THE PROPERTY
Tile Barn is a wonderful timber framed converted barn with superb exposed honey-coloured timbers, painted weatherboarded elevations, all under a clay pantile roof. The property benefits from double glazed windows in much of the house and the owners, who have owned and lived in it since 2010, have started a program of works to improve the property.

Their plans included the relocation of the kitchen to the centre of the house, opening to the main vaulted reception hallway, with works instigated for wet system underfloor heating in this area, plumbing and electrics for a new kitchen, a new back door to the rear elevation and the removal of a first-floor room which interfered with the impressive open vaulted feel of the reception hall, across which there is a galleried landing that the stairs lead up to. Plans were also in place to redesign the main staircase and update the en-suite and family bathrooms. Works have stopped, due to a job relocation to the West Country, leaving the opportunity open to a buyer to finish to their own style and standard. Due to those previously ongoing works, there are other areas in the property that also require attention and improvement such as the guest room balcony and the rear lobby/utility and cloakroom.

The property benefits from spacious living accommodation, extending as it does to around 3,200 sq ft and there are a couple of excellent open fireplaces with inset log burning stoves. Three of the family bedrooms are approached from the main stairs with the other guest room with balcony, en-suite bathroom and dressing cupboard being accessed from a 2nd staircase leading up from the dining room.

OUTSIDE
The charming grounds are very natural, being mainly laid to lawn with fruit trees and set to woodland, creating a haven for wildlife with deer, badgers and owls, regularly seen. The property is approached from the side over a gravel drive leading to the front and rear of the property. There is a detached double garage, which has a store to the rear and a greenhouse, there is also a delightful old outbuilding/former stable/cattle bower that we feel could offer good further scope for improvement if required and subject to planning consent. The gardens and grounds are a real feature of the property and in all extend to about 2.3 acres (sts).

LOCATION
Tile Barn is wonderfully situated up an unmade track, shared with two other significant properties, in a semi-rural position within walking distance of the village Green and the popular pub being, as it is, on the outskirts of this pretty and popular village. This sought-after charming village offers one of the finest village Greens in Suffolk and affords a good range of facilities, including the primary school, a popular public house, a butcher’s shop and an impressive church. More extensive facilities can be found in the nearby market town of Long Melford to the south, which offers a wide variety of shops, stores and restaurants and for a more comprehensive range of amenities, Bury St Edmunds is some 8 miles to the north.
