Location:

Eyke, Suffolk

Description:

The exterior of this handsome farmhouse-style home, with its steep roof of clay pantiles, Flemish bond brick elevations and handmade oak porch, utilises the very best of English building traditions. Inside, however, it's a different story. With none of the low ceilings or beams you might expect in an earlier iteration of a classic country house, there are instead voluminous white living spaces, arranged in exactly the layout modern life now requires. A single 50-foot expanse across the full length of the building combines kitchen, dining and living areas in a seamless flow, perfect for entertaining. Two sets of bi-fold doors and an over-sink window look out to the beautiful Dove Valley, allowing light in all day long as the sun travels from one end to the other. Underfoot, stylish marble slabs in a pale natural colour reflect light, as do the brilliant white quartz kitchen counters. At one end of this space, in a single nod to tradition, is a full-height brick chimney breast with sturdy square oak lintel and a wood-burning stove in the hearth below. Logs are stored neatly in the recessed cabinetry on either side. It's a generous seating area with an alluring distant view through a wide stretch of bi-fold doors. A dining area, also with bi-fold doors, sits between this living room and the kitchen at the other end. And what a kitchen! As with everything else in this property, no expense has been spared. This is top-notch craftsmanship from Cornerhouse of Bury St Edmund's who have hand-built these stunning cabinets in a smart French navy. The quartz counters flow around two sides of the room and also top a sizable central island, large enough for a sit-up eating spot at one end. There's plenty of workspace for several cooks. The third side of the room is home to a full-height larder system that may well seal the deal if you're a keen cook and like entertaining... Still available at ListedBuy!
