THE BARN
Accessed from either the front or rear drives, the two-storey detached block built and timber clad two storey barn was granted consent by West Suffolk Council (DC/24/0860/HH) on 16th September 2024 (with 3 years to start works) to be converted to make a comfortable and spacious 2-3 bedroom annexe, ideal for a dependent relative, being a convenient distance from the main house and already benefiting from its own private drainage system.
Currently it is used for garaging and as a workshop on the ground floor and has been a store area and home office studio to the first floor, which is accessed by the internal staircase.
OUTSIDE
The grounds of this wonderful home are a most appealing feature being fence enclosed, superbly maintained, and thoughtfully set out and arranged, with maturing trees that enhance the interest of the parkland pasture and outlook from the house.
The property, which is set well back from the road, is approached over a long, gated gravelled driveway which leads past the pond on the left, to the front of the house and splits providing access to a block paved parking area abutting the side of the house or bearing right to the block paved yard, off which the outbuildings and garages open, or continuing around to the two storey barn, on the gravelled drive. The drive conveniently continues past the barn, back to the road through a 5-bar ‘rear’ gate across the neighbouring barns shared access.
To the rear of the house the private formal garden is laid to lawn with well-tended flower beds and a stone paved terrace ideal for alfresco dining, a pergola leading down to a garden/summer house and is part high brick and flint wall enclosed, with a Ha Ha ditch and fence division to the pasture. There is also a ‘Gardeners Rest’ and wc outbuilding, with door to the front garden. The pond at the front of the property adds further to the charm of this excellent country home. The house sits well in its land, with the trees and pond to the front, the main pasture area with trees planted to the rear (including an area formerly used as a vineyard that sides the road at the end) and the formal gardens, yard and outbuildings around the house which in all extend to around 10.22 acres with farmland arable farm fields to the rear. There are no public footpaths or rights of way across the land.
In addition to the main barn, the property has an excellent range of garages and outbuildings including two ‘6 car’ connected garage/storage barns, former stables, now utilised as garden and grounds store rooms, a large corner box stable/log store and an attached single storey barn/workshop which could also work for an ‘American box’ stable building, if required.
