Substantial barn conversion with a self-contained extension, outbuildings and over four acres

Ideally situated in a particularly pretty pocket of countryside, betwixt the popular village of Dennington and the historic market town, Framlingham, Toms Barn is a substantial and well-conceived barn conversion, within about four acres of beautiful grounds, accessed via a shingle drive with ample parking.

The historic barn retains many superb features including exposed timbers and stud work; a particular feature - harking from the time when the barn was used to breed Suffolk Punch horses - are stamped dates on the beams in the annexe first floor bedroom, recording the foals born at the property.

The building is presently divided into two main sections (the original barn and a modern extension) providing many options to the next owner - making it ideal for multigenerational living, such as dependent elderly relatives, or income generation as a holiday let / Airbnb, or can be used as one substantial family home.

The décor of the original barn is of a traditional style. There are two front doors: one accesses the sitting room, via a sizeable porch; the other door opens into the utility room, which leads through to a country style double-aspect kitchen / breakfast room featuring a dark blue oil fired AGA.

The capacious and light-filled sitting room has a stunning vaulted ceiling with original timber beams, a handsome brick chimneypiece and wonderful views overlooking the tranquil front pond, surrounded by mature horse chestnut trees. Double doors lead to a glorious Victorian greenhouse.

There are three double bedrooms, on the ground floor, two with fitted wardrobes, a family bathroom and a separate cloakroom.

There is also a self-contained annexe, accessed via an external Victorian, cast iron spiral staircase, comprising a bedroom suite, sitting area and an adjoining shower room. Velux windows provide ample natural light, and there is a further attic space beyond.

The adjoining extension, via a covered glass walkway was built in 2019, is more contemporary, consisting of a generous double-aspect principal bedroom with a large en suite wet room; bi-folding doors with integrated blinds lead out to a private terrace with a modern glass balustrade.

Completing the ground floor are the shaker style kitchen with a breakfast bar and plumbing for a washing machine; a shower room; and spacious sitting room / studio, which the new owners can finish to suit their needs.

There is a further first-floor bedroom with built-in wardrobes and additional cupboards providing ample storage. A gable end and Velux windows flood the room with natural light and provide beautiful views towards Framlingham. The generous landing has space for tables and chairs or a comfortable sofa.

Grounds
Toms Barn has delightful and spectacular grounds of just over four acres. Principally lawned with well-established flower beds surrounding the property, and two ponds.

This is surrounded by mature horse chestnut trees and a weeping willow, with a partial platform across the pond.

Gardens & Outbuildings
Included in the garden is a greenhouse with an adjacent vegetable garden and an established orchard, with a meadow / paddock behind the property.
