Full Description
HAMILTON SMITH NEEDHAM MARKET are pleased to offer for sale this FOUR BEDROOM substantial and sympathetic conversion of a heavily timbered detached Suffolk barn standing in a convenient location just a few miles to the north of Needham Market and east of Stowmarket. The original conversion was undertaken with great care to retain enormous period character whilst at the same time creating a practical modern living space.
SITUATION:
Stowmarket is a small market town situated in Suffolk, on the busy A14 trunk road between Bury St Edmunds to the west and Ipswich to the southeast. The town is on the main railway line between London and Norwich, and lies on the River Gipping, which is joined by its tributary, the River Rat, to the south of the town. The town takes its name from the Old English word stow meaning ‘principal place’, and was granted a market charter in 1347 by Edward III.
PROPERTY INFORMATION:
Hill Farm Barn is a substantial and sympathetic conversion of a heavily timbered detached Suffolk barn standing in a convenient location just a few miles to the north of Needham Market and east of Stowmarket. The original conversion was undertaken with great care to retain enormous period character whilst at the same time creating a practical modern living space. The property is entered via a grand solid oak door into a lovely vaulted reception hall with Suffolk latch doors off and a central staircase rising to a split landing at the first floor level. The sitting room is a lovely space, almost square, with heavily exposed timbers and an attractive plinth of soft red bricks. Six windows provide a triple aspect which makes the room unusually light for such a heavily timbered area and an inglenook fireplace and cast iron stove complete the rustic look. The original dining room now serves as a music room and garden room with two pairs of large French windows which open onto the Mediterranean style courtyard to the rear of the barn. The kitchen/diner features farmhouse style units with a butler sink and integral cooking appliances and space for a large table makes this an ideal room for entertaining. The utility room off is very usable with space for boots and coats in addition to the laundry area and there is a ground floor cloakroom/w.c. At first floor level many of the windows are full floor to ceiling height providing a wealth of natural light and the bedrooms have been nicely proportioned in order for all to accommodate a double bed. The master bedroom feels very spacious with its large vaulted ceiling and the en-suite features an antique style suite in white with a w.c. basin and roll top bath. The three further bedrooms all retain a host of exposed timbers and the principal bathroom again features an antique style suite and roll top bath. Hill Farm Barn is approached over a gravel drive through a 5-bar gate offering parking for numerous vehicles leading to a detached smaller barn outbuilding with a double garage to the drive with power and light connected and a lovely garden summer house to the rear suitable for a variety of uses with French windows opening to the garden. To the rear of the outbuilding is a further storage area. The gardens at Hill Farm Barn are carefully landscaped and include a wide range of evergreen and flowering beds and borders, ornamental trees, fruit trees and climbing plants. The enclosed courtyard immediately to the rear of the barn is a fantastic sun trap and the pergola area to the foot of the garden offers a shady retreat.
