“Masterful modernism - a rural idyll in Suffolk's open countryside”

Designed by the architect son of modernist titan Ernő Goldfinger, this sublime rural home intermeshes inspired mid-century details with its hearty historic bones. Converted from a series of agricultural buildings, Church Farm Lodge also benefits from a spacious two-bedroom annexe, the East Wing, which was built in 2002 and has recently been refurbished. Unfolding laterally across over 3,500 sq ft, the house is chock-full of bespoke joinery and maintains a close connection to its surrounding mature gardens through scores of tall glazing. It sits in leafy Hemley and has views across the surrounding Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at the River Deben, a brilliantly bucolic location that belies its proximity to Ipswich, where train services run to London in around an hour.
