In the heart of the village is this stunning, individually designed detached
family home built in 2006. Its location is a happy accident. The present owner
was on his way back from work and stumbled across the building plot. He
immediately realised that it was the perfect place to build his home and there
it stands, spacious, flexible, and welcoming. Constructed in an L - shape with
the main house and the _double garage_ forming the two wings, the generous
graveled front area gives enough space for ample off - street parking. Colourful
clematis scrambles up the fence at the front and there are some well -
established shrubs giving colour and texture.
The village of Rougham sits six miles southeast of Bury and nineteen miles
northwest of Ipswich. It has its own CofE primary school, a Post Office and
general stores, and a beautiful Grade I listed late medieval parish church
with a lychgate, a hammer - beam
roof above the nave, a fourteenth - century font, and a pair of fifteenth -
century brasses.
The Rougham Estate runs to over three thousand acres of unspoiled countryside
with ancient meadows, oak - lined hedgerows, an abundance of wild bluebells and
orchids, inviting green lanes, parkland, and arable meadows. Once the property
of the local abbey, it has been owned and managed by a local family since
1904, preserving this beautiful corner of the county for all to enjoy.
The front door leads into the stunning parquet floored _reception hall_ a
light and inviting entrance to the house. The imposing staircase rises to a
_galleried landing_ and there is enough room under the stairs for storage. To
the right is a guest or _fourth double bedroom_ with _en - suite_ and built - in
wardrobes, a perfect _guest suite_ or maybe an additonal reception room. With
pale walls and carpet and a smart _en - suite shower room_ with on trend dark
grey floor tiles, this is a lovely space.
Off the _hall_ towards the back of the house is a useful downstairs
_cloakroom_ Leading off to the left is the light - filled spacious _living
room, _ a generously proportioned space flooded with natural light from the
double doors. The focal point is the elegant fireplace and wallpapered feature
wall behind. Presently, the owners have a gas fire installed, but if desired,
it could be converted into an open fire. The walls are painted in pale peach,
contrasting with the chocolate, cream and rose of the wallpaper, a pleasing
colour combination. A set of double doors leads into the _dining room_ with
its stylish parquet flooring and pale walls. Filled with natural light, and
conveniently located between the _kitchen_ and _living room, _ this is where
the family have enjoyed many happy Christmas meals together. There is more
than enough room for a large table and chairs and it is the ideal space for
family meals and entertaining alike. The airy _garden room_ with underfloor
heating enjoys delightful views over the garden and offers yet more space on
the ground floor.
It is often said that the _kitchen_ is the heart of the house and that is
certainly true with this individually designed dual aspect space. Floored in
eye - catching ribbon slate, the hand - painted hardwood doors are painted in
soothing duck egg blue and teamed with black granite worktops. The central
island affords useful extra seating and there is an integrated Bosch
dishwasher and a Rangemaster electric oven with gas hob and slanted extractor
hood. Behind it are contemporary tiles sourced from a local artisan. This is
an absolutely ideal space for cooking and entertaining, thoughtfully designed
and laid out to unite style and function. The _utility room_ with plumbing for
a washing machine, plus extra cupboards and a sink gives useful extra space.
On the _first floor t_ he staircase rises up to the landing with its slanted
skylight from which radiate a _master bedroom suite, _ two further _bedrooms_
and the _family bathroom_ The beautiful _master suite_ is composed of a large
double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a walk - in _dressing room_ and a crisp,
contemporary four - piece _en - suite bathroom_ with a bath and walk - in shower as
well as a skylight. The other two _bedrooms_ also have fitted cupboards. The
light and airy three - piece _family bathroom_ with natural light pouring
through the skylight has a generous bath, ideal for family and guests alike.
The large _double gararge_ with power and light is presently used for storage.
However, if desired and with the correct planning permission, it could be
converted into a home gym or a further reception room. The secluded back
garden has a raised stone terrace for seating, is mainly laid to lawn and has
been thoughtfully planted up with a mixture of trees, shrubs and perennials.
There is plenty of room for children’s play equipment.
A regular bus service runs from the village to Bury St Edmunds, there are
excellent transport links and a good choice of nurseries, primary and
secondary schools. This lovely, individually - designed family home standing on
a generous plot is a wonderful marriage of rural charm and contemporary
living.
_Viewing arrangements_
By appointment only. Call or text during or after office hours.
_Remote viewing tour: _
Traditional property viewings are still vital when it comes to finding the
right house. However, making these arrangements can be tricky and complicated,
juggling work and home life commitments, or simply finding enough time if
moving into a new area and travelling some distance.
_Booking a Remote Viewing Tour_ puts you firmly in control. Arrange a day and
time that is convenient for you to “look around” and I will arrange for my
client to go out and then be at the property at the appointed time to walk you
around the house using WhatsApp or Facetime. The Viewing Tour can be as quick
or as long as you like, making sure you have a good luck round, focussing on
the rooms that are important to you. This will hopefully help you decide to
arrange a normal viewing at a later date.
