House For Sale £575,000
Lodge Barn was built on a plot in Metfield by the current owners, who have lived there for 18 happy years. Built on a single level with bedroom accommodation and living areas separated by the hallway, it makes great use of the plot with a long, pretty driveway, South-facing garden and lots of floor to ceiling windows. At 165m2 this is a substantial property set in its own private garden oasis.
The Barn Designed & Built By Its Current Owners... - Located down a gated driveway opposite the church in Metfield, the approach to the property is beautiful, with mature planting either side of the gravel driveway. The area to the front accommodates several cars and there is a double bay cart lodge which is currently used as a garage one side and a workshop and log store the other. The pitched roof provides additional eaves storage.
Timber cladding and wooden windows give the barn a unique and contemporary aesthetic. A spacious hallway divides the kitchen and living area (to the left) and the bedrooms (to the right). The dining room and sitting room are zoned by a central brick chimney, with a wood burner and oak mantel providing a focal point in the lounge. Floor to ceiling windows and a vaulted ceiling maximise the light, with double doors leading out to the garden. Next to this large living space is the kitchen which has ample Shaker style cabinets and work surface, with integrated double ovens, hob, dishwasher and fridge. A conservatory leads off the kitchen, with additional access from the dining room and the hall, creating a completely free flowing living space which connects seamlessly to the garden. The dining room, sitting room and garden room total nearly 60m2 and there is underfloor heating throughout the property.
On the other side of the hallway there is a utility room (with access to the garden) and WC, plus three bedrooms: a large master with ensuite shower room, a second bedroom which is a good size double and a third small double which is currently used as an office/guest room. The master is a generous 18m2 with room for an entire wall of wardrobes, two chests of drawers and space to spare. More floor to ceiling windows look over the garden, and the ensuite has a large shower enclosure with thermostatic shower.
Outside, the garden wraps around the barn, with raised fruit and vegetable beds to the right past the bedrooms, opening onto a lawned area outside the garden room and sitting rooms with more mature planting. The garden is completely private, hugged by the house and cart lodge, beautifully tended and clearly much loved. A pond with running water, majestic silver birch, potting shed and various seating areas all make this a delightful place to potter or just relax. A small area tucked behind the cart lodge is the perfect space for a washing line (hidden from view), and another garden shed.
Metfield is a small village, midway between Halesworth to the East and Harleston to the West, and with the coast at Southwold less than 20 miles away. This is a unique opportunity to own a property and garden in a lovely village location that has been thoughtfully designed, built and loved for so many years by the current owners.
