Leys Lane, Thrandeston, Diss, IP21 4BT

GUIDE PRICE £900,000 to £950,000

The Property
The main house extends to approximately 1,584 sq ft and makes its character clear from the moment you step inside. Exposed oak framing, brick floors and vaulted ceilings feature throughout, but the accommodation remains practical and comfortable rather than feeling overly formal.

The entrance opens into a generous dining area, where exposed timbers, brickwork and the oak staircase create an impressive first impression. Glazed doors open onto the garden, while the layout gives plenty of room for a substantial dining table and additional seating.

Alongside is the kitchen, fitted with painted shaker-style cabinetry, contrasting work surfaces, a ceramic sink and range-style cooker. There is space for a breakfast table, with the adjoining utility room providing further cabinetry, a sink, appliance space and a useful ground-floor WC.

The sitting room is a particularly inviting space. Windows bring in plenty of natural light, while the substantial brick inglenook fireplace and wood-burning stove provide the focal point. Exposed framing continues across the walls and ceiling, giving the room the sort of detail that simply can't be replicated in a newer home.

Upstairs are two substantial bedrooms. Both make the most of the building's exposed timber structure, with high vaulted ceilings and plenty of natural light. The principal bedroom measures around 18ft in length and has its own en-suite, while the second bedroom is similarly generous and sits alongside the family bathroom.

There is character everywhere here, but importantly, there is space too.

Additional space

Separate from the main house is an additional space that adds another layer of flexibility to Meadow Barn.

On the ground floor is a substantial office currently set up with fitted cupboards, work surfaces, sink, utility appliances and tack storage, together with its own WC. It works particularly well alongside the equestrian facilities, but there is obvious scope for it to serve as a home office or other ancillary space depending on requirements.

Above is a large room with a vaulted ceiling, French doors and fitted storage together with its own en-suite shower room. It creates a useful degree of independence from the main house and would work particularly well for extended family, older children, guests or those needing additional space alongside the main accommodation.

An adjoining garage completes this part of the property.

The Outside
For anyone with horses, this is where Meadow Barn really starts to make sense.

The property sits within approximately four acres, giving the house plenty of breathing room while providing the space needed for a proper equestrian setup. The grounds combine generous domestic gardens with fenced paddocks, stabling, full horse walker and a substantial all-weather riding arena with Andrew Bowen surfacing, measuring approx. 60 x 20 with arena mirrors. There is CCTV throughout stables and property.

There is also a shed at back of property: 3 double door large shed with electric and light.

A long gravelled drive leads into a generous courtyard, with plenty of parking and straightforward access to the house, garage and stable yard. There is an electric gate at the entrance to the property ground.

The equestrian facilities are already well established. There are five stables arranged around the yard, together with separate tack/office facilities, fenced paddocks, full horse walker and the riding arena. Importantly, it all feels connected - close enough to the house to be practical, without the equestrian side taking over the domestic space.

Around the house, the gardens are largely laid to lawn, with established boundaries, young trees and a decked/pergola seating area. Beyond, the wider setting opens out into surrounding Suffolk farmland.

Four acres, five stables, paddocks, full horse walker and an arena - this isn't simply a house where you could keep horses. It's a home already set up for them.

The Area
Meadow Barn sits on Leys Lane in Thrandeston, a small Suffolk village close to the Norfolk border and within easy reach of Diss.

The setting is distinctly rural, surrounded by open countryside and farmland, yet Diss provides the everyday amenities that make country living more practical. The town offers a good range of shops, supermarkets, schools, leisure facilities and places to eat, together with its mainline railway station.

Eye is also within easy reach for further independent shops and everyday services, while the A140 provides the principal road connection through this part of Suffolk towards Ipswich and Norwich.

It is a location that suits the property: plenty of countryside around you, without needing to be completely cut off from everything else.
