Description
Quantrills is an impressive, barn style modern house that was built by the current vendors as their family home in 2008. Being a ‘self-build’ project, the vendors were able to carefully consider the layout, configuration and design of Quantrills, resulting in a stunning house that was built using handmade ‘Reades of Aldeburgh’ bricks, with excellent attention to detail. The design incorporated an open plan, multi-functional kitchen and dining room arrangement with fully glazed double height east facing gable elevation, together with aluminium framed bi-fold doors that deliver additional light and direct access to the south facing sunken decked terrace.
The kitchen and dining room links wonderfully well with the comfortable sitting room with its freestanding Aga woodburning stove, and the ground floor accommodation also includes a spacious entrance hall for receiving guests, utility room, bathroom and ground floor bedroom or study. On the first floor there is a double bedroom with en-suite shower room, as well as a second double bedroom with en-suite shower room that links through to the third bedroom, which has been used as a dressing room/nursery.
Outside there is driveway with parking for two vehicles although further parking could be provided within the shingled garden area. There is also the south facing sunken decked terrace set within a retaining red brick wall, that enjoys the sun throughout the day.
