Description
Occupying an idyllic rural position in the Suffolk Coasts and Heaths aonb and
well placed for Southwold, Brick Kiln Farm is an especially impressive barn
conversion, set within about an acre of beautiful grounds.
The original barn is believed to date from the 17th century and was expertly
converted in 2007 to create a superb, spacious and comfortable family home.
The building has handsome elevations of principally red brick and black timber
weatherboarding, under a reed thatch roof, which was re - ridged, dressed and
netted in Spring 2022.
Internally, the accommodation flows exceptionally well and comprises
wonderfully proportioned, light - filled rooms, with enchanting period features
and great ceiling height throughout.
This bespoke, hand built kitchen has granite work surfaces, a Britannia range
cooker with a gas hob, double, butler - style Thomas Denby sinks with a boiling
tap, integrated Bosch dishwasher and wine cooler.
The bright, vaulted room has a tiled floor with underfloor heating; windows
and a glazed doors look over the terrace and garden. It flows through to a
snug with oak floors, a wood - burning stove and French windows out to the
garden.
Beyond the kitchen/breakfast room is the dining room, which leads through to
the magnificent, double height, vaulted sitting room.
This capacious principal reception room has outstanding exposed timbers and
oak floors; a south - facing floor to ceiling window floods the room with
natural light and French windows lead out to the terrace.
Studwork divides the sitting room from the elegantly proportioned drawing
room, which has a delightful array of period features and windows offering
views over the garden - both rooms share a wood - burning stove.
A mezzanine level looks over the sitting room and is presently used as a
generous study, ideal for working from home. The room enjoys far - reaching
field views.
There are four bedrooms - one with an adjoining shower room and French windows
out to the garden - and a family bathroom on the ground floor.
On the first floor are a further two double bedrooms, both with adjoining
bathrooms, each with separate showers; the principal bedroom further benefits
from a walk in wardrobe and a window overlooking the sitting room.
Brick Kiln Farm sits well in the centre of spectacular grounds, totalling just
over an acre. Immediately to the south of the building is a fabulous terrace,
dotted with specimen trees and bordered with a formal pond, ideal for al
fresco dining. Beyond the pond is a parterre garden and enclosed sitting area.
The private and well protected garden is principally south - facing with verdant
lawns, herbaceous and shrub borders and array of mature trees, including hazel
and silver birch; there is a small orchard of apple, plum and meddler trees.
