Description
Tucked away at the end of a quiet, meandering country lane in the picturesque rural village of Ditchingham, Plum Tree Barn is a breathtaking, one-of-a-kind residence that effortlessly blends rustic character with luxurious modern living. Offering approximately 3,600 sq. ft. of beautifully crafted internal accommodation, plus a range of versatile outbuildings and 1.25 acres (subject to measured survey) of grounds, this home is nothing short of extraordinary.
From the moment you approach the gated, sweeping driveway, flanked by a manicured lawn, you’re met with a profound sense of tranquillity and elegance. This is more than a home – it’s a country retreat, a lifestyle opportunity, and a sanctuary of space, charm, and comfort.
Step through the imposing timber barn door into a spacious entrance hall where a rustic stone floor sets the tone for the exquisite attention to detail found throughout. Every corner of Plum Tree Barn exudes warmth and heritage — from the beautifully exposed brickwork and aged timber beams to the stripped wood flooring and handcrafted oak thumb latch doors.
At the heart of the home lies a magnificent vaulted living room, a grand yet inviting space complete with a regal natural stone fireplace housing a large cast iron wood burner. Full-length glazed panels with bi-folding doors flood the room with light and offer an uninterrupted flow onto the south-westerly patio, blurring the line between indoor elegance and outdoor serenity.
The kitchen breakfast room is a show-stopping centrepiece. Freestanding cabinetry with marble worktops gives a nod to traditional farmhouse style, while a ceramic Belfast sink, large larder, and an exposed brick chimney breast housing an iconic inglenook Aga ensure both style and functionality.
From here, stairs rise to an enchanting mezzanine landing — a perfect reading nook or quiet hideaway, complete with an arched window that frames the sweeping countryside.
Leading on is a triple-aspect garden room where fitted window seating invites you to relax with a morning coffee, basking in panoramic views of the wraparound lawn and ornamental garden.
The home offers a wealth of additional living spaces designed to suit a variety of modern lifestyles. A cozy snug with dual-aspect windows and its own wood burner offers a peaceful escape, while a tucked-away study provides the ideal space for working from home. A cleverly designed indoor-outdoor boot room adds to the practicality and rural charm of the property.
Towards the front of the home, you’ll find a sumptuous ground-floor bedroom alongside a stylish shower room — ideal for single-level living or visiting guests. But the real jewel in the west wing is the self-contained annex, designed with flexibility and privacy in mind.
Here, a light-filled bedroom with French doors opens out onto the rear garden. A second bedroom or dressing room, luxurious claw-footed roll-top bath with rainfall shower and its own entrance make this space perfect for multigenerational living, holiday accommodation, or future-proofed living.
The annex opens out into an enchanting, wisteria-clad courtyard — a secluded haven with its own seating area and access to the fabulous games room and garden bar, making it the ultimate entertainment zone.
The first floor is cleverly divided into two wings, creating distinct sleeping quarters. The primary suite is a peaceful retreat, flooded with natural light through skylights and framed by exposed timbers. It boasts extensive fitted wardrobes and a beautifully appointed ensuite finished in natural stone, echoing the earthy elegance seen throughout the property.
Across the other wing, two additional double bedrooms are linked by a Jack-and-Jill style bathroom — with a rustic freestanding tub, traditional patterned floor tiles, and overhead skylight — making it ideal for children, guests, or even a private guest suite.
Outside, the property continues to impress. Plum Tree Barn is nestled within approx. 1.25 acres (STMS) of immaculately maintained gardens and grounds. A large walled patio with pergola provides the perfect backdrop for alfresco dining and summer soirées, while the sweeping lawn, manicured topiary planting, and south-westerly orientation ensure enjoyment of sun and seclusion throughout the day.
A range of outbuildings, including a triple garage, large agricultural barn, and a converted games room, offer incredible potential – whether for hobbies, business use, classic car storage, or conversion into further accommodation (subject to planning).
The setting is as exceptional as the property itself. Tucked into the quiet, idyllic village of Ditchingham, the home enjoys a sense of seclusion with panoramic countryside views. Whether you're watching the sun set from your patio or sipping wine in the wisteria courtyard, you’ll feel worlds away – and yet, the property is conveniently located within reach of nearby amenities and transport links.
Plum Tree Barn is not just a house – it’s a lifestyle. A stunning fusion of character, craftsmanship, and countryside charm, finished to the highest of standards and offering space, flexibility, and soul in abundance. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful rural haven, a multigenerational family home, or a place to entertain and impress, Plum Tree Barn is a rare gem waiting to be discovered.
