House For Sale £1,000,000
A substantial barn conversion, situated in an elevated rural setting with fabulous views over neighbouring countryside. Double garage with office/studio. All in 0.43-acre.
Situated in an enviable rural setting adjoining farmland, The Hamptons is a substantial detached ‘unlisted’ barn conversion offering beautifully presented and versatile accommodation extending to around 3,000ft2, cleverly incorporating the characteristics of the original building (which we believe is at least 200 years old) whilst fusing contemporary nuances.
Arranged over three floors, the property provides spacious accommodation, with a high degree of natural light throughout, comprising a reception hall with tiled floors and cloakroom, a sitting room with inglenook fireplace complete with bressummer and log-burning stove. The room opens through to a dining/garden room, with two large glazed double doors leading to the garden. The kitchen/breakfast/living room is a later addition but stylistically mirrors the original building, with vaulted 12ft ceiling, both sides being heavily glazed with bi-fold doors providing exceptional views over open countryside.
The kitchen has been fitted with an extensive range of attractive modern units with thick granite worktop and 2 large island units and a range of appliances including double oven and induction hob, whilst in the corner of the room is a modern raised log-burning stove.
The ‘west wing’ provides suitable annexe accommodation or simply incorporated into the house, with bed/living area, kitchenette and shower room as well as conservatory providing independent access to the annexe.
On the first floor is a light, galleried landing with slim casement windows over the gardens, built-in storage cupboards and access to the principal bedroom with updated en suite with double-ended bath and separate shower cubicle. There are two further double bedrooms on the first floor served by a updated family bathroom. On the second floor are two further bedrooms with useful storage cupboards.
Outside
The Hamptons is approached from the village lane via double gates to an extensive drive and parking area, a good-sized double garage/workshop with an ideal office/studio and enclosed yard housing the oil-tank and space for wheelie bins.
The private gardens are particularly notable, particularly with the wonderful backdrop of open countryside, with the garden largely lawned with flower beds, vegetable garden. There is a gravelled terrace from the kitchen, external lighting and power points.
Location
The Hamptons is situated on the edge of the village of Shimpling. Shimpling is a popular Suffolk village located between Bury St. Edmunds and Sudbury. There is a church and a village pub located within walking distance of the property. Lawshall is approximately three miles from Shimpling and offers a well-regarded primary school and a popular village public house. Further facilities can be found in Bury St. Edmunds and Sudbury. Both towns offer extensive shopping and leisure facilities as well as an excellent range of schooling and health services. Cambridge, Newmarket and Ipswich are within easy reach via the A14.
Services
Mains water, drainage and electricity are connected. Oil fired heating (new exterior boiler installed November 2022). New pressurized hot-water system and immersion heater installed.
