Features and description
A substantial Grade II listed 15th-century village house with garden studio, only 6 minutes to a mainline station. All in 0.67-acre.
Situated within the heart of this well-served and convenient village, Crown Farm House is a beautifully presented Grade II listed house, the core dates to the late 15th-century with 16th-century additions, built of traditional timber-frame construction with Suffolk pink lime-rendered elevations under a peg-tiled roofline.
Located in the centre of a popular village, the setting of large mature gardens with hedges and trees is idyllic and provides a great degree of privacy, yet has excellent access to Stowmarket’s mainline station (under 2 miles away) with A14 access only 2 minutes’ drive.
The property is a fine example of this era, with a high-grade exposed frame alongside many notable features to include mullion windows, inglenook fireplaces, brick and pamment flooring. The property benefits from generous ceiling heights in the principal reception rooms, with some rooms enjoying a double-aspect and views over the private mature gardens.
The internal accommodation extends to around 2,750sq-ft and is arranged over two floors, comprising a large double-aspect drawing room with wood-burning stove, double-aspect dining room with large inglenook fireplace, again with wood-burning stove, leading to the kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with a stylish matching range of shaker-style units with granite worktops and Belfast sink, oil-fired Aga and access to a snug/TV room with window to the rear aspect, a study and utility room.
The first-floor is accessed via two staircases, the well-proportioned principal bedroom features further exposed timbers, as well as historic plaster mouldings around its fireplace.
There are views of the garden, and an en suite bathroom, whilst the adjoining double bedroom is currently set up as a dressing room with built-in wardrobes. The central double bedroom overlooks the front gardens and links across to the rear landing with doors to the family bath/shower room and the fourth bedroom which links beyond to a playroom/5th bedroom.
Outside
Crown Farm House is approached from the road via double 5-bar gates onto a circular gravelled driveway, around a well-stocked central flower bed to the front of the house. There is a detached 4-car garage with boarded loft and EV charger connected.
The front gardens, enclosed by natural hedgerow, are overhung by a mature horse chestnut and include a variety of productive fruit trees. There are further mature shrubs bordering the pond which run to the side of the house ensuring privacy. To the rear, the secluded gardens are enclosed by mature hedgerows and include a wide central lawn and further herbaceous borders. There is a well-built garden studio, providing outdoor dining and sitting area or useful studio/office sheltered by a fine walnut tree. There is a range of secure garden sheds and stores incorporating a dog kennel and run, log store and potting sheds. A shingle pathway under a pergola links to a delightful deck overlooking the large side pond.
Location
Crown Farm House enjoys a convenient and accessible location. The well reputed village primary and high schools, thriving pub, village hall and bowls club are within a short walk, and there is also a petrol station and convenience store. Located close to Stowmarket, Stowupland stands centrally within Suffolk with easy access to the region’s main road and rail commuting routes. The A14, which bypasses Stowmarket, leads to the county town of Ipswich (12 miles) as well as Bury St Edmunds (15 miles) and beyond to Cambridge (44 miles). Stansted airport is just over an hour’s drive via the A11 and regular main line rail services run from Stowmarket station (5 minutes’ drive) direct to London’s Liverpool Street in about 80 minutes. There are also branch services to Cambridge and Peterborough to connect with the East Coast main line services heading north.

Agents Note
Ceiling heights in all the rooms are very good, however, as is often the case in traditional old timber framed farmhouses, two of the upstairs rooms have low doorways and there is a low cross beam in the kitchen, all of which add to the character.
