A beautiful four-bed barn conversion with a detached office suite and one-bedroom annexe has hit the market in Creeting St Peter, near Stowmarket, for £995,000.
Selling agent David Burr says Granary Barn “has been maintained and presented to the highest of standards throughout by the present owners”.
Originally converted by MexHomes in 2008, Granary Barn measures almost 4,000 sq ft in total and “has continued its theme of quality craftmanship with recent additions constructed to the same standard”.
It also benefits from enclosed off-street parking, underfloor heating to the ground floor and countryside views.

The utility room – also accessed from the inner hallway – is fitted with matching wall and base units under work surfaces incorporating a sink with mixer tap and single drainer.

Both areas have underfloor heating and a wealth of exposed timbers and studwork.

Granary Barn is accessed via a shared driveway with the adjacent property, leading through electric gates to a shingled driveway which affords off-street parking for multiple vehicles.
There is a terrace area immediately in front of the house. To the other side of the driveway is a detached office/studio with air conditioning, beamed fibre broadband and extensive network cabling. It also has a useful kitchenette area and separate cloakroom fitted with WC and hand wash basin.
Above the office is a large boarded area with fitted drop down ladder and lighting, which would lend itself to multiple uses if required.
A further studio/workshop is fully insulated with electricity and lighting.
To the side of the office is a half-height gate opening to the remaining grounds which are mainly laid to lawn incorporating a fishpond with fruit trees and attractive pergola.
The garden continues to a greenhouse and the detached annexe accommodation comprising a sitting/dining room, kitchen and bedroom with en-suite shower room.
The annexe also benefits from air conditioning and beamed fibre broadband.
To the rear of the main barn is a terrace bordered by AstroTurf with space for a hot tub under a pergola shelter.
