A striking, award-winning contemporary house in a spectacular setting overlooking the River Alde estuary. DescriptionOccupying a wonderful, elevated position within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and adjoining a Site of Special Scientific Interest, Marsh Hill is an outstanding riverside house, with spectacular panoramic views and over three-and-a-half acres of grounds.The brainchild of Meredith Bowles and the team at Mole Architects - the Cambridge based practice who specialise in designs that combine innovation and common sense, valuing beauty and sustainability, to create buildings full of joy - Marsh Hill is a multi-award winning property and recipient of the RIBA East Award 2017 and the East Suffolk Quality of Place Award 2016.Marsh Hill has featured in a number of respected publications, including House & Gardens, Country Living and the London Evening Standard, as well as esteemed architectural books. In '21st Century Houses', Dominic Bradbury describes how Marsh Hill makes the most of the natural beauty of the setting, while Sally Denning writes in 'Calm: Interiors to Nurture, Relax and Restore' that it is a remarkably tranquil house.Specifically designed in harmony with the natural environment, the wedge shaped house is linear in form, providing each room with optimal ocular connection to the river. The impressive zinc roof curves as it rises to the west, echoing the contours of a gull's wing. The zinc cladding continues to partially cover the river-facing elevation to the south, contrasting with the painted white bricks. To the front of the building, projecting brickwork provides an interesting visual detail, while the yolk yellow front door offers a splash of colour.In collaboration with Interior Couture, the London based interior design company headed by Elaine Williams, our clients have created a sophisticated yet remarkably comfortable family home, comprising wonderfully proportioned and versatile accommodation. At the heart of the building is the double height sitting room, or 'great hall'. Two large windows look south over the marshes and the river. Completing the magnificent room is a contemporary fireplace and a pamment floor cut from reclaimed 19th century bricks. Steps lead down to the capacious kitchen and dining area, with a wonderful custom-designed terrazzo floor made of local flint and stones. Flooding the room with natural light are windows to the south and east elevations; a picture window provides fantastic views of the natural landscape and recesses into the wall, bringing the outside in. At the centre of the bespoke kitchen is the hand-painted island, topped with a honed granite work surface. There is ample storage within both the island and wall cabinets, and integrated appliances including Gaggenau ovens and induction hob.Beyond the kitchen is the utility room and access to the spacious cellar, and the plant room.Occupying the west wing of the ground floor are bedroom accommodation and a family bathroom. The two guest bedrooms are individually designed with stained oak panelling, concealed storage and far reaching views.The family bathroom has marble topped bespoke cabinetry, Fired Earth encaustic floor tiles, a freestanding bath overlooking the river, and a separate shower. The fourth bedroom is currently used as a dedicated pottery studio with a workshop; this has been especially designed for easy conversion into a bedroom suite with adjoining bathroom.The principal bedroom suite on the first floor comprises a dressing room and adjoining bathroom. Facing the bed is a picture window framing a spectacular vista, while a French window leads to a balcony. The bedroom flows through to the en suite, which has a pair of marble topped basins, a marble topped bath and separate shower.Completing the first floor is the fifth bedroom, presently used as a study/home office.GROUNDSThe grounds of Marsh Hill have been designed by the internationally renowned and multi-award winning landscape designer, Todd Longstaffe-Gowan, whose clients also include Historic Royal Palaces, Estelle Manor and New College Oxford. Directly influenced by the natural landscape, the gardens, which extend to over three and a half acres, have been especially designed to encourage native species. A reed bed provides habitat for ground nesting birds, and meandering paths have been mown through the sizeable wildflower meadow which comprises the largest part of the garden.To the north of the principal building is a relaxed planting of flowering shrubs, while a kitchen garden with a number of raised beds and a geodesic greenhouse positioned to the west. Westmost within the building are useful machinery and log stores. A terrace to the south provides a perfect spot for al fresco dining and bird watching. Marsh Hill borders Hazlewood Marshes Nature Reserve, an exceptional expanse of marshland which is habitat to an array of wading birds including Avocets, black-tailed godwit, dunlin, and European spoonbill.LocationClosely associated with the composer Benjamin Britten and famed for its pebble beach and iconic 'Scallop' sculpture by Maggi Hambling, Aldeburgh is a thriving seaside resort with an exceptional array of amenities.There are superb restaurants, including the celebrated Fish & Chip Shop and The Suffolk.
