1 The Green, Great Bricett, IP7 7DJ

1, The Green: Nestled at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac beside the historic Great Bricett Church, this beautifully renovated three-bedroom semi-detached home offers a rare blend of period character and modern sophistication. Every element has been thoughtfully considered to create a property that feels both timeless and contemporary, with the surrounding countryside providing a truly idyllic backdrop.

Upon entering, the first reception room presents a charming snug or home office, complete with a log burner set within an exposed brick fireplace — a cosy retreat for quieter moments. The second reception room is a generous, dual-aspect living space, featuring solid wooden flooring and an exposed brick chimney that adds warmth and texture to the room’s natural light.

The kitchen and dining area form the heart of this remarkable home. Recently extended, it combines the craftsmanship of a Shaker-style kitchen with the drama of a vaulted ceiling and feature wooden beam. Bi-fold doors open fully to reveal the garden and sweeping views of the Suffolk countryside beyond, while Velux windows bathe the room in daylight. Wooden worktops, a Rangemaster cooker, and space for an American-style fridge/freezer complete the space, while slate-style flooring continues seamlessly onto the rear patio, creating a beautiful flow between inside and out.

Upstairs, two double bedrooms enjoy charming views towards the church, while the principal bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and captures far-reaching vistas across open countryside. The bathroom is finished to an exceptional standard, featuring a striking slate accent wall, a freestanding bath, a large walk-in shower, and a contemporary basin. The landing is subtly enhanced by integrated LED strip lighting, adding a touch of understated luxury.

Outside, the landscaped garden opens directly onto the surrounding fields, offering uninterrupted views and a deep sense of privacy. A collection of outbuildings, including a dedicated office, provide versatility for modern living.

Perfectly positioned in one of Suffolk’s most picturesque village settings, this home combines rural tranquility with exquisite design — a truly exceptional residence where character and contemporary living meet in perfect harmony.
