A glazed front door leads in to the RECEPTION HALL which is a vast and inviting space with full height glazed windows to the front aspect, wood burning stove, ceramic tiled flooring, majority vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers, staircase leading to the first floor, large cloaks cupboard and doors leading to all rooms.

There are exposed ceiling and wall timbers and panelled walls.

An impressive DINING ROOM has three windows to the rear elevation absorbing views of the rear garden and is a beautiful space. If not utilised as a dining room, this would make a stunning study or snug. There is a calming feel to the room and a beautiful hand painted mural complementing the ambience.

The KITCHEN / BREAKFAST / FAMILY ROOM is truly the hub of the home and is a wonderfully spacious L – shaped room. There is a contemporary range of irregular shaped wall and base units with stainless steel work surfaces, creating a most interesting and stylish design. The thought does not stop at the units, as there is a mirrored backdrop, reflecting light around the room. Integrated appliances include an electric oven, ceramic hob, fridge and freezer.

Seller Insight The current owners were attracted to the property 12 years ago by the flexibility of its accommodation and by its workshop,

which provided an ideal artist’s studio for their interior design and mural painting business. They also loved the quiet countryside setting of the house in rural Suffolk, which was nevertheless within easy reach of the A14, the A11 and M11. Hundon’s amenities include a shop with a Post Office, a primary school and a village hall, while other local shops and services are to hand in Clare, Haverhill and Sudbury. In addition, Cambridge, Bury St Edmunds and Newmarket are all within easy reach, and convenient railway stations can be found at Audley End and Sudbury. The main part of the house has a large reception hall, which gives access to a kitchen and breakfast room, a triple aspect dining room and a large L-shaped sitting room. A passage and an inner hallway lead to a flexible suite of rooms, which include two shower rooms, a study, a bedroom and a further bedroom or sitting room with a kitchen area; this part of the house could provide annexe accommodation. On the first floor, a landing with a mezzanine sitting area gives access to four bedrooms, a bathroom and a shower room. A completely separate ground floor wing provides two mirror-image one-bedroom apartments, while a further ground floor wing offers a utility room and a large workshop or studio.

Outside, gravelled areas around the north side of the house provide plenty of space for parking. Adjoining the south side of the house is a gravelled terrace; wide steps cut into a low retaining wall lead up from the terrace to the remainder of the garden, which includes extensive areas of lawn, two herbaceous beds with roses, and a pond fringed by three large weeping willows.

OUTSIDE

The property is approached via a shingle driveway providing parking and turning space for numerous vehicles and in turn leads to the STABLE BLOCK providing three sizeable units and a store room.

To the rear of the property there is a large paved terrace, flanked by shingle providing a peaceful courtyard setting. This area is bordered by a low level brick built wall with steps leading up to an expanse of manicured lawn sweeping around the property and out towards farmland. There is a wide variety of mature, established trees and shrubs and a beautiful pond located towards the far corner of the grounds.

The gardens are enclosed mainly by post and rail fencing. There is a screen of conifer hedging to one corner.
