Description

A spacious and beautifully presented period house with elegant interiors and secluded grounds of about an acre.

Description

Occupying a wonderful position in the delightful rural village of Brome, adjacent to the pretty 12th-century Church of St Mary - one of only 38 round-tower churches in Suffolk - Church Farm House is a substantial and immaculately presented family home with beautiful gardens.

The heart of the building dates from the 17th century, with additions and improvements made throughout the centuries. A shingle drive leads to the house, which is set back from a quiet road, featuring handsome rendered elevations under a slate tile roof. The property offers a rare combination of historic charm and modern comfort, making it a superbly comfortable family home.

Internally, the accommodation flows remarkably well, comprising wonderfully proportioned, light-filled rooms with high ceilings throughout. Partially glazed double doors open into an entrance hall, which leads through to the sitting room, drawing room, snug, and kitchen/breakfast room.

The sitting room is an especially capacious space, flooded with natural light from a triple aspect. The delightful double-aspect drawing room has a handsome chimneypiece and timber-framed French windows opening onto the garden. The spacious kitchen offers ample space for dining on a grand scale and flows through to a relaxed snug, which could also be used as a dining room. The snug features French windows leading directly to the terrace.

There are six well-proportioned double bedrooms and three bathrooms across the first and second floors, including a principal bedroom with a dressing room and a Jack & Jill en suite bathroom.

Gardens & Grounds

Church Farmhouse has beautiful and secluded grounds of about an acre (STS), bordered by mature trees, with delightful principally lawned gardens, a terrace, pond, and outbuilding.

Immediately to the rear of the house is a generous south-west-facing terrace, providing an ideal setting for al fresco dining and entertaining. This leads to an expansive, verdant lawn interspersed with specimen trees and shrubs, perfectly suited for relaxation, summer gatherings, or a game of croquet.

To the west, a further walled garden offers additional privacy, while bordering the churchyard is a tranquil pond, framed by a copse of ancient trees.

There is extensive parking to the front of the house for multiple cars on a shingle drive. Adjoining the building is a useful store.
