Entering the property via the lobby you step through a twin set of doors into the impressive, galleried reception hall. With an oak staircase running up one wall and a ceiling panelled in the classical style, it draws your eye up towards the modern, elegant chandelier.

To the left is a large kitchen/diner with light fronted shaker style kitchen units and plenty of space for a dining table. The main sitting room is a dream for fans of home entertainment with integrated surround sound speakers in the ceiling along with a projector (available by negotiation) and a retractable screen. Mood lighting via the RAKO lighting system finishes the effect. A cast iron log burner set into a chimney breast makes this a warm and cosy room for the winter months with doors leading out into the heated conservatory which comes fitted with sunshades.

The formal dining room, which also has ceiling speakers, leads to a study and bar, complete with a gated countertop. The billiard room houses a full-size table (available by negotiation) and enjoys wainscoted walls adding to the sense of occasion.

The family room is a large extra reception area that the current owners use as an office with a storeroom. There is also a utility room completing the accommodation.

The first floor has an air-conditioned master bedroom with an en-suite shower room and dressing room. The second bedroom is larger than most main bedrooms we see, and this enjoys views over the garden and fields to the rear. There are three further well-matched bedrooms along with the family bathroom which benefits from a spa bath.

Outside, there is a return driveway offering plenty of parking and leading to the double garage which can be accessed from inside the house. The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn with a handy storage shed with lighting and power points.

The property works perfectly for those looking for a large home office set up, or perhaps for families who wish to make an annex. Offered with no onward chain, viewing is strongly advised to take in the scope of the accommodation on offer.

Barnby and North Cove are set between the beautiful Georgian Market town of Beccles, and the seaside town of Lowestoft. Beccles offers a pretty town centre and access to the Norfolk broads with over two hundred miles of picturesque waterways which you can access via one of the boat hire businesses found locally. Along with a number of independent shops there are also a choice of four supermarkets and a train station terminating at London Liverpool Street via Ipswich.

Norwich is around a forty-minute drive and offers cinemas, theatres, and bars. Suffolk’s Heritage coast is close by, offering plenty of lovely destinations for day trips, including the Charming Victorian fishing town of Southwold, stunning heathland walks at Dunwich and Walberswick, a great arts and sailing scene at Aldeburgh, and fun can be had at the boating lake in Thorpeness exploring the islands.

Within walking distance is the Swan Inn Public house offering both food and drinks. There is also a village primary school. By car there is easy access to both the A12 and A11 for routes out of the county.
