The Properties

The ground floor offers two large living spaces, all with character features and a wood burner in each room; a spacious sitting room which also gives access to a double bedroom and en-suite, ideal for guests. The spacious kitchen/dining/living area forms the hub of the home with access to a terrace running along the rear of the house. To the rear is a utility room and a cloakroom. The first floor landing transforms into a light and airy study space with vaulted ceiling (could convert to a 5th bedroom). The striking master suite has vaulted ceilings, complete with dressing area and bespoke en-suite shower room. Two further double bedrooms and family bathroom complete the first-floor accommodation.

Ivy Grange Farm Barn is a newly renovated 17th century grain store and milking parlour which offers luxurious holiday accommodation with three bedrooms, two with en-suites and a family bathroom. The front door opens into the spacious 31ft open-plan eating/living/kitchen area with a wood-burner. The kitchen has an electric range cooker with ceramic hobs, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. To the rear is a utility room with a freezer and washing machine.
To complement and further improve the outstanding level of work gone into both the farmhouse and barn, solar panels and a biomass heating system have been installed to improve efficiency and are extremely enviromentally friendly as well as highly economical. The barn incorporates many original beams and features.

Gardens and Grounds
A five-bar gate opens on to the long gravelled driveway, with the farmhouse sitting directly in front of you. A large pond sits by the double garage, brick stable building and timber-clad garden store, where access to the land and barn can also be found. A traditional Suffolk moat is found to the side of the house and has been used as a 'natural swimming pool'. The house and its attractive gardens occupy roughly a third of the plot, which is also home to a greenhouse, vegetable plot, fruit cage and orchard. Behind the house is a courtyard, with impressive views over the fields beyond. From here, access to an external boiler room and storeroom with outside showers can be found. Separate gated access to the holiday barn and the 3 acre meadow can be obtained from the lane with plenty of hard standing parking with an EV charging point.
