Two double bedrooms are located on the ground floor alongside a contemporary shower room, with an internal hallway/boot room leading to a well-planned utility/laundry room and a separate plant room housing the gas fired boiler.

The first floor is equally impressive. A spacious landing with oak flooring, built-in desk and shelving opens directly onto an exceptional balcony enjoying panoramic views across open countryside. Three bedrooms are arranged on this floor including the superb principal suite with vaulted ceiling, sliding doors to the balcony, a luxurious en-suite with twin basins and walk-in shower with separate dressing area.

Outside

The property is approached via a generous driveway providing ample parking complemented by planted borders, a lawned area and a garage with electric door and a courtesy door to the garden. To the rear, the beautifully landscaped garden offers a tranquil setting ideal for relaxation, al fresco dining and entertaining. It is mainly laid to lawn, enhanced by a large patio area, curated borders with specimen planting and a thoughtfully designed sunken garden featuring architectural screening.

A gazebo sits to one side, while the garden pod provides additional versatile space. Complete with water and power, it is currently used as a salon but would serve equally well as a home office, studio, gym or similar. Please note: The fixtures and fittings including sanitary ware will be removed from the garden pod.

The area is ideally placed for exploring nearby historic villages, including the celebrated village of Lavenham to the northeast and the charming long village street of Long Melford, both renowned for their independent shops, restaurants and heritage attractions. The cathedral town of Bury St Edmunds lies approximately 13 miles to the north, offering a wider range of amenities and convenient access to the A14, connecting to the east coast ports, Cambridge and London via the M11.
