Description

A large farmhouse with two detached 'holiday let' barn conversions, situated in an exceptional rural setting surrounded by 7.4-acres of gardens and farmland beyond.

Situated at the ‘foot’ of a 0.6-mile private drive through fields, Burfields Farm is a beautifully appointed country house of elegant proportions and beautifully presented accommodation, situated in an unrivalled rural setting with no evident neighbours or intrusion from the outside world, whilst surrounded by its own gardens and meadows which extend to around 7.4-acres (sts).

Predominantly timber-frame with later additions, the property is of rendered elevations underneath a pan-tiled roof and provides attractive and well-maintained living accommodation arranged over two floors, with every aspect enjoying wonderful uninterrupted, far-reaching views over its grounds and neighbouring fields, resulting in a peaceful family home and idyllic ‘get away’, yet convenient for the market towns of Bury St Edmunds and Diss.

The principal accommodation which extends to almost 3,700sq-ft, comprises a large full-height reception hall, an attractive Aga kitchen/breakfast room with doors to the terrace and fitted with a matching range of painted shaker-style units with large island, granite worktops and inset ceramic sink with drainer, 4-oven Aga complemented by a Falcon range cooker (Calor Gas) and large shelved larder.

There are doors to the family room with exposed timbers and open red-brick fireplace housing a wood-burning stove, leading through to the side hall and sitting room with an inglenook with wood-burning stove.

There is a vaulted side hall with additional staircase to the first floor, a dining room with panelled walls, exposed herringbone brickwork and open fireplace. There is a snug/study with double aspect, wall panelling and ‘stage’ together with cloakroom and useful cellar/store.

On the first floor is a large landing, giving access to 6 beautifully presented bedrooms, all benefitting from exceptional outlook, exposed timbers and vaulted ceilings. The bedrooms are served by two well-equipped bathrooms, one traditionally fitted with a ball-and-claw freestanding bath, separate shower cubicle, low level WC and pedestal wash basin. There is a contemporary bathroom with walk-through shower, large, panelled bath, twin sinks and low-level WC. Accessed externally is a useful storeroom and utility room.
