Description

Positioned within the picturesque village of Combs, this charming three-bedroom Grade II listed barn conversion forms part of the attractive Model Farm development, combining period character with practical living and a peaceful Suffolk setting.

At the heart of the home is the spacious lounge/dining room, providing ample room for both comfortable seating and family dining. Full of warmth and character, this versatile reception space creates an inviting setting for everyday life and entertaining. The kitchen offers useful storage and worktop space, with integrated dishwasher, and space for washing machine and fridge/freezer. There is also a useful pantry cupboard with plumbing for a ground floor W.C.

To the first floor are two well-proportioned bedrooms, offering flexibility for family life, guests or home working. A family bathroom serves the bedrooms, along with a separate shower room. To the second floor is a further double bedroom.

Outside, the property benefits from gardens to both the front and rear. The rear garden provides an attractive outdoor space with plenty of potential for alfresco dining, relaxing or gardening, whilst off-road parking for two vehicles adds valuable everyday practicality.

Further benefits include an upgraded oil-fired central heating, whilst the Grade II listed status reflects the heritage and character that make homes of this nature increasingly sought after.

Model Farm enjoys a peaceful position within Combs, a highly regarded Suffolk village surrounded by beautiful countryside and scenic walking routes. Nearby Stowmarket provides an excellent range of shops, cafés, supermarkets, schooling and leisure facilities, together with a mainline railway station offering direct services to London Liverpool Street. Needham Market is also within easy reach, whilst the nearby A14 provides excellent road connections. A wonderful opportunity to enjoy characterful village living whilst remaining conveniently connected to nearby amenities.
