Spoonmans Lane, Stowmarket

Guide Price £450,000-£475,000

Tucked away on a private lane just outside the centre of Stowmarket, this gorgeous home offers the best of both worlds — a tucked-away setting just a short walk from town. From the moment you step into the large, welcoming hallway, it’s clear this house has been much loved by its current owners.

Upstairs, there are four good-sized bedrooms, with the master enjoying its own en-suite, while the rest of the family is treated to a stunning bathroom complete with a jacuzzi bath — ideal for long soaks at the end of the day.

Downstairs is where this home really shines. The kitchen diner is the heart of it all — a striking space with character beams, a beautiful range cooker, and a breakfast bar perfect for busy mornings or relaxed evenings with a glass of wine. All white goods, including the wine cooler, will stay with the house if wanted. The living room has a warm, homely feel with its brick fireplace and wood burner, and flows seamlessly into a vaulted sunroom with circular feature windows that bring in amazing light. There’s also a handy office, a downstairs WC, and plenty of room to spread out as a family.

Outside, both the front and rear gardens are a great size. There’s a good stretch of lawn for kids or pets to run around, a decked seating area for relaxing or entertaining, and a shed tucked away for storage. The gated driveway at the front with ample parking has space for four cars, and the whole setting has a sense of space and privacy you just don’t get in many town homes.

The house has a lovely balance — it’s modern, move-in ready, and full of character thanks to the exposed beams and thoughtful design. It’s ideal for growing families or anyone looking to upsize into a home with real heart.
