Triple garage and large carriage driveway for multiple vehicles

Tucked down a private lane in historic St Osyth, this substantial five-bedroom barn conversion delivers over 3,000 sq ft of versatile family living. The double-height vaulted reception with exposed beams and oak galleried staircase is the home’s dramatic heart, flanked by a large 22ft kitchen/breakfast room with granite worktops. Accommodation includes five double bedrooms, three bathrooms and flexible ground-floor reception rooms suited to family life and home working.
Energy upgrades include 20 solar panels and an air‑source heating system, which together reduce running costs compared with a standard oil-only house. Practical benefits include a triple garage, large carriage driveway and very large wraparound gardens with open countryside views — plenty of space for children, hobbies and outdoor living.
Buyers should note a few material details: the property’s main heating source is an oil boiler (oil supply not communal), and the building’s timber-frame walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, which may require upgrading for comfort and efficiency. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow, which could affect home working and streaming. Council tax is high and private drainage may be in place (confirm services).
Overall this is a rare country-family home that already blends period character with modern eco features, but it will suit purchasers prepared to assess insulation and connectivity improvements to maximise comfort and value.
