Description

**GUIDE £600,000 TO £625,000**
Occupying a generous plot of approximately 0.74 acres (STMS) and surrounded by open countryside, Long Field Barn is an exceptional detached barn conversion that has been thoughtfully renovated to a high standard, combining contemporary finishes with the character and proportions of the original building.

The accommodation is centred around a truly impressive double-height sitting and dining room, creating a striking yet welcoming living space. Flooded with natural light, this room features tri-fold doors opening directly onto the garden, seamlessly connecting the indoors with the surrounding grounds. A staircase rises to the first floor, while a hallway leads to the ground floor bedrooms.
The kitchen is beautifully appointed with stylish IKEA cabinetry, granite worktops and a range of integrated appliances, offering both practicality and modern design. Positioned opposite the kitchen, the family bathroom has been cleverly planned to incorporate an airing cupboard with a fitted tumble dryer, making excellent use of the available space.
There are two ground floor bedrooms, one benefiting from an en-suite WC, while the first floor provides a further well-proportioned bedroom overlooking the main living area below.
The grounds are a particular feature of the property. Alongside extensive gardens, the property includes a substantial detached former cattle shed, now successfully adapted to provide a workshop, wood shop and store. Equipped with power, lighting and plumbing, this versatile building offers excellent potential for a variety of future uses, subject to the necessary planning consents.
Further outbuildings within the grounds provide additional storage and flexibility, making Long Field Barn ideally suited to those seeking space for hobbies, home working, or lifestyle pursuits.
Situated in the desirable rural parish of Ilketshall St Andrew, the property enjoys the best of both worlds – a peaceful countryside setting while remaining conveniently close to the popular market towns of Beccles and Bungay, where an excellent range of independent shops, cafés, schools and everyday amenities can be found.
A rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented barn conversion with exceptional outbuildings, generous grounds and exciting potential in an idyllic Suffolk countryside setting.

AGENT NOTES
To comply with HMRC's regulations on Anti-Money Laundering (AML), we are legally required to conduct AML checks on every purchaser once a sale is agreed. We use a government-approved electronic identity verification service to ensure compliance, accuracy, and security. This is approved by the Government as part of the Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework (DIATF). This helps us to protect all our client's interests by using the most advanced verification process to help prevent the impacts of money laundering alongside our internal manual policies and procedures while staying compliant with HMRC. The cost of anti-money laundering (AML) checks are £30 including VAT per person, payable in advance after an offer has been accepted. This fee is mandatory to comply with the regulations and must be paid before a memorandum of sale can be issued. Please note that the fee is non-refundable.
