Located in the scenic village of Mickfield, near the well-regarded village of Debenham, this charming Grade II listed farmhouse, Green Oak Farm, dates back to approximately 1500 and offers significant renovation potential. This four-bedroom property spans three floors and is rich in original period features such as exposed beams and fireplaces that reflect its historical character.
The layout encourages family living and social gatherings with two inviting reception rooms on the ground floor, each showcasing impressive brick fireplaces and timber beams. The spacious kitchen/breakfast area provides a canvas for modernisation while overlooking the tranquil rear gardens. Additional ground floor amenities include a utility room and cloakroom for convenience.
Upstairs, four well-sized bedrooms await alongside a family bathroom, while the second floor features two attic rooms that could be transformed for various uses. Notably, there are active planning applications in place aimed at enhancing both the main house and a barn on-site, which presents an exciting opportunity for developers or investors looking to maximise this property’s value.
Recent consents include plans for window replacements with traditional materials and potential conversion of the barn into a separate dwelling, complete with new garages and access routes—ideal for those looking to expand their investment.
While currently serviced by private drainage that may require upgrades to meet regulations, mains water and electricity are already connected. The grounds offer ample outdoor space complemented by mature trees and lovely views, along with outbuildings suitable for extra storage or potential conversion.
This property is set within desirable rural surroundings yet remains conveniently close to local amenities in Debenham (3.2 miles) and Stowmarket (6.7 miles), with Ipswich just under 13 miles away.
