Description

Immaculate and Well Appointed Family Home
Standing on a generous plot of land, with plenty of off street parking, a good sized front and back garden and delightful views over open countryside is this handsome detached five bedroom family home, built in the nineteen eighties. It has a cloakroom, three bathrooms and a smart, contemporary fully fitted kitchen and utility room. The rear garden is east facing and enjoys constant sunshine in the summer. It is mainly laid to lawn with some attractive borders. There is an elegant patio which runs from the back of the house to the side, ideal for barbecues, drinks and entertaining. There are stunning sunsets at the front of the house, with a path running up to the front door between two well-kept lawns. The parish council maintains the hedge and grass verge on the boundary. The double garage has light, power and remote controlled doors. The present owners bought the property four years ago and since moving in, they have replaced all the facias and soffits and installed a new shower pump so that all three showers can be used simultaneously and had a log burner installed in the sitting room. The kitchen was replaced in 2021 and the windows in 2022.


The front door opens into the entrance hallway with its wooden floor, built in cupboard and the staircase with light oak and glass panels rising to the first floor. There is room for a cosy armchair by the staircase, an ideal place to enjoy a coffee and a good book. Leading off is the elegant, contemporary cloakroom. To the left is the dual aspect sitting room, a simply stunning space, flooded with natural light pouring through the bay window at the front and the tri-fold doors with internal blinds on to the patio. Its focal point is an attractive brick fireplace with oak mantelpiece and log burner, the perfect place to gather around on winter evenings. A spacious room, it naturally lends itself to multi-generational living and entertaining with more than enough space for family time, relaxing, enjoying a coffee with a friend or reading a book. The useful study to the front of the house is ideal for anyone who has to work from home and could also be used as a third reception room if required. Next door is the good sized dining room, the ideal place for dinner parties, entertaining and for Christmas and New Year celebrations. The smart dual aspect kitchen and breakfast room in a crisp, contemporary colour palette of grey and white benefits from two integrated Neff single ovens with sliding doors, a Neff induction hob with extractor over, integrated Zanussi dishwasher, integrated AEG under counter fridge and freezer, lights in the kickboards, a pale tiled floor plus space for a table and chairs. Decorated in an on trend neutral palette and designed with twenty first century living in mind, this is a beautiful and practical kitchen suitable for any family configuration. The ground floor accommodation is completed by the utility room with plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, a second sink, plenty of cupboard space and a door out to the patio.


Space and Stunning Views
Upstairs, five bedrooms and the family bathroom radiate from the generous landing. The principal bedroom is a good sized double with lovely views over the fields to the back of the house. It has a smart en suite bathroom with a bath with shower over. The double second bedroom, also to the rear, has an en suite shower room, making it perfect as a guest suite. Also with a hatch leading to the insulated and partially boarded out loft space. The third double bedroom is also a beautiful, bright, spacious room. The fourth bedroom is also a double, while the fifth is a single, ideal for a nursery, child’s bedroom, playroom or even a second home office. The three piece family bathroom has a bath with shower over and a countertop basin with storage beneath.


Village Life
Barking has a newly opened pub which serves food, a preschool and a garage. It is close to Barking Woods, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, ancient woodlands which have been documented since the thirteenth century. The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book. Thriving Needham Market is just two miles away, offering a number of pubs, a shop and various leisure activities. The station has regular services to Cambridge and Ipswich, and thence on to London Liverpool Street, making this the perfect location for commuters. Primary and secondary schools are located in nearby Stowmarket and Stowupland. The A134 and A14 are within easy reach, linking up this delightfully rural part of the county with Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds, Cambridge and London. 



With off street parking, lovely garden, stunning views and an immaculate and versatile interior, this handsome family home is simply bursting with potential.
