A spacious and welcoming entrance hall, enhanced by elegant herringbone flooring and bespoke wall panelling, sets the tone for the accommodation that follows.

The principal living room is a superb space, beautifully presented in calming neutral tones and centred around a bespoke media wall incorporating a contemporary feature fireplace, decorative log storage and wall-mounted television. Both stylish and inviting, this room provides the perfect setting for relaxation and entertaining alike.

Undoubtedly the heart of the home is the stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and family area, forming part of the substantial rear extension. Designed to an exceptional specification, the kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of shaker-style cabinetry complemented by premium stone worktops and a range of integrated appliances, including double ovens, a wine cooler and dishwasher. A central island with breakfast bar seating and feature pendant lighting creates an ideal social hub, while expansive sliding doors flood the room with natural light and provide seamless access to the rear garden.

A separate utility area offers additional storage and workspace, whilst also providing internal access to the remaining section of the garage, which is currently utilised for storage purposes. Completing the ground floor is a versatile snug or additional reception room, ideal as a playroom, home office, reading room or informal sitting room.

The first floor has been thoughtfully arranged to accommodate modern family life and comprises four generously sized and beautifully presented bedrooms. The impressive principal suite benefits from a stylish en-suite shower room and dedicated dressing area with walk-in wardrobe space, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a contemporary family bathroom.

Outside, the rear garden has been attractively landscaped to provide a low-maintenance yet highly functional outdoor space. A generous patio area offers the perfect environment for al fresco dining and summer entertaining, whilst the remainder of the garden is laid to lawn and enclosed by recently installed fencing. A mature tree positioned at the rear of the garden is protected by a Tree Preservation Order, providing an attractive natural backdrop and enhancing the sense of privacy.

To the front, a substantial driveway provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles and further complements the property's excellent family credentials. Offering an exceptional level of finish, generous living space and a highly desirable village location, this remarkable home presents a rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey family property in one of Suffolk's most sought-after villages.
