5 miles from Woodbridge by road, and tucked away at the end of a mile-long private woodland drive.
The fully refurbished lodge is now a four bedroom home with three luxury three bath/shower rooms and is full of contemporary design features, and set in about ten acres in all.
