Retaining the beauty of functionalist architect Cedric Green's original design, this three-bedroom house sits in the heart of Charsfield, a picturesque village surrounded by undulating Suffolk countryside. It was built in 1985 yet is distinctly modern, with high levels of insulation, solar gain through expanses of south-facing double glazing and the use of natural materials. The fluid interior plan overlooks a bucolic rear garden, with off-street parking in the front and a separate timber-clad storage shed/utility room/workshop. The house is six miles north of Woodbridge and 15 miles away from the beautiful Suffolk coastline.
