Part of our Signature collection, this meticulously restored and modernised Grade II Listed period farmhouse is set in grounds of about 3 acres.
Walnut Tree Farm has been extensively modernised and refurbished incorporating high quality materials and fittings throughout, including hand-made quality oak doors and joinery, and offers a rarely found home of such quality fittings, excellent condition and attractive setting.
The property is set well back from a quiet country lane approached over a shingled in/out driveway with a wide parking and turning area alongside the house and garage building. There is independent access to the self-contained annexe accommodation.
The property is approached through a period style canopied entrance porch which leads into a reception hall with staircase to the first floor and there is access to the sitting room and dining room. These are heavily timbered rooms with large fireplaces and a doorway leads on to an inner hallway, with cloakroom, and on to the large beautifully fitted kitchen/breakfast room with Silestone worksurfaces, fitted units, large island unit and an excellent range of cupboards and storage space. A door leads out through to the large west-facing family room with access to the good size utility room and west-facing study/bedroom with its own fitted shower room.
The first floor accommodation is approached by two separate staircases, from the reception hall a turning staircase leads up to three bedrooms, each with their own en-suite. The other staircase leads up from the family room which serves the excellent sized two further bedrooms, again each with their own quality en-suites.
The spacious family room gives this section of the property almost an open-plan feel but means there is huge flexibility in the way the property can be used, and at every time as one walks through the property one comes across another feature of character and quality, either from the original construction or from the renovation and refurbishment works.
The annexe has its own drive and parking area opening off the in/out driveway and the quality of conversion works and fittings match those of the main house.
The beautifully equipped annexe has a kitchen/breakfast room with Shaker-style units, oven, hob, built-in fridge/freezer and washer dryer. It has a luxurious bathroom with large bath, separate walk-in shower and it has been decorated beautifully throughout.
Double doors lead into the attractive sitting room with access through to the kitchen/dining room alongside, from which there is access out onto the attractive west-facing garden. Opening off the kitchen is the bathroom with separate shower and then at the southern end are the two good sized, beautifully furnished, bedrooms.
It is rare to find a Grade II listed house of the quality of Walnut Tree Farm that has been renovated so meticulously and to such a high standard throughout, with the benefit of an equally well-fitted spacious self-contained annexe. The house has an overall floor area of some 4,000 sq.ft.
Outside
Walnut Tree Farm is set well back from the quiet country lane with an imposing approach leading to the large shingled area to the front of the house which is planted with shrubs and herbaceous plants to provide year-round colour and interest. Alongside this driveway is the free-standing double garage and boiler room and there is access past the side of the property to the extensive area of terracing which lies to the west of the house with access from the house. There is a good size summerhouse and dog kennel. The grounds extend to just under 3 acres. Laid mainly to grass with a spinney containing mixed woodland.
The annexe has its own self-contained area of garden.
Location
The property is situated in open countryside on the high ground lying to the south of the nearby village of Rattlesden on the outskirts of the hamlet known as Poy Street Green. Rattlesden is an attractive village which retains two public houses, one of which is principally a restaurant. The village has a community shop, primary school and is a popular residential area. There is easy access from the village to the A14 and the nearby market town of Stowmarket some five miles to the east with its mainline station linking to London Liverpool Street and Norwich.
The large village of Elmswell lies three miles to the west, again with a station, and there is easy access onwards from the village to Bury St. Edmunds (nine miles) and onwards towards Cambridge and its link onto The Midlands. The property is conveniently situated for access to the nearby Prep School at Old Buckenham Hall.
