Handsome Victorian barn conversion with gardens and useful outbuildings.
Description
Old Forge Barn enjoys a wonderfully special rural setting, offering the perfect balance of period charm and modern practicality. Believed to date from the late 19th century, this handsome barn conversion features spacious and flexible accommodation, a range of versatile outbuildings including a workshop and home office, and delightful gardens.
The building has handsome weatherboarded elevations under a pantile roof, with contemporary black UPVC windows. A striking double-height glazed entrance door opens into the reception hall, a generous space flooded with natural light. From here, doors lead to the principal reception rooms and a terrace, with a staircase rising to the first floor.
The sitting room is elegantly proportioned, with exposed timbers lending warmth and character. A woodburning stove provides a natural focal point, while period studwork separates the space from a snug and inviting study, ideal for quiet work or relaxation.
The kitchen, with its vaulted ceiling, AGA, and butler-style sink, combines practicality with charm. French windows open out to the terrace, ideal for al fresco dining. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining room features its own vaulted ceiling and French windows leading directly to the garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.
The ground floor is completed by a generous bedroom with an en suite shower room, well-suited for multigenerational living or guest accommodation; a useful laundry room; a cloakroom; and a boot room with external access to the garden.
On the first floor, three double bedrooms feature beautiful exposed timbers, each with its own individual character. These are served by a well-appointed family bathroom, completing the accommodation.
There are a range of useful outbuildings, including a spacious office/snug, perfect for home working or as an additional reception space, alongside a workshop and stores.
Old Forge Barn is set within beautifully maintained, low-maintenance grounds. The private and secluded garden is principally lawned, with a patio and pergola offering space for relaxation. A further terrace, easily accessed from the kitchen, is perfect for outdoor entertaining. There is ample parking for multiple cars.
Location
Brockford is an idyllic rural village within the civil parish of Wetheringsett-cum-Brockford in Mid Suffolk. Within the parish are a primary school, a 15th-century church, a village hall, and the excellent Mid-Suffolk Light Railway, Suffolk’s only standard-gauge heritage railway.
Nearby Debenham (4.5 miles) is a pretty and well-serviced village with a doctor’s surgery, library, a range of shops—including a Co-op supermarket—cafés, and a charming public house, The Woolpack.
Eye (5 miles) is a historic market town, overlooked by its Norman castle. The 14th-century Church of St Peter and St Paul is considered one of the county’s finest. Eye offers a superb variety of amenities, including independent shops, cafés, restaurants, a popular weekly country market, and an arts centre.
Stowmarket (9.5 miles) is a vibrant market town with a comprehensive range of amenities. It is home to the Museum of East Anglian Life, the independent Regal Cinema, and the John Peel Centre for Creative Arts, which hosts regular music and cultural events. The railway station provides direct trains to London Liverpool Street in as little as 83 minutes.
Framlingham (13.5 miles) is a beautiful and energetic market town with an iconic 12th-century castle, restaurants, public houses, and a thriving hotel. It offers a selection of independent shops, cafés, and delicatessens.
Woodbridge (18 miles) is an attractive market town to the south of Wetheringsett. Situated on the River Deben, Woodbridge offers an incredible array of amenities, including an independent cinema, boutique shops, delicatessens, cafés, restaurants, and public houses.
There are numerous sporting facilities locally. Debenham has a gym, as does Stowmarket, which also offers a golf club and tennis club. Sailing and rowing are available on the River Deben in Woodbridge. For spectators, Newmarket in west Suffolk is the home of British horse racing.
Schools in the area are excellent in both the state and independent sectors, including Debenham High School, Thomas Mills High School, Framlingham College, Ipswich School, and Woodbridge School, all of which are included in the Good Schools Guide.
