Light, space and effortless living Step through the glazed entrance into a dramatic reception hall - approximately four metres wide, full-height and flooded with natural light. A galleried landing frames the space above, immediately giving a sense of scale and calm.
The heart of the home is an open-plan kitchen, dining and informal living area that truly delivers on both design and functionality. The kitchen itself is bespoke and hand-built, with Quartz and Oak worktops, a range style cooker with twin ovens, two integrated fridges, two dishwashers and a central island with additional storage. It's a space designed not just for cooking, but for connection - ideal for family life, casual suppers or larger get-togethers with friends.
The kitchen flows into a dining area with glazed door leading to a private terrace, perfect for summer meals or a morning coffee in the sun. From here, step through to the generous sitting room, where a traditional brick fireplace with log-burning stove adds warmth and atmosphere. Additional French doors open directly onto the garden, blurring the line between indoors and out.
Space for all seasons of life
The ground floor also provides two spacious double bedrooms, each with its own modern en suite - ideal for guests, older children, or even multigenerational living. There is a separate cloakroom off the hallway and a smart, fully fitted utility room for daily convenience.
Upstairs, the wide galleried landing leads to three further bedrooms, all bright and well-proportioned. Two feature their own en suites, while the fifth bedroom - currently used as a home office - is served by beautifully appointed 'Jack and Jill' ensuite.
Country living, village convenience Step outside, and you're immediately reminded why this setting is so special. The rear garden backs onto uninterrupted countryside - a glorious patchwork of fields and big Suffolk skies. Whether it's a glass of wine as the sun sets, or a quiet weekend with the papers, this is a space to slow down and breathe.
The property is approached via a quiet lane and entered down a driveway leading onto your own private courtyard area affording off street parking for several vehicles. The garage with double hinged doors provides further storage or workshop potential.
And while you enjoy the peace and seclusion of a countryside setting, you're still just a short stroll or bike ride from the heart of Elmswell - one of the area's best-connected and most sought-after villages.
Elmswell and the wider lifestyle Elmswell is a well-served village with a genuine sense of community, offering a local Co-op, pub, cafés, and its own railway station with regular trains to Bury St Edmunds, Ipswich and Cambridge.
The surrounding countryside is a haven for walkers, cyclists and dog lovers, while the historic market town of Bury St Edmunds - with its boutique shops, independent restaurants, cultural attractions and award-winning Abbey Gardens - is just 15 minutes away by car or train.
