Dating back to the 17th century (with possible earlier origins), the beautifully presented and much improved accommodation currently in brief comprises of a six panel entrance door with fluted pilasters to side opening to a reception hall, with fireplace and stairs off to first floor, wooden flooring and door to a ground floor cloakroom with WC and wash basin. The drawing room is a spacious reception room, with a light and airy feel and includes a wood-burner, window to front and French doors to the rear gardens.
The sitting room is an elegant reception retaining original features including a fine Inglenook fireplace with wood burner and window to the front. A door leads from the entrance hall and sitting room to the kitchen breakfast room, fitted with a hand-built farmhouse style kitchen with space for range oven and a fine quarry tiled floor and window to rear. Door to the utility room with units, sink and door to garden.
The staircase from entrance hall leads to the first floor landing with doors leading to the five comfortable bedrooms including the principal bedroom with stylish en-suite shower. A generous family bathroom with roll top bath completes the accommodation.

A driveway to the side of the house (see agents note) leads to the rear gardens. The part walled grounds are predominantly laid to lawn interspersed with well stocked flower and shrub borders and pond with adjacent terrace area ideally placed to enjoy warm summer days and views of the parish church tower. A further terrace area immediately abuts the rear of the property and is also conveniently placed for al-fresco dining. There are also a wealth of mature trees and fruit trees. To the side of the house is an orangery (in a state of disrepair/requiring renovation/removing) with stairs down to a small cellar.
Location
The house occupies a prominent setting in the centre of the village. Ixworth offers an excellent range of local facilities which include a doctor’s surgery, schools, village shop, cafe and post office. Ixworth is located approximately 7 miles from Bury St Edmunds and 15 miles from Stowmarket with its main line rail link to London.
