Converted countryside barn in Rickinghall, near Diss and Bury St Edmunds, is on the market for £1.25m

For buyers wanting a rural paradise, acres of land and a barn conversion - well, we may have found your dream home.

Jackamans Farm, in Briar Lane, Rickinghall, near Diss, is on the market with Jackson-Stops and comes with a host of appealing features to really blow you away.

Hitting the market with a guide price of £1.25million, the contemporary converted barn is set in 3.5 acres, comes surrounded by open countryside and yet sits less than a mile from Rickinghall itself, which is just eight miles from Diss and double that from Bury St Edmunds.

The property was converted in 2019 to a high standard and incorporates a handmade kitchen against a backdrop of 3,500 sq ft of space designed around open-plan living.

Would-be purchasers will be wowed by the substantial open plan ‘live-in’ kitchen / dining / sitting room with solid oak floorboards and the bespoke kitchen, beautifully crafted in painted shaker units. Adding to the sense of space are bifold doors to the south and west aspects and two multifuel woodburning stoves.

There’s also a utility room and a separate cloakroom with WC. The study comes with fitted with cupboards and looks out over the garden and farmland beyond.

There are four fully vaulted double bedrooms, all of which have large fitted wardrobes and en-suites. The master bedroom is a double aspect room with spacious en-suite featuring a freestanding bath and separate walk-in shower.

Moving outside and the home is reached via a quiet country lane and sits behind electric wrought-iron gates. There is a shingle driveway with plenty of parking, an electric vehicle charging point, double cartlodge and studio/workshop, which could lend itself to working from home with its own wc, large windows, external doors and electric roller shutter.

The gardens are of particular note to those with green fingers. There’s plenty of lawn for any growing families, many mature trees and flower/shrub beds, a useful timber workshop and an attractive, partially walled pergola and west facing al-fresco dining area.

Adjoining the gardens is a meadow to the north measuring about 2.5 acres.
