Nightingale Place, Blyburgate, Beccles, Suffolk

Once part of the Nightingale Farm Estate in the early 1800’s, these charming cottages have since been fused into one modern home, with light filled spaces and a versatile open plan footprint. Still bearing signs of its past, a fresh vibrant makeover has been recently completed inside, so make no mistake that this is a home where you literally need to move in and just put your feet up.
Downstairs is where life naturally gathers, where the contemporary kitchen full of light from the skylights above provides the perfect stage for sociable every-day living, ideal for those who enjoy the versatility that open plan spaces bring. The island was a further addition made to the kitchen since the original renovation and has since provided the perfect buffer between cooking and relaxing and of course made way for plenty of additional storage.
Rising upwards against the unique angled nature of the building, three bedrooms all lead from the landing upstairs in addition to the shower room. Striking that elusive balance of when old meets new, crisp white tones and clean lines allow the aging original beams to really shine and remind you of the history within these charming walls.

Outside

With plenty of off-road parking available within the front driveway, Nightingale Place certainly ticks the box for kerb appeal, historical and full of character yet immaculate in presentation. Sweeping round to what we fondly refer to as the secret garden, the walled garden to the rear is absolute delight. West facing and beautifully private, the garden has been expertly landscaped to make the most of this wonderful space, with Grapes climbing the aging walls and vibrant white Hydrangeas brining a sense of elegance.

Franks Thoughts…

Wow, what a makeover. Aside from the location being spot on for bustling town life, this is a home made for modern living with that stunning private garden ready and waiting for a relaxing tipple at the end of the day.
