A contemporary four-bedroom property overlooking countryside in Ashfield Green, near Bury St Edmunds, is up for sale at a guide price of £895k.
Number 1 The Gabions, which is about five years old, is a timber-clad property with a clay pantile roof and leaded dormer windows, with gabion retaining walls to the front drive.
The detached property has a stunning kitchen/dining room ideal for family dinners or entertaining guests, as bi-fold doors lead to the pretty gardens. The grounds include a separate studio/home office.
It also has an eco-friendly feature, as selling agent Jackson-Stops explained: “This highly efficient family home benefits from timber framed double-glazed windows and doors throughout, and the solar panels contribute significantly to the heating costs due to the electric air source underfloor and radiator central heating.”
On the ground floor, the solid oak panelled front door opens to a semi-vaulted reception hall, which has tiled flooring, cupboards and a glazed door to the rear garden.
Oak doors lead to the ground-floor accommodation, including a sitting room with a contemporary log-burning stove and bi-fold doors to a sun terrace.
At the heart of the home is the large, triple-aspect kitchen/dining/living room, with its semi-vaulted ceiling, striking log-burning stove and bi-fold doors to the rear terrace.
The kitchen includes units and an island by Cambridge Kitchens, with quartz work surfaces, ceramic sink, five-ring Neff hob and two ovens, integrated dishwasher and a fridge freezer.

The utility/boot room houses the boiler cupboard, with space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer and a glazed door to the garden.
There’s also a bedroom, with built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room, as well as a cloakroom on the ground floor.
On the first floor, there’s a landing area which leads to three bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The principal bedroom has a Juliet balcony, built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room.
Outside, the property is approached over a gravel driveway, shared with the neighbour at the front, which offers parking space for several vehicles and leads to a detached double garage.
To the rear of the property, there are landscaped gardens with a south-facing stone paved terrace and oak-edged raised beds and borders.
The terrace continues around the house, and stepping stones lead across the lawn to the garage, studio/home office and an additional terrace area.
The cedar-clad, insulated studio/home office has power, light and internet cables, full-length double-glazed windows and bi-fold doors and views of the garden and countryside.
There’s also a shed, a fire pit area and some raised vegetable beds in the gardens.
