Nestled within its own substantial plot on the edge of Stowmarket and overlooking the Suffolk countryside, this detached barn conversion is the home you have been searching for, with all of the mod cons you would expect in a modern home. The current owner has significantly improved the property by adding the southerly sitting room, upgraded the heating, replacing all the windows & external doors with high quality engineered frames, 30mm double glazing & monkey tail ironwork, and fitting a beautiful new kitchen and downstairs bathroom.
From the entrance you approach the property via a sweeping driveway, past the triple garage with Gym/Home office over and topped with solar panels, the imposing building sits at the rear of the plot overlooking its substantial garden.
On entering the property via the part vaulted hallway with full height glazing to the front and back, letting natural light flood in, you will see the spacious dining room on one side and the sitting room on the other. Surrounded by beams and period features this really is such a welcoming and versatile space.
The modern and fully fitted kitchen is a dream for those looking to chat with their guests gathered around the the log burner stove or relaxing in the adjacent vaulted sitting room. this room has bi-fold doors as well as pitch height glazing offering fantastic views across the garden and surrounding countryside.
