Hill Farm Barn is an expansive, light-filled barn conversion set on 0.6 acre at the edge of Rushmere St. Andrew, combining exposed beams and brick with contemporary fittings. The principal open-plan ground floor creates a striking family hub around a bespoke kitchen and double-height glazing that frames the rear terrace and countryside views. There are multiple reception rooms including a cinema, study and playroom, plus a vaulted galleried landing accessing four first-floor bedrooms and additional second-floor accommodation with balcony.
A substantial, separate annexe with its own living rooms, kitchen/breakfast room and multiple bedrooms offers flexible use as multigenerational accommodation, long-term rental or a holiday let. Outside, secluded lawns, paved terraces and a decked area with an exercise-heated pool provide a private rural setting; parking for several cars and cart lodges add practicality.
Practical considerations: the property uses oil-fired central heating and private drainage (compliance understood but further information is being sought), council tax is Band G and glazing install dates are not specified. Constructed in the 2003–2006 period, the home is presented well but its size and several outbuildings will require routine upkeep and higher running costs than smaller homes.
This house will suit families seeking generous, characterful living near Ipswich with excellent schooling nearby, or buyers wanting an income stream from the annexe. The combination of sizeable internal space (c. 8,159 sq ft), versatile outbuildings and visible countryside views creates a rare country-edge residence within easy reach of town amenities and commuter links to London.
