Stone Street, Spexhall, Halesworth, IP19

Sensitively converted and restored, a home where lofty proportions and plenty of beautifully persevered timbers balance perfectly with the softness of a heart of the home feeling.
Stepping inside, this barn proudly flaunts her historical bones revealing the structural soul within the heightened scale above, where the mezzanine level rests comfortably. Thoughtful touches gently bring a sense of practicality, from the underfloor heating in the main vaulted living area to the charming log-burning stove, an essential quality for cosy country living.
Generous in size yet still incredibly homely, this main area cohesively blends the layout together with space to relax on a quiet night in or socialise with all the family, a room to tick all the boxes.
The versatility within the footprint is the quiet hero here, where the myriad of rooms throughout the single storey layout act as variable spaces for you to spread out into and utilise as you wish. You could easily service five bedrooms if needed, or simply opt for a range of reception spaces such as work from home offices or games rooms, it has a practical flow which can change with your lifestyle as the years pass by.
The kitchen feels charming and sociable, the vaulted aspect allows the natural light to create a luminous and welcoming tone whilst the utility room provides space to stash away all your practical essentials for a clutter free dine in kitchen. Wrapping around the central and beautifully private courtyard area, the sleeping quarters are neatly arranged in a linear fashion. A palatial family bath and wet room style bathroom is first in line whilst bedroom three and bedroom two complete with en-suite shower room follow in unison. Varied skylights which you will find dotted throughout the rooms allow streams of natural light through whilst protecting the privacy of each bedroom too. The cherry on the cake has to be the sizeable principal suite, generous in proportion but not un-necessarily large with more beams to echo the barns cohesive vision with yet another en-suite shower room.
There is a lot to be said for the finer details throughout the barn, every surface tells a story from the past from the ancient silvered beams to the stable like barn doors whilst the detailed iron works on the windows and traditional style radiators prove the careful considerations which have been made.

Outside

Sweeping in beyond the traditional gated entrance, the driveway allows plenty of space to park several vehicles off-road in addition to the double cart-lodge style garage.
A pretty lawned area frames the traditional barn frontage, the perfect spot for an afternoon cup of tea, whilst the enclosed courtyard behind blurs the space from inside to outside as the accommodation wraps around it.
Explore down the lane beside the garage to where you will find the larger portions of land, extending to roughly two acres in total (sts) stretching far to the rear. A slightly unusual shape to this plot, but if you take note of the attached photographs, we have highlighted the rough outline for you.
A large timber garage provides essential storage space for necessary equipment and further down the field a summer house complete with light and power is ready to be your perfect base to unwind in whilst you soak up the views.
