In the heart of the village is this individually designed detached family home built in 2006. Constructed in an L-shape with the main house and the DOUBLE GARAGE forming the two wings, the generous gravel front area gives enough space for ample off-street parking. Colourful clematis scrambles up the fence at the front and there are some well-established shrubs giving colour and texture.

The village of Rougham sits six miles southeast of Bury and nineteen miles northwest of Ipswich. It has its own CofE primary school, a Post Office and general stores, and a beautiful Grade I listed late medieval parish church with a lychgate, a hammer-beam roof above the nave, a fourteenth-century font, and a pair of fifteenth-century brasses.

The Rougham Estate runs to over three thousand acres of unspoiled countryside with ancient meadows, oak-lined hedgerows, an abundance of wild bluebells and orchids, inviting green lanes, parkland, and arable meadows. Once the property of the local abbey, it has been owned and managed by a local family since 1904, preserving this beautiful corner of the county for all to enjoy.

The front door leads into the parquet floored RECEPTION HALL a light and inviting entrance to the house. The staircase rises to a GALLERIED LANDING and there is enough room under the stairs for storage. To the right is a guest or FOURTH DOUBLE BEDROOM with EN-SUITE and built-in wardrobes, that would make an ideal GUEST SUITE or maybe an additional reception room. With pale walls and carpet and a smart EN-SUITE SHOWER ROOM with on trend dark grey floor tiles, this is a lovely space.

Off the HALL towards the back of the house is a useful downstairs CLOAKROOM. Leading off to the left is the light-filled spacious LIVING ROOM, a generously proportioned space flooded with natural light from the double doors. The focal point is the elegant fireplace and wallpapered feature wall behind. Presently, the owners have a gas fire installed, but if desired, it could be converted into an open fire. A set of double doors leads into the DINING ROOM with parquet flooring and pale walls and conveniently located between the KITCHEN and LIVING ROOM. There is more than enough room for a large table and chairs and it is the ideal space for family meals and entertaining alike. The airy GARDEN ROOM with underfloor heating enjoys delightful views over the garden and offers yet more space on the ground floor.

Floored in eye-catching ribbon slate, the hand-painted hardwood doors in the KITCHEN are teamed with black granite worktops. The central island affords useful extra seating and there is an integrated Bosch dishwasher and a Rangemaster electric oven with gas hob and slanted extractor hood. Behind it are contemporary tiles sourced from a local artisan. This is an absolutely ideal space for cooking and entertaining, thoughtfully designed and laid out to unite style and function. The UTILITY ROOM with plumbing for a washing machine, plus extra cupboards and a sink gives useful extra space.

On the FIRST FLOOR the staircase rises up to the landing with its slanted skylight. There is MASTER BEDROOM SUITE, two further BEDROOMS and the FAMILY BATHROOM.

The beautiful MASTER SUITE is composed of a large double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a walk-in DRESSING ROOM and a crisp, contemporary four-piece EN-SUITE BATHROOM with a bath and walk-in shower as well as a skylight. The other two BEDROOMS also have fitted cupboards. The light and airy three-piece FAMILY BATHROOM including a generous sized bath.

The large DOUBLE GARARGE with power and light is presently used for storage. However, if desired and with the correct planning permission, it could be converted into a home gym or a further reception room. The secluded back garden has a raised stone terrace for seating, is mainly laid to lawn and has been thoughtfully planted up with a mixture of trees, shrubs and perennials. There is plenty of room for children’s play equipment.

A regular bus service runs from the village to Bury St Edmunds, there are excellent transport links and a good choice of nurseries, primary and secondary schools. This lovely, individually-designed family home standing on a generous plot is a wonderful marriage of rural charm and contemporary living.

VIEWING ARRANGEMENTS:

By appointment only. Call or text during or after office hours.

REMOTE VIEWING TOUR:

Traditional property viewings are still vital when it comes to finding the right house. However, making these arrangements can be tricky and complicated, juggling work and home life commitments, or simply finding enough time if moving into a new area and travelling some distance.

Booking a Remote Viewing Tour puts YOU firmly in control. Arrange a day and time that is convenient for you to “look around” and I will arrange for my client to go out and then be at the property at the appointed time to walk you around the house using WhatsApp or Facetime. The Viewing Tour can be as quick or as long as you like, making sure you have a good look round, focussing on the rooms that are important to you. This will hopefully help you decide to arrange a normal viewing at a later date.
