Flempton, Suffolk

An individual modern house situated in an exceptional setting, with 16-acres, stabling and outbuildings.

Situated in an enviable semirural location, yet convenient for Bury St Edmunds, Mill View is a unique and beautifully located house with mature meadows and a large range of outbuildings. The land had been home to a riding school and livery yard over many decades and in recent years became partially used as a campsite, and whilst both livery and camping have not been offered of late, it could potentially appeal to those looking to diversify the use of the land.

The house is a beautifully crafted modern home, build around 10 years ago by local well-known builders using traditional materials to create a high-quality individual house, extending to around 1,850ft2 and benefitting from large levels of natural light.

Predominantly arranged on one floor, the property comprises a large reception hall with oak flooring, coat cupboard and cloakroom. The sitting room enjoys a double aspect, with doors to the garden, oak floors and attractive fireplace housing a wood-burning stove.

The kitchen/breakfast room is a fabulous space, triple aspect, and fitted with an extensive range of of modern shaker-style untis with integrated twin oven, matching island with induction hob and extractor. There are built-in fridge, freezer and dishwasher. There is ample space for dining and seating areas, with a large bay with doors to the garden and a well-fitted utility room.

The ‘bedroom wing’ is located to the north, with two double bedrooms served by a modern bathroom, extensively tiled with separate bath and walk-in shower cubicle.

On the first floor is an open seating area, the perfect place to enjoy the views with glazed doors leading to a balcony. This could well be used as a third bedroom.

Outside
The grounds are of particular note – accessed from the village lane, there is extensive parking to the front of the house with further driveway leading around the gardens to the former campsite and paddocks. There is a further parking area to the stable yard, with traditional boxes and tack room. There are a number of further outbuildings, serving in the past as offices and general storage together with two shower cubicles, toilets and outside dishwashing area for campers.

Aside from a private garden area surrounding the house, the land comprises the former campsite, with power points to six ‘bays’, with the remainder of the land offering traditional grazing, with a number of mature trees and post-and-rail fencing. The land to the north abuts the River Lark, whilst there is a stream leading through the middle of the land. It really is very enchanting, with wildlife and peace in abundance.

NOTE: Whilst the land has served as paddocks for decades, it is not presently hosting any animals, as a result the paddock grass has become long and requires some maintenance in order to return the fields as grazing.
