Email: [email protected] Location Stonehouse Plantation, which immediately adjoins Thorpeness Golf Club, is located between the villages of Aldringham and the highly desirable coastal village of Thorpeness. The old fishing hamlet of Thorpe was inherited by the Ogilvie family in the early 1900s, who decided to build a model seaside village inspired by the writings of Peter Pan author and family friend, J M Barrie. So it was that the village of Thorpeness emerged and the resort has become a very desirable village indeed. At the centre of the village there is an impressive lake known as The Meare where boats can be hired and wildlife observed. There is also a popular Public House and restaurant at the heart of the village, The Dolphin and the famous ‘House in the Clouds’. Thorpeness is an area of outstanding Natural Beauty and there is also a thriving golf club and sailing club. Other popular resorts of Aldeburgh, Snape, Walberswick and Southwold are all within easy reach and the nearest railway station is at Saxmundham, about five miles to the north-west with connecting trains to Ipswich and some direct trains through to London's Liverpool Street Station. The County Town of Ipswich lies about twenty miles to the south-west. Description Stonehouse Plantation enjoys a delightful and secluded position adjacent to Thorpeness Golf Club and provides a rare opportunity to purchase a small block of mature woodland only a short distance from the Heritage Coast. The property extends to approximately 4.59 acres (1.85 hectares) and is shown for identification purposes only outlined red on the enclosed plan. The woodland is a haven for a wide variety of flora and fauna and in spring and early summer provides a dense covering of daffodils and bluebells respectively. Within the wild grass areas, there is also a mass of rhododendrons and in addition, there are some very impressive mature beech, scotch pine and oak trees. Within Stonehouse Plantation, there are a couple of small wooden storage sheds and close to these is a more substantial chalet style ‘woodland hut’ which is a great asset to the property. Measuring approximately 24’5 x 12’ (7.5m x 3.65m) it is predominantly timber frame under a tin roof with a wooden frame and windows on most elevations. It has doors on either side and boasts a wood burner. Adjoining the hut is a mobile portaloo which is included within the sale.
