Stunning Grade II* listed Georgian country house designed by the celebrated architect Decimus Burton set on a private 5000 acre estate in Suffolk.
As you wind up the serpentine drive, over the ornamental bridge and past the lake and first see the honey coloured stone façade of Sibton Park is revealed, you know you are in for a special experience. The manor, built in 1827 by Robert Sayer, once Sheriff of Suffolk, with designs by the celebrated architect Decimus Burton, has giant Ionic pillars creating a dramatic portico entrance. Once inside this wonderful house unfolds before you. With large, elegant Georgian proportions throughout, the drawing room with its listed Chinese wallpaper, the bright morning room and formal dining room all create spaces that welcome and embrace guests. Open fires, fine antique furniture and chandeliers sit alongside the subtle integration of the most up to date technology. The dining room is a grand affair perfect for celebrations and bringing friends and family together. For more informal dining, there is the large kitchen with wood-burner, Aga and deer-antler chandeliers or head downstairs to dine under candlelight in the vaulted corridor from where you will also find the gym, private cinema and games room. For outside dining under expansive skies, there’s the private courtyard or the large terrace overlooking parkland, grazing livestock and the lake beyond. Upstairs, the thirteen bedrooms with have achingly comfortable Hypnos beds, eclectic furnishings and far-reaching views through large sash windows. Twelve en suite marble-floored bathrooms have underfloor heating, luxurious fittings and most have roll-top baths as well as powerful showers with endless piping-hot water. Outside, enjoy BBQs in the private courtyard, explore the estate on Pashley bicycles or hold your own tournament on the estate’s tennis court.
