Description

Positioned in the pretty Mid-Suffolk village of Wilby, Church Farm Barn is a spacious, light barn conversion offering flexible accommodation arranged over two floors. Sitting in grounds extending to 1.2 acres, the property offers an abundance of character features throughout, including timber beams and open brick-work. Arranged in a U-shape surrounding a central courtyard area, the property is ideal for modern living arrangements, with ample space for family life or those that like to entertain.

A spacious entrance hall welcomes one into the property and provides access to the majority of the accommodation. The double-height drawing room sits centrally to the property and features large, dual-aspect windows allowing plenty of natural light with views to both the front and rear gardens, a wood burning stove and impressive vaulted ceiling which carries the eyes upward.

To the eastern wing is the recently finished kitchen/family room; a beautifully considered space with bespoke cabinetry focused around an emerald green AGA, central island and table, with room for relaxed seating to one end and doors to both the front garden and courtyard, helping to bring the outside in. A large dining room offers further space for entertaining, or alternative use as a study or additional sitting room. Adjacent to the kitchen is a useful utility, with a cloakroom accessed from the entrance hall.

Within the western wing are three bedrooms, two of which are en suite, and a family bathroom; the principal bedroom benefits from ample in-built storage. To the first floor there are two further bedrooms with stunning vaulted ceilings, one of which benefits from an en suite, the other is currently used as a playroom. Both rooms offer beautiful views over the garden.

Planning
To the end of the western wing is the original garage/store. Full planning has been approved under Refs: DC/20/03538 and DC/20/03557 for Conversion of store to lobby/utility and study area. The building offers huge potential to increase the footprint of the barn, providing further additional, flexible living space or even a separate annexe, guest accommodation or holiday let, subject to the necessary consents.

Further information on the planning is available from the vendor’s agent.

The courtyard which sits centrally to the property is south facing and acts as an ideal sun trap, creating a wonderful place to dine al fresco and entertain.
