This beautifully presented Grade II former stable has been sympathetically renovated to blend period character with contemporary comforts. The single-storey layout delivers practical, easy living: a generous sitting room with exposed timbers and brick fireplace flows to a raised dining area and private walled garden. The modern kitchen, separate utility and luxurious four-piece bathroom complete a well-proportioned two-bedroom plan.
Practical benefits include a gas boiler installed four years ago, off-street parking, mains gas central heating and a private, enclosed garden — rare for a central village location. The property sits in a popular Ixworth High Street position with easy access to local shops, schools rated Good and village amenities, making it suitable for first-time buyers or those downsizing.
Important considerations: the house is Grade II listed which may restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance or specialist repairs. The original timber-frame construction is noted as having no assumed insulation, and the EPC is mid-range (E), so further energy improvements may be needed. The plan is a long, narrow single-storey layout, so buyers seeking larger floorplates or extensive extension potential should check listing constraints.
Overall this detached stable conversion offers a rare combination of character, low‑maintenance single-level living and central village convenience. It will suit buyers who value period detail and a ready-to-live-in home, but who understand listed-property responsibilities and potential energy upgrade needs.
