Country walks, bridleways, and green spaces are close by, giving the area a distinctly tranquil and nature-rich character.

DESCRIPTION
Set on a substantial plot in the peaceful village of Ilketshall St Andrew, this impressive five-bedroom detached executive home offers spacious, versatile living throughout, beginning with a grand entrance hall and sweeping staircase leading to a dual-aspect living room with a brick-built fireplace, wood burner, front window and rear bifold doors, a separate snug, and a downstairs office that could serve as an additional bedroom; the well-appointed kitchen features fitted units, a central island and space for all appliances, flowing into a formal dining room with further bifold doors, while a separate utility room provides extra appliance space and access to the front; upstairs offers five bedrooms including a principal suite with an ensuite and built-in wardrobes, two additional bedrooms with built-in storage, and a large, flexible landing ideal as an office or games area, all served by a luxury four-piece family bathroom with a corner roll-top bath and walk-in shower; outside, the property boasts a substantial driveway with ample parking, a powered double garage, and a generous rear garden mainly laid to lawn with a patio ideal for entertaining and attractive field views beyond the boundary.
LIVING AREAS
The home offers two superb living spaces designed for both comfort and versatility: the main living room, a spacious dual-aspect reception featuring a charming brick-built fireplace with wood burner, a large front-facing window that fills the room with natural light, and bifold doors opening directly onto the rear garden, creating an effortless indoor–outdoor flow; and the snug, a cosy additional reception room perfectly suited for relaxed downtime, offering ample space for a sofa and TV, making it an ideal spot for reading, gaming, or enjoying quieter evenings away from the main living area.
HOME OFFICES
This home offers excellent flexibility for those needing dedicated office space, with two separate work areas thoughtfully positioned within the property. Downstairs, a well-proportioned office provides an ideal private workspace, with enough room for a desk, storage and additional seating, equally suitable for use as a sixth bedroom if required. Upstairs, the large landing creates a second versatile office area, offering ample space for a desk or workstation, natural flow from the bedrooms, and the potential to double as a study zone, creative nook or games area, ensuring the home caters effortlessly to modern living and remote working needs.
KITCHEN, FORMAL DINING ROOM & UTILITY
The kitchen, dining room and utility form a highly functional and well-connected hub of the home, designed with both everyday living and entertaining in mind. The kitchen features a stylish range of fitted units and a central island, with ample space for all appliances and a practical layout that suits both cooking and socialising. A door leads directly into the formal dining room, a beautifully light space enhanced by bifold doors opening onto the rear garden, creating the perfect setting for family meals and gatherings. Completing the arrangement is the separate utility room, offering additional appliance space, valuable storage and convenient access to the front of the property, ideal for keeping household tasks tucked neatly away from the main living areas.
BEDROOMS
The property offers five well-proportioned bedrooms, with the added flexibility that the downstairs office could be used as a sixth bedroom if required. All bedrooms are fitted with carpets and feature windows that flood each room with natural light, creating bright and inviting spaces. The principal bedroom is a generous retreat, featuring built-in wardrobes and its own ensuite, providing a private and peaceful space to unwind. Two further bedrooms also include built-in wardrobes, offering excellent storage without compromising floor space. The remaining bedrooms are equally versatile, ideal for children, guests, or hobby spaces, ensuring the upper floor and flexible ground-floor layout can adapt effortlessly to a variety of household needs.
BATHROOM, ENSUITE & W.C
The property benefits from thoughtfully designed bathroom facilities to cater to the whole family. The principal bedroom ensuite offers a modern, private space for the homeowners, while the luxurious family bathroom upstairs features a four-piece suite, including a corner roll-top bath, walk-in shower, WC, and sink, combining elegance with practicality. Additionally, a convenient downstairs WC serves the ground-floor living areas, providing functionality for both residents and guests.
OUTSIDE & GARAGE
The outside areas of this property are as impressive as the interior, being south facing and offering both practicality and enjoyment. At the front, a substantial driveway provides ample parking, leading to a double garage with power, ideal for vehicles, storage, or a workshop. To the rear, the garden is mainly laid to lawn and complemented by a generous patio area, perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining. Beyond the garden boundary, the property enjoys attractive field views, creating a sense of space, privacy, and a tranquil rural outlook.
