Positioned in a tranquil part of Suffolk on the edge of Creeting St Peter & Stowmarket sits this enviable black clad residence that is a statement home with a wealth of salient features. The current owners have spared no expense, with a keen eye for detail when improving their already beautiful home. One of many impressive features would include the bespoke fitted blinds that form the end gable of the drawing room and the atrium windows in the vestibule. Controlled via a Mobile App these electric blinds can be programmed to work at sunset and sunrise. They have been sympathetically fitted between exposed timbers to capture the character of the building but modernise its functionality. Further modernised features include; Underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, solar panels, an electric vehicle charging point, double remote control electric gates to the driveway, hot tub (by way of separate negotiation), water softener and a filtration pump that maintains the ponds cleanliness and water height to prevent overflowing.

Entrance to the property is gained via a walk way between the garages to a generous open patio courtyard that overlooks the pond. The main entrance is a set of double anthracite doors into a vaulted vestibule with a "bridge" like landing above, the open plan kitchen/entertaining area on the left and a the office and snug to the right. This impressive entry reveals a wealth of open plan space with an enviable fitted kitchen that is separated from the dining area by a considerable breakfast bar finished with a marble surface. The engineered timber flooring in the main entrance and dining area transitions to a solid stone in the kitchen which continues through to the laundry room and ground floor cloakroom.

To summarise the desirable kitchen briefly comprises; Marble work surfaces with matching returns, picture frame windows, exposed timber feature walls, spot lighting, shaker style kitchen units at lower levels, shaker style bank units fitted round an American fridge freezer, feature lighting over the breakfast bar and a Belling Range style gas cooker inset amongst a feature fireplace with metro tiling. From the kitchen is a wonderful laundry room that offers a wealth of space and furthers to the cloakroom. The laundry room is finished in the same solid stone flooring as the kitchen, has solid timber work surfaces with an inset sink, plenty of space for white goods, a door to the double oil tanks and a large service cupboard for airing, the water softener and underfloor heating management.

Concluding the main living quarters of the barn there is a secluded snug that sits opposite the dual sided fireplace and furthers to the home office. The snug has a set of double doors that open onto a patio that spans the entirety of the barn with far reaching countryside views.
Completing the ground floor accommodation is the magnificent vaulted drawing room with full height glazing at the gable end overlooking the duck pond. This grand room is the perfect mix between cosy, yet spacious and bright. The warm walnut style floor harmonises with the intricate timber beams that form the framework of the building, whilst the modern Scandinavian style log burner entwines a touch of contemporary luxury.

On the first floor there are four bedrooms that are adjoined by a mezzanine landing that benefits views front and back through the full height glazing. The Principle suite offers a large footprint of space with the bonus of intricate hand built storage units in the eaves, including a walk in wardrobe. The features in this room are arguably the most detailed in the property with features include; A significant king post timber structure, latch lock cupboards and doors, believed to be 'hayloft' pulleys, exposed brick fireplace and chimney stack and a box bay turret window with far reaching views over the grounds. Completing this impressive space is the quirky ensuite with a large centralise shower cubicle with metro tiled walls.

The further bedrooms on the first floor are well sized and laid in carpet flooring. Bedroom two is a perfect space for more independent family members as its shape offers space for a sleeping area and gaming room or library. Bedroom two also enjoys use of its own ensuite shower room.

The second barn offers double garaging with space for vehicular parking and electric vehicle charging. Above this is the separate living quarters, the annexe could be perfect as a separate home office, guest suite, Air BnB opportunity, home gym or cohabitation. It currently consists of a bedroom with its own ensuite shower room.

Externally the property occupies a considerable plot of approximately 2.2 acres backing onto further farmland. The boundaries of the property are clearly hedge-lined and well maintained by the current owners. At the far end of the large lawned area there is a five bar gate that provides useful vehicular access to the workshop and tractor barn that has power, light and water connected. Surrounding the barn is flagstone patio paving that offers versatile dining options for the warmer summer months. The centralised and protected courtyard effortlessly synergises with the platform decking that abuts the duck pond. This tranquil area is perfect to enjoy in the Spring and Summer and is furnished with a hot tub to create an all year round use.

Agents Note - The vendors own the solar panels and explain they generate an income of circa £2000 per annum. In addition there is an intercom system for the double gates to the driveway.
