PROPERTY SUMMARY

HOME TO HORSEPOWER; relaxed living at this stunning barn conversion with income-generating annexe reconversion potential and large gardens, nestled on the edge of desirable village close to historic Bury St. Edmunds.

The meticulous high-quality restoration by a well-regarded barn conversion specialist, Dow Brandeston in 2007, makes for a perfect fusion of Grade II-Listed history and modern design nuances. Today, beautifully conceived and updated interiors glisten following a comprehensive programme of refurbishments in recent years, which have transformed this barn into a much loved family home.

A ground floor bedroom wing was once a self-contained income generating annexe with private access that could easily reconvert to multi-generational living or AirBnB / rental purposes (refer to floorplan). A carved stone entablature pays homage to Sir T Gage ‘Built 1849’, former owner of neighbouring Hengrave Hall Estate and for whom the range of barns would have once served. Of particular note is the dramatic double-height reception dining hall with engineered volumes of timber forming a galleried staircase and landing, complemented by a stunning array of exposed beamwork; large media den; spectacular open-plan kitchen/dining space; sleek hotel-like principal bedroom suite designed by Nicholas Anthony with a freestanding bath and luxurious glass walk-in shower enclosure. The exceptional lofty ceilings throughout (6 metres (19.5 feet) max), combined with the inter-connecting flow of spaces, are ideal for entertaining. Lighting plays an important role with a mix of ambient, wall and spotlights. Multi-zone underfloor heating and piped music complete the picture.

LOCATION:

The property lies on the edge of a semi-rural and much favoured village – only four miles north west of the fine Suffolk cathedral town of Bury St. Edmunds. The University City of Cambridge is easily reached via the A14 east-west major road link, which is accessed via neighbouring Risby village to facilitate commuting ease, and with the M11 providing a fast route to London. Reputable private and state schools, an eclectic range of high street and independent shops, and some the country’s finest restaurants – including the only Michelin star in Suffolk – and leisure facilities can be found within a short drive as are the majestic rambling Lackford Lakes and Cavenham Heath.
