The property
Positioned in the popular village of Wissett near the market town of Halesworth and a short distance to the Suffolk Heritage Coast, Halcyon Barn is a stunning four bedroom barn conversion with flexible accommodation throughout, offering period features including beautifully exposed beams and vaulted ceilings.
An impressive, fully-vaulted ceiling provides the back-drop to the main, open-plan living space, with full-height glazed doors allowing natural light to flood in. Sitting at the heart of the property, with the bespoke kitchen to one end and ample space for dining and family room to the other, this stunning space is perfect for entertaining. Grey stone flooring extends into the adjoining drawing room, also with vaulted ceiling providing exceptional, light and spacious living space. A staircase beside the kitchen leads up to a mezzanine floor ideal as an informal snug or guest bedroom. There are four bedrooms, comprising; a principal bedroom with modern en suite shower room and double doors to the garden, a second bedroom also with en suite shower room, third bedroom with en suite cloakroom and a bedroom accessed from the kitchen with its own entrance from outside and en suite shower room. A family bathroom and utility room complete the accommodation.
Planning
Adjacent to the property is a useful outbuilding. The current owners have achieved full planning permission under references DC/23/2398/ful and DC/23/2398/lbc to Convert part of outbuilding to Holiday Cottage. Comprising an open-plan sitting room/kitchen area with double bedroom and en suite shower room, the building would allow for the creation of additional accommodation and potential income. Split into two, the other end of the building, complete with original millstone giving a nod to the property's history, provides storage for garden equipment. Copies of the planning consent and accompanying plans are available from the planning department of the East Suffolk District Council. Prospective purchasers are advised that they should make their own enquiries of the local planning authority.

The property is approached via a long, gated gravelled driveway which provides ample parking for several cars. The gardens immediately surrounding the property provide an orchard, an area of level lawn surrounded by newly-planted hedging and interspersed with sapling trees, as well as two areas of terrace; one of which sits away from the property creating ideal space in which to relax or dine al fresco, and the other accessed directly from the main bedroom providing a perfect spot for a morning coffee.
A fenced area of garden to the rear of the property allows for a contained, secure space for dogs and an additional paddock sits to the north of the house and provides ideal grazing or space for play.
