Market Lane, Blundeston, NR32

Holly Barn...

Dating back to the 19th century, this considerable barn was converted into a loving family home in the mid 1980's, creating large practical spaces amongst its vast footprint whilst retaining some wonderful character features.
Framed by a charming walled garden, as you pull round the sweeping driveway the sizeable plot encompasses this home leaving plenty of outside space to utilise however you wish.
With varying spaces to enjoy, there's a lot packed into this historic home over the three floors all leading from the galleried entrance hall which really enhances the sense of space as you move from room to room and floor to floor.
With bi-folding doors overlooking the gently sloping front garden enhancing that wonderful indoor-outdoor flow we hope for, the kitchen is a room you will all want to congregate in. With plenty of space to dine and entertain, the central island topped with sleek white marbled Quartz is the cherry on the cake for this recently re-modelled kitchen where the navy and soft grey cabinetry bring a modern sense of style against a backdrop of aging wooden beams and exposed brickwork. Moving back across the hallway to the sitting room, the grand fireplace takes centre stage in this room, another vastly sized room with more bi-folding doors out to the garden, a room to truly enjoy throughout the seasons.
On a more practical note, the current owners have created room for those modern day essentials such as a laundry room and plenty of built-in storage near the ground floor shower room, an alternative to the family bath suite found upstairs. On the first floor, four oversized bedrooms all lead from the galleried landing which spreads out the sleeping accommodation really well from one another. A fifth room which is currently used as a study can be found next to the bathroom, another oversized room ready for you to make your personal mark on. Rising up again, the attic room which spans the length of the entire footprint has been partially converted, with windows either end and entirely cladded with blonde Pine wood, this space is calling out to be finished into either a palatial Principal suite or really whatever suits your needs.

Outside...

With large gardens to the front and back, the sweeping driveway wraps around to the side of the barn, allowing space to park several vehicles off-road. Enclosed by timber fencing and an enchant brick wall to one side, the front garden offers beautiful views over to the neighbouring village Duck Pond which can be enjoyed from the numerous dining terraces to be found littered along the front aspect. Retreating to the rear garden, an open double cart lodge provides space for storage in addition to the single enclosed garage. Surrounded by a wealth of greenery, planning permission has been passed to build a separate detached annexe in the corner of this portion of garden, planning reference DC/23/1922/FUL can be found on the Suffolk Planning Portal.
