Queen Street, Stradbroke, Eye, IP21 5HG

A unique Grade II Listed home with an abundance of character, versatile accommodation and offering an extensive collection of outbuildings, including a substantial barn, garage and workshop.

Property - Steeped in history and rich in character, this remarkable residence enjoys a fascinating past, having formerly served as both a village public house and, more recently, an antique shop.

Thoughtfully and sympathetically converted, the property now offers substantial and highly versatile accommodation, seamlessly blending period charm with modern family living, whilst preserving an abundance of original features and intriguing reminders of its former life.

Extending over two floors, the accommodation is further enhanced by an exceptional range of outbuildings approaching 990 sq ft, together with additional loft space, creating a home of rare flexibility.

The property's heritage is beautifully woven throughout, with exposed timbers, generous proportions and retained architectural details lending a wonderful sense of authenticity.

At the heart of the home lies an impressive open-plan kitchen and dining room; a sociable and characterful space where a well-appointed contemporary kitchen sits effortlessly beneath high ceilings and exposed beams, creating an atmosphere ideally suited to both everyday living and entertaining.

A separate snug offers a more intimate retreat, whilst the spacious principal sitting room flows through to the garden room, a particularly distinctive reception area created from the property's former cellar.

Enjoying an attractive connection with the gardens beyond, this adaptable space lends itself equally well to entertaining, relaxation or family life.

The ground floor also benefits from a dedicated home office, a practical utility room and two cloakrooms, where the original gentlemen's and ladies' doors remain in place as a charming nod to the building's public house origins.

The first floor provides five well-proportioned bedrooms, offering exceptional flexibility for family living, guests or home working.

The principal bedroom is complemented by an adjoining dressing room, whilst the remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.

A separate boiler room and an additional versatile room, currently arranged as a dressing area, provide further adaptability and could readily serve as a study, hobby room or additional workspace.

Outside, the property continues to impress.

The enclosed rear gardens offer a private and established setting, ideal for entertaining, relaxation and family enjoyment, whilst a substantial covered parking area provides space for multiple vehicles alongside additional off-road parking.

Beyond the formal gardens lies an area of grassland, offering further potential and flexibility depending on individual requirements.

Perhaps the property's most exceptional feature is the extensive collection of outbuildings, including a substantial barn, garage and workshop, providing an extraordinary amount of ancillary space.

Subject to any necessary consents, these buildings offer exciting possibilities for a variety of uses, including home working, business purposes, storage, leisure pursuits or even ancillary accommodation.

Combining considerable history, extensive accommodation and an outstanding range of outbuildings, this is a truly distinctive village home offering far more than the conventional residential property, and presenting a rare opportunity for those seeking space, character and exceptional versatility.
