This Grade II listed former farmhouse, situated on the outskirts of a well-connected village, presents a compelling opportunity for renovation and investment. Set within 1.4 acres of land, the property is surrounded by picturesque countryside, providing an enviable environment for those who appreciate natural beauty and outdoor activities.
Stockhold Green Farmhouse dates back to the early 16th century and showcases traditional timber-frame construction with rendered elevations beneath a charming thatched roof. Having been in the same family since shortly after World War II, this residence has retained many original features, including exposed beams and inglenook fireplaces, but now offers a chance for new owners to modernize and make it their own. The expansive living space spans approximately 2,400 square feet across two levels, allowing for a versatile layout.
The ground floor includes a welcoming entrance hall with a cloakroom leading to an expansive sitting room adorned with double-aspect windows and open studwork that creates a cozy study area. The central hall provides access to an impressive 27-foot kitchen/breakfast room featuring high ceilings and ample storage, along with essential cooking appliances such as a gas Aga and an electric hob.
On the upper floor, there are four well-sized bedrooms that offer pleasant views of the gardens and include fitted wardrobes for additional storage solutions. Two bathrooms complete this level; one is equipped with a full suite while the other offers a shower cubicle.
Externally, the property benefits from extensive grounds with mature trees and shrubs that enhance privacy. A large gravel driveway leads to both a double cart lodge and workshop with power connections. Additionally, there is potential for conversion or repurposing of an adjoining barn into an annexe or entertainment space, subject to planning permissions.
Located just one mile from Thurston’s village center—boasting amenities such as a train station, shops, schools, and pubs—this property balances rural tranquility with accessibility. Bury St Edmunds is around six miles away, offering rich historical significance alongside various dining options and shopping experiences. For those commuting further afield or seeking cultural experiences in cities like Cambridge or London, both are conveniently reachable via major roadways and rail connections.
This property not only serves as a delightful family home but also stands as an investment opportunity ripe for modernization in an attractive rural setting.
