For Sale4 Bedroom Detached House in Buxhall Road, Brettenham£950,000

Tucked away in the heart of the Suffolk countryside, is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a high-quality country home with significant ancillary accommodation, outstanding craftsmanship, and genuine flexibility for modern living. Whether as a full-time residence, a home with income potential, or a multi-generational retreat, this is a property of remarkable charm and substance. The current owners were drawn by the location and have particularly loved the amazing sunrises and sunsets here. They have extended the kitchen, refurbished the porch and added the fabulous garage offering. Step Inside Stepping into the porch you find a practical reception area with ample space for boots, coats, and muddy paws after country walks. To the right is the study boasting cleverly fitted cabinetry to maximise workspace. Turning left from the reception room takes you to the heart of the home, a beautifully hand-crafted bespoke kitchen, complete with a modern Everhot electric range cooker, reflecting the exceptional quality of workmanship found throughout the property. Open planned to the kitchen is the triple-aspect breakfast room offering breathtaking panoramic views across open countryside and those big Suffolk skies, with space too for comfortable armchairs to enjoy the morning papers and a cuppa. The formal traditional dining room comes into its own for family Christmas dinners and celebrations and with beautiful beam work is an atmospheric spot when the sun sets with light pouring through the window. The original fireplace currently houses a dresser but still has the flue so could be converted to a log burner or fire if desired. The dining room leads to an internal hallway and to the cloakroom and the sitting room. The characterful beamed sitting room is where everyone gravitates to in the cooler months, with cosy wood burner and crackling flames, the sofas invite snuggling down with a good book. Style, Space & Income Potential The property comes with outstanding secondary space lending itself perfectly to holiday letting (subject to planning), guest accommodation, or a private home office/studio, offering both lifestyle flexibility and income potential. Extending to approximately 1,580 sq. ft, the detached outbuilding has been designed with versatility firmly in mind having an independent air-source heat pump. The ground floor is a modern double garage with electric doors, workshop or mancave or hobbyists, (architect-designed for easy conversion to a kitchen, subject to permissions), and the sunroom with its vaulted ceiling, full-width bi-fold doors, creates a stunning connection to the gardens beyond. The sunroom is perfect for summer entertaining, bifolds open and staying until dusk to watch the stunning sunsets and benefits from underfloor heating so can be used all year round. The first floor provides peaceful views from the bedroom and separate living room with kitchenette, plus has a large contemporary shower room, all immaculately presented. Exploring Upstairs The main house has three well-appointed double bedrooms accessed by a central staircase and beautifully spacious landing. A bathroom and a separate shower room, both elegant and modern provide facilities on this floor so no queuing on the mornings! The principal west facing bedroom also offers walk in wardrobe. Explore Outside Accessed off a quiet country lane, a well-maintained gravel drive with extensive parking for family and friends to visit, leads to the double garage with electric doors and hard standing. The beautifully landscaped and enclosed gardens are a true highlight of this home, thoughtfully designed to complement the rural setting whilst fields surround the plot offering a view of wildlife and the changing seasons. For those who fancy a bit of "the Good Life" the Rhino greenhouse, dedicated vegetable growing area, metal fruit cages, and garden shed provide everything you need to grow your own. The grounds provide wonderful visual impact with enclosed lawns, natural pond, and beautiful oak trees so whether you are seeking a country retreat, have an active family or enjoy practical outdoor living you can have it all here.
