Sutton’s Farmhouse is a detached Grade II Listed period farmhouse of brick elevations under a tiled roof which offers considerable scope for updating and extending. The house was modernised in the 1990s and has double glazing throughout with superb views from the upstairs rooms over the surrounding farmland and countryside. The property is set in an unspoilt rural position surrounded by farmland and grass meadows, which back on to the River Waveney. The house is in an elevated position and offers family sized accommodation over two storeys with the attic rooms being ripe for conversion (subject to the necessary consents). The house would benefit from some modernisation and offers a buyer a blank canvass to create an extremely special house in a wonderful and rare location.

There are some charming period features such as exposed beams and brickwork along with a fine inglenook fireplace in the sitting room with wood burning stove and pamment tiled hearth. The property also benefits from being completely off grid, and has its own power supply via a diesel generator. The vendors have researched and had a quote for installing a modern up to date sustainable power system combining solar, wind and a generator via battery storage. Please speak to the agent for more details.
