Nestled within approximately 2.25 acres of partly moated grounds, Rochfords stands as a distinguished Grade II* listed manor with a rich heritage dating back centuries. This property offers an exceptional chance for restoration and enhancement while retaining its historical character. The house boasts a recent ground floor extension that features open plan living with underfloor heating, creating a spacious kitchen that overlooks a historic orchard filled with apple and pear trees. Although the interiors have been thoughtfully redecorated and an en-suite bathroom has been added, potential remains for further modernization throughout the property.
The elegant Georgian façade greets you with its classic six-panel central door flanked by sash windows, leading into an impressive dining hall adorned with exposed timbers and a traditional inglenook fireplace. The drawing room and sitting room/office provide versatile spaces, complemented by a butler's pantry adjoining the farmhouse kitchen/breakfast area. While some areas like the rear wing bedrooms require refurbishment, they present opportunities to create luxurious family suites or guest accommodations.
Outside, the sprawling grounds feature manicured lawns and various tree species, along with a small boating lake and moat that enhance the property's charm. A south-facing terrace invites outdoor dining experiences amidst well-established gardens. With ample space for enhancements such as additional outbuildings or leisure facilities, Rochfords is primed for investment in both residential comfort and historical preservation.
Located near the Suffolk-Essex border, this property offers easy access to local amenities and commuter links to London, making it attractive for families seeking both tranquility and connectivity.
