There is stabling within the grounds making this an excellent equestrian opportunity. Offered with no onward chain.

Located on the outskirts of Stratford St. Mary and in the heart of the Dedham Vale National Landscape, this Grade II listed period farmhouse enjoys a wealth of accommodation and traditional features all set within two and a half glorious acres of Suffolk countryside (STS).
The property is accessed via a two five-bar gates leading to a resin-bound driveway – which provides ample off-road parking.
Although the aesthetic to the exterior of the farmhouse is largely protected by its Grade II listing, the current vendors have created a charming family home, whereby original 16th century features mix beautifully with 21st century living - yet the integrity if its origins have been sympathetically maintained - with the wealth of original features being celebrated within the decor.
The reception rooms are separate, yet loosely interlinked creating a social suite of rooms to suit all occasions.
The kitchen is presented in country style, with plenty of room for food preparation - all enhanced by an AGA, recessed into an old fireplace. Beside the AGA an original bread oven is still in situ.
The adjacent dining / family room is large enough for a good-sized table, ensuring mealtimes can be a family affair.
A study and well-appointed shower room complete the ground floor accommodation.
Two separate staircases intriguingly draw the visitor to the first floor, enriched by a wealth of exposed timbers, where the five bedrooms and two further bathrooms are located.
Set in grounds of approximately two and a half acres, the farmhouse itself is encircled by stone and resin which provides pedestrian access to the house itself and the main outbuildings. A large terrace provides a spot, ideal for outside dining during the warmer months. From here, steps lead up to an expanse of lawn, interspersed with mature trees and shrubs, which provide both interest and areas of dappled light and shade.
A heated swimming pool, softly surrounded by lawn, adds a further dimension to the outside space - a fair-weather draw for both family and friends.
The garaging provides sheltered parking with into eaves loft rooms providing additional office space / storage.
Two stables offer comfortable livery - with an additional tack room and hay store - perfect for those looking to have their horses stabled close by.
There is an array of outbuildings providing storage rooms, a gym, potential workshops, chicken sheds and a wood store.
