Substantial Grade II Listed detached house, rated as two separate dwellings, which overall offers 2,400sqft of accommodation, all of which is set within its own grounds of approx 0.75 acres (sts). The property requires renovation, but offers superb potential as a pair of period cottages, or as a very grand home of some stature. No onward chain.

Leffey Hall
Leffey Hall is a substantial Grade II Listed detached timber framed farmhouse which has been divided into two dwellings, the origins of which we understand date back to the mid 1500s.

The ground floor of Leffey Hall West as it is known comprises sitting room, with what we suspect may be a blocked inglenook fireplace and separate dining room, both with doorways leading into the kitchen/breakfast room which also has a pantry cupboard and further cupboard housing hot water cylinder. From here there is a doorway leading into a cloakroom, as well as further doorway to the family bathroom.

At first floor level there can be found three good sized bedrooms, all of which are off the landing.

The ground floor of Leffey Hall East comprises entrance hall, off of which can be found a large walk-in cupboard, as well as sitting room, which features a wonderful exposed brick inglenook fireplace, from here there was an inner hallway with staircase to first floor, as well as further doorway leading into the modern kitchen/breakfast room, which features a range of modern wall, base and drawer units, as well as tiled flooring and inset woodburner. From here there was a doorway leading out to the rear hallway, off of which can be found a family bathroom.

At first floor level there are three bedrooms, all of which are off the landing.

Overall, the property provides a generous amount of living accommodation, with the added benefit of a wealth of original character and features, including exposed beams to walls and ceilings, plus inset woodburners and the potential to expose further blocked fireplaces.

Rooms

Outside
Leffey Hall sits within its own generous plot of approximately 0.75 acres (sts), the front boundary of which is enclosed by iron railing, with a driveway to the left hand side and pathway beyond which leads to a range wooden outbuildings, as well as a very private and enclosed garden area. Whilst to the right hand side of the property there is a pathway leading to the main entrance and a further pathway which in turn leads into the rear garden, within which can be found further wooden outbuildings in various states of repair, with further garden areas beyond. Taking into account the impressive property and its many facets, as well as the highly regarded village in which it is located and the ease of access to Stowmarket mainline railway station, as well as the A14 will ensure it attracts a wide range of purchasers.
