Set on a large plot in sought-after Great Barton, this substantially extended detached house delivers versatile family living across about 1,800 sq ft. The ground floor centres on a generous open-plan kitchen/dining/family room with island and integrated appliances, complemented by a sitting room with wood burner and a vaulted garden room that opens onto a private lawn and covered bar terrace — ideal for family entertaining.
Practical everyday living is well provided for: a utility room, a large home office (which could be a ground-floor 5th bedroom), and plenty of off-street parking for up to four cars. The first floor houses a vaulted principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes and en suite, plus three further bedrooms and a cloakroom, giving comfortable sleeping space for a growing family.
Outside is a major selling point: a generous, private rear garden with patio, timber workshop currently used as a home gym, and a timber-framed bar with covered terrace for al fresco use. The property benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and an Energy Performance rating of C, set in a low-crime, prosperous village close to Bury St Edmunds.
A few practical points to note: broadband performance is reported as slow in some sources despite otherwise good mobile coverage; the double glazing was installed before 2002 and may not match contemporary standards. Overall, this is a flexible, well-located family home with strong entertaining space and scope for minor updating where desired.
