DESCRIPTION

South Barn is located on the edge of the pretty village of Alburgh, between the two market towns of Bungay and Harleston.
The property offers spacious living accommodation across the ground floor, with exposed beams, brickwork, vaulted ceilings, and polished Indian sandstone flooring, all of which creates a light and airy feel throughout. The barn also offers the benefit of underfloor heating throughout.
__________

INSIDE

The accommodation comprises an entrance hall with ample space available for furnishing. There is a separate boot room with stable door entrance. Off to the right of the entrance hall there is a WC with wash hand basin, a spacious utility room and an adjoining study. The utility room offers built-in cabinets and sink, and space for freestanding appliances.

The entrance hall/corridor veers round to the right and extends the full length of the barn. Off to the left is a sizeable sitting room with a fire in a box style burner, vaulted ceiling and dual aspect views over the gardens and grounds.

Beyond the sitting room there is an exceptionally large open plan kitchen/dining/family room which is well designed with an extensive range of bespoke built-in cabinets, polished wood worktops and double butler sink. There is a large central island with matching cabinetry, granite worktop and breakfast bar seating. There is an integrated dishwasher, a Rangemaster cooker, and a purpose-built space to accommodate an American style fridge freezer. There is a log burner on the far wall and a set of French doors opening out to the front garden.

The main bedroom suite occupies a complete wing of the property and offers spacious accommodation with a French door opening out to a central courtyard. There is a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite bathroom, shower, wash hand basin and WC.

There are three further double bedrooms all enjoying the convenience of an en suite and all with French doors opening out to a central courtyard.
__________

OUTSIDE

The property is approached through a set of electric gates, over a gravelled driveway, which in turn leads to ample off-road parking and a modern double cart port in front of the barn.

To the front of the property there is an attractive landscaped garden with pond, which offers the perfect environment for wildlife.

The property is arranged as an E-shaped plan, which has created two defined courtyard gardens nestled between the bedroom accommodation.
