Blending traditional aesthetics—such as peg-tiled roofing and rendered elevations—with contemporary cedar cladding, the home is a masterclass in modern rural living.
The Lifestyle Located in the peaceful village of Little Yeldham, the property serves as a private sanctuary.
While it offers a "getaway" feel, convenience is close at hand: the local post office and store are just a mile away, while the vibrant market town of Sudbury (7 miles) provides a curated selection of boutique shops, restaurants, Waitrose, Sainsburys and Tesco supermarkets.

An oak staircase leads to a galleried landing, while a high-level dormer window floods the space with natural light, creating a bright and airy transition to the principal living areas.
The Social Hub: Kitchen / Dining / Living Room The heart of the home is the magnificent open-plan kitchen and living space.
Designed for both daily life and grand-scale entertaining, it features: • Premium Kitchen: Modern cabinetry with integrated Neff appliances and a substantial breakfast bar.

The Formal & Versatile Spaces A refined sitting room sits at the rear, boasting full-width bi-fold doors that lead onto the sun terrace.
For those working from home, a dedicated study provides a quiet retreat.
Additionally, a large ground-floor room offers total versatility; currently used as a fifth double bedroom, it is served by an adjacent shower room, making it ideal for guests or multi-generational living.

Grounds & Outbuildings Set back behind a curved mellow-brick wall, the property sits on a plot of just under half an acre.
