Set in an idyllic spot at on a single-track lane, this elegant Suffolk Longhouse has been sympathetically modernised to the highest standards by the current owners.

Standing in a plot of around three-quarters of an acre surrounded by farmland, this is the perfect home for those looking to escape modern life.

The property is approached via electric gates with a drive providing ample parking. You enter a porch which leads to the reception hall which immediately impresses with its quarry tiled floors and exposed timbers. There is a ground floor W.C. with a utility area adjoining. The North wing houses a sleek and contemporary kitchen with large island, built-in appliances and a larder cupboard in one corner. The room is light and inviting with a dual aspect with bi-fold doors opening on to the rear garden. The main reception area has been partially opened through to make an area which is more modern in feel while retaining its period feel. To one side of the central stack which has back-to-back inglenooks is the sitting room, the other side has the dining room/family room. With under floor heating throughout the ground floor, these are cosy spaces in the winter months enjoying a wealth of character.

Moving to the first floor there is a spacious landing which could easily be used as a study or reading area. The South wing has a large triple aspect bedroom to the far end with a storage cupboard to the side of the chimney. There is a further double bedroom with a view overlooking the fields which has attractive exposed timbers. The North end has a third bedroom with a vaulted ceiling accessed through a vestibule which also has a door leading to the shower room.

The second floor has a wonderful layout for those with a teenager. There is a thirty-foot bedroom separated into a bed and living area either side of the chimney stack. Served by an attractively fitted bathroom at the North end of the property there is both a shower cubicle and roll top bath. A Velux window gives lovely countryside views.

Outside a path leads to the annex. This is a great addition for those looking for accommodation for a parent or a side income stream as it has been used as a successfully holiday let. A sizeable reception room with kitchen leads into a bedroom with a shower room set to the side. There is a garage accessible from the outside along with a bike store. Closer to the lane is a detached building housing two workshop areas, a garage and a store.
