Greatwood House in Great Blakenham, near Ipswich, sits within about eight acres of woodland.
It is now on sale with The Agency UK with a guide price of £1,800,000.
The current owners of Greatwood House are builders themselves and designed and built the family home, which is located about five miles north-west of Ipswich.
With ‘open plan’ living at the heart of its design, the property offers versatile and well-designed accommodation throughout.
Some of the features include a large entrance reception, a fitted kitchen opening to reception areas, and a separated annexed accommodation currently generating an income of around £50,000 per year.
The annexed accommodation has three bedrooms, two shower rooms, and a large kitchen/living space, which is currently let for holiday or guest accommodation.
The annexe could also be used to house an extended family.
Inside Greatwood House, the entrance reception area features a stylish, illuminated staircase leading to the mezzanine first floor.
The dining area is spacious with floor-to-ceiling bay windows, and has access to the open plan kitchen/living/family room, along with two ground floor bedrooms sharing a Jack and Jill ensuite.
The fully fitted kitchen has a range of cooking appliances and quality fridges and freezers, with a centre workstation overlooking the breakfast table and living space. The living area has bifold doors leading to the outside patio and garden.
On the first floor, the initial mezzanine level provides a bright open plan space with a large floor-to-ceiling bay window with views of the surrounding woodland.
The master bedroom features a his and hers dressing area and en-suite, which has a sunken Jacuzzi-style bath, an open shower, a bidet, toilets, and twin wash basins.
The second bedroom on the first floor has a fully tiled ensuite wet room, while the luxurious family bathroom has a large shower enclosure and a freestanding bath.
Outside, the large lawned main garden and patio offer ample space for family needs, with several outbuildings providing useful storage.
