About this property

  • The Barns is situated in the heart of the village, tucked away down a private drive shared with only two other houses.

    The barn itself has been exceptionally well converted and is beautifully presented throughout. Internally the building has enormous character with an array of exposed beams, studwork and original brick floors.

    The accommodation flows remarkably well and unusually the barn enjoys large windows, providing light and bright rooms throughout, taking full advantage of the spectacular views.

    The heart of the house is centred around the kitchen, dining room and snug, the exposed studwork provides an informal divide yet allows for the rooms to be well connected and light to flow between them. There is an impressive double height sitting room with a contemporary wood burning stove, and a particularly charming garden room which enjoys triple aspect large windows overlooking the gardens and far reaching views across the fields.

    Stairs lead to the bedroom accommodation, which is arranged over the first and second floor. They are all well proportioned and light-filled rooms, many with impressive original timberwork. The first floor serves three bedrooms, one of which benefitting from a balcony with fine views, and a family bathroom. The second floor comprises two further good-sized bedrooms, one with an en suite and the other with a Juliet balcony with stunning views over the garden and fields beyond.

    Outside
    To the rear of the house is a large detached thatched barn which currently provides a large studio / playroom and benefits from architect plans to create a 2/3 bedroom cottage STPP, ideal as an annexe or holiday let.

    The gardens are mainly laid to lawn with a kitchen garden to one side and to the north lies a detached home office. The garden boundary is enclosed by estate fencing and there are fine views beyond over rolling Suffolk countryside. The property is approached over a paved driveway with private parking for several vehicles.

I thought The Barns provided a wonderful mix of period character with a contemporary finish, beautifully presented, light & bright and with fabulous views over the countryside beyond. It is rare to find such a combination all set on the edge of the village - In all a very rare opportunity.
