The well-stocked community-run shop in Somersham is very popular, with the larger Co-op in Bramford and the nearby Ipswich supermarkets offering further choice. The local village pubs provide a warm welcome and there is also a village fish and chip shop and Chinese takeaway in Bramford Village.

Description
This individual, architect-designed newly built house has been constructed by the well regarded local developer, Beechlake Developments, who have recently completed the adjacent property, Sorrel Barn. Horsenden House is built to the highest level of specification resulting in a truly unique and beautiful home.  Full information regarding the specification is included in the full brochure.  The house design reflects the Suffolk vernacular and features of local barns set in the countryside. The construction is finished in facing
brick and solid oak cladding under a new slate roof.

The home extends to approximately 227sqm (2,448sqft) of living accommodation plus a detached double cart lodge in the driveway. A stunning, large, light and airy hallway greets you through the front
door with an impressive, vaulted ceiling and a beautifully crafted bespoke solid oak staircase to the first floor.  Outside the main driveway is block paved and provides parking for several cars and the house sits on a very good-sized plot of nearly one third of an acre. The rear of the house faces south and has a large patio and lawned gardens.

The high-specification kitchen provides a large space which benefits from a great deal of natural light including bi-fold doors which lead out to the south-facing garden with fabulous countryside views.
The kitchen has been sympathetically designed to incorporate all high quality modern Siemens appliances, including a double oven, fitted fridge/freezer and wine fridge. A detailed specification sheet provides further information and is available on request.

The living room is set off from the open kitchen creating a lovely room at the front of the house – we have included a media wall and inbuilt electric heater in the computer-generated image (CGI) here  that could easily be constructed but is not included in the sale price and would be at an additional cost.

All bedrooms have beautifully fitted en-suite bathrooms. We have created large areas of space for built in wardrobes – which have also been shown in the CGI a design by well renowned company Neville Johnson who specialise in Handcrafted & Bespoke Bedroom Furniture.  There are two large bedrooms suites on the first floor and a beautiful bedroom suite on the ground floor overlooking the rear garden and countryside with a very large en-suite.  The fourth bedroom is also on the ground floor with en-suite shower room but could also serve well as a study or a snug. (Please note the fitted wardrobes are not included in the sale price but are shown for illustrative purposes in the CGI.)
