Description

Low Barn - A Distinguished Grade II Listed Conversion in Rural Thurston

Nestled discreetly behind a sweeping gravel drive and beautifully landscaped gardens, Low Barn is a remarkable five-bedroom residence that effortlessly combines period character with sophisticated contemporary living.

This former agricultural building has been thoughtfully and meticulously converted to the highest of standards, preserving its heritage while introducing clean architectural lines, exceptional craftsmanship, and luxurious modern finishes. Its handsome black timber cladding, red clay tile roof, and deep-set cottage-style windows evoke the charm of Suffolk's vernacular buildings-while the interior reveals a refined, light-filled space designed for both family life and elegant entertaining.

At the heart of the home lies an expansive open-plan living area with vaulted ceilings, exposed oak beams, and bespoke joinery throughout. The master suite is a true sanctuary-generously proportioned and appointed with a high-specification en suite and dressing area, offering a calm and indulgent retreat. Four further bedrooms provide ample space for family, guests, or flexible use, and the seamless flow throughout the home creates a relaxed yet polished atmosphere.

Outside, manicured borders frame the approach, and a private rear courtyard offers a tranquil setting for alfresco dining and entertaining. The setting is peaceful and private, surrounded by Suffolk countryside, yet within easy reach of the amenities and transport links that make Thurston such a desirable village address.

With its fusion of history, craftsmanship, and understated luxury, Low Barn offers a rare opportunity to own a truly exceptional home in one of the county's most sought-after rural locations.

N/A Thurston - A Well-Connected Village with Timeless Suffolk Appeal

Set amidst the gentle rural landscape of Mid Suffolk, the village of Thurston offers the perfect backdrop for elegant country living. Just four miles from the historic market town of Bury St Edmunds, this desirable village combines the charm of a traditional English setting with the convenience of modern connectivity.

Thurston is a village of substance and heritage, with origins dating back to the Domesday Book and a number of listed buildings adding to its character. At the heart of the village is St Peter's Church, a striking medieval building that anchors a community known for its warmth and spirit.

Residents enjoy a range of well-maintained amenities, including two welcoming village pubs, local shops, a post office, and excellent schooling-most notably Thurston Community College, one of Suffolk's leading state schools. The New Green Centre provides a hub for events and recreation, with open parkland that further enhances the village's family-friendly appeal.

For those seeking balance between tranquility and access, Thurston delivers. The village has its own railway station, offering direct links to Bury St Edmunds, Ipswich, and Cambridge, with easy onward travel to London. The nearby A14 ensures swift road access across the region.

Surrounding the village are miles of unspoilt countryside-perfect for walking, riding, and enjoying the outdoors-yet the cultural and culinary attractions of Bury St Edmunds are within minutes, offering boutique shopping, fine dining, and theatre.

With its blend of rural charm, heritage appeal, and practical accessibility, Thurston is an exceptional setting for a property of such calibre-offering a lifestyle that is both relaxed and refined in one of Suffolk's most sought-after locations.

Our Saxmundham branch, located at 26 High Street, is staffed by a dedicated and knowledgeable team committed to providing the highest standards of personal and professional service.

In May 2025, we welcomed Aarran Ellis as the new owner. Aarran brings over two decades of experience in estate agency and property technology, including leadership roles at Zoopla, Jupix, and The Lettings Hub.

Our deep understanding of the local property market, combined with national and international exposure through top property portals, ensures that we deliver results that matter. Being an independent firm, we are answerable to our clients not shareholders and take great pride in our achievements on their behalf.
