About
An impressive barn conversion with adjoining self-contained annexe occupying a tucked away rural setting. Description Walnut Barn combines light, space and versatility throughout.
A welcoming, split‐level reception hall introduces the accommodation, leading into a magnificent triple‐aspect sitting room that spans much of the property’s width.
French doors open onto the rear terrace, while a feature wood‐burning stove brings warmth and character to the heart of the home.
The adjoining kitchen/breakfast room is perfectly positioned to overlook the gardens, fitted with a range of wooden cabinetry and integrated appliances, and offering direct access to the terrace for easy indoor and outdoor living.
The ground floor also provides excellent flexibility, including a large study ideal for home working and a generous additional reception room, originally designed as a music room by an acoustic consultant, which lends itself equally well to use as a ground‐floor bedroom if required.
A well‐appointed wet room completes the arrangement.
A particularly charming feature of Walnut Barn is its unique first‐floor layout, with each of the three upper bedrooms accessed via its own independent staircase, creating an unusual and appealing level of privacy.
The principal bedroom suite enjoys a landing/snug area and cloakroom, while the remaining two double bedrooms each benefit from far‐reaching countryside views, skylights and extensive built‐in storage.
Adjoining the main house is a self‐contained one‐bedroom annexe, ideally suited to multi‐generational living or as an income‐producing opportunity.
Thoughtfully designed, it includes its own kitchen, sitting room with terrace access, double bedroom, shower room and storage, offering complete autonomy while remaining conveniently connected.
Outside The gardens and grounds are an undoubted highlight, beautifully arranged to complement the rural surroundings.
The formal gardens lie predominantly to the rear, laid to lawn and interspersed with mature trees that provide structure and seasonal interest.
A wide terrace abuts the rear elevation and leads to a substantial, detached summer house with plumbing, an excellent space for leisure, hobbies or garden entertaining, alongside an adjoining terrace.
Additional outbuildings include practical metal storage units and a greenhouse, offering excellent scope for a range of uses subject to the necessary consents being obtained.
Location Walnut Barn is situated along a quiet lane in an elevated position with far reaching views.
It is convenient for access to Needham Market, Stowmarket and Ipswich with their varied selection of shopping, educational and recreational facilities.
The commuter can take advantage of the direct train service link to London’s Liverpool Street Station from either Stowmarket or Ipswich.
There is also easy access onto the A14 which connects the east coast port of Felixstowe to Bury St Edmunds, Newmarket, Cambridge and the Midlands.
