6 bedroom detached house for sale

Set at the end of a private track, this detached farmhouse offers exciting potential for redevelopment and modernisation.

Situated within grounds of around an acre, this elegantly proportioned home is an exciting find. The property has an original wing that looks to date back to the 1700’s and is laid out in a typical Suffolk Longhouse style with plenty of exposed timbers and large fireplaces.

The property has been extended over the 19th and 20th centuries to now offer flexible living space approaching three thousand square feet ideal for larger families. The main entrance leads into the older part of the house with a dining room and drawing room both with exposed timbers and large fire surrounds. A door opens onto a staircase set in the drawing room accessing a wonderfully characterful bedroom above. In the main hall a second set of stairs lead to a landing which gives access to the other five bedrooms.

The sitting room looks to be a later addition from the 19th century. It is a well-proportioned room with a log burner set to the far wall. Set off the drawing room is a utility room with a shower room and a separate W.C. To the rear of the house is a large L-shaped kitchen diner which gives plenty of space for entertaining. A lobby leads to a second entrance. The scullery/larder opens into a garden room which has double doors opening onto the garden. Upstairs, all the bedrooms can be reached independently with the longhouse bedroom reached by its own staircase, a door leads to bedroom two which also has access from the main staircase.

The landing opens on to two further bedrooms and a short run of steps leads up to a bathroom and smaller bedroom. The rear bedroom at the far end is set into the most recent extension and offers a triple aspect with a built-in wardrobe. Outside, the private track opens into a large area of parking with a path leading to the house.

The grounds which are around an acre in size wrap around the property meaning there is always a spot in the sun. Planted with mature trees and shrubs with the remainder set to lawn, there is plenty room for keen gardeners.

The property is requiring a degree of modernisation, but with a flexible footprint which could be reconfigured to suit various layouts and styles this could be a magnificent home. With the property not being listed, this will make an easier project than many homes of this type. The property is also offered without an onward chain making it a stress-free purchase. Viewing is strongly advised to appreciate the opportunity at hand.

We have been informed by the vendor that the property has oil fired central heating, electric, water, and a septic tank system.
