In the Mid-Suffolk village of Buxhall is this handsome detached family home, built in 1790 and originally two mill workers’ cottages. It benefits from three reception rooms, a cloakroom, stunning kitchen painted in Farrow and Ball paint, two smart and contemporary bathrooms and five bedrooms, all decorated to a very high standard. It stands on a very generous plot with parking to the front, a garage and a garden which amounts to one third of an acre and a further three quarters of an acre paddock with stable. The property is just over three miles west of Stowmarket, which  has excellent transport links with regular fast trains running to Ipswich and thence to London Liverpool Street from Stowmarket, and the A14 is also accessible from Stowmarket. Buxhall itself has a pub/restaurant, a recreation ground with children’s play area, a thriving village hall, the Grade I listed parish church of St Mary’s dating back to the fourteenth century and a windmill dating back to 1861. The owners bought their house twenty years ago and have significantly improved it, redecorating throughout, installing two new wood burners, replacing the windows and heating system and a new roof.

The front porch leads into a small hallway with the main staircase rising to the first floor. There are three reception rooms on this floor, all with wonderful period features such as brick fireplaces and exposed beams. The cosy triple aspect sitting room is absolutely charming, with an exposed brick chimney breast, shelving to the left of the fireplace which is made of brick with oak bressumer beam, tiled hearth and a wood burner. This is the perfect place to curl up with a good book and a glass of wine on a cold winter’s evening. Open truss work leads to the welcoming snug next door with an original fireplace and glazed door to the garden. The dining room, with its wooden floorboards, Suffolk latch doors, inglenook brick fireplace with oak bressumer beam, tiled hearth and wood burner, plus a cupboard under the stairs with the original brick flooring. This makes the ideal space for hosting dinner parties, entertaining and Christmas celebrations. The third reception room has a feature brick fireplace and plenty of potential. It could continue with its present use as a reception room, be employed as an accessible downstairs bedroom, or, if desired, and with the correct planning permission in place, converted into an annexe along with the shower room next door and the integrated garage. The second staircase rises from the snug to the landing upstairs. There is a smart, contemporary cloakroom, perfect for guests. The stunning bespoke kitchen is from The Pine Company in Stowlangtoft. The freestanding cabinets are painted in Farrow and Ball’s Pale Blue, it has solid wooden worktops, a ceramic Belfast sink, a larder cupboard, exposed ceiling beams, tongue and groove panelling on the walls, an electric range cooker and space for a dishwasher and freestanding fridge/freezer. There is a stable door out to the garden. The utility room next door has plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer.
