Mettingham, Bungay

Top Farm House is a beautiful red brick farmhouse believed to date back to the 17th century, offering an abundance of character and charm.
The property sits on a generous plot of approximately 2 acres, providing privacy, space, and stunning countryside views.

Upon entering, a welcoming hallway extends to both sides and leads through to the back of the property. The staircase to the first floor is located here, and there is a convenient shower room accessed from the hallway. To one side of the ground floor are two reception rooms. The sitting room is particularly characterful, featuring a fireplace with a woodburning stove, perfect for cosy evenings. The second reception room, currently used as a study, has direct access to the rear garden.
At the opposite end of the ground floor is a lovely breakfast room with built-in storage and an Aga. This leads to the kitchen and a utility room, providing a functional and well-equipped space for modern living.
The first floor is home to a spacious double-aspect master bedroom, which is beautifully proportioned. The room boasts a stunning stuccoed arched fireplace with a quoined surround. Adjacent to the master bedroom is a redundant staircase leading to the second floor. There are three additional bedrooms on this floor, along with a family bathroom.
The second floor is a true highlight, offering a central room that could easily serve as a playroom, sitting area, or office. From here, doors lead to two generously sized bedrooms, both exuding charm and character. The second floor is rich with exposed beams, and rear-facing dormer windows provide breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.
Externally, the property is approached via an unadopted road, with gates opening onto a shingle driveway. This leads to a detached outbuilding, which is divided into three sections: a games room, cart lodge, and garage/workshop. The outbuilding has been partially insulated, and the games room is fitted with a woodburning stove, allowing it to be used throughout the year. The workshop includes a WC and there are further plumbing points in the games room, offering further potential for enhancement.
The front garden is mainly laid to lawn, with a kitchen garden area situated beside the workshop. The rear garden extends beyond the house and features a large pond in its far section. At the end of the plot is a gate that opens onto a public footpath, providing direct access to scenic countryside walks – ideal for dog owners and outdoor enthusiasts.
Top Farm House offers a harmonious blend of historical charm, modern comfort, and exceptional outdoor space, making it an ideal home for those looking for a peaceful, countryside retreat with great potential.
