Description

Nestled in the picturesque Suffolk countryside, this Grade II Listed 16th Century farmhouse offers a unique blend of historical charm and significant investment potential. Spanning approximately 52.75 acres, the property includes a six-bedroom main residence, five well-appointed holiday cottages, and an extensive array of outbuildings, all set amidst lush grassland. The main farmhouse boasts traditional architectural features throughout its expansive layout of nearly 3,000 square feet. The ground floor includes a generously sized kitchen, an inviting sitting room with an open fireplace, multiple reception rooms, and a convenient utility area. The first floor provides captivating views of the surrounding landscape from its four bedrooms and updated bathrooms. The additional two bedrooms on the second floor offer flexibility for family living or guest accommodations. The holiday cottage complex consists of beautifully converted barns that currently serve as short-term rentals, providing an established income stream. This aspect presents an immediate opportunity for further development or expansion into additional lodging options. The existing facilities could be enhanced with added amenities like outdoor recreational spaces or upgraded interiors to attract even more visitors. Beyond the residential components, the property's extensive outbuildings are ripe for renovation or repurposing. With proper planning permissions in place, these structures could be transformed into additional holiday accommodations or utilized for equestrian purposes—capitalizing on the property's vast paddocks and grazing land. Currently utilized for sheep and cattle grazing, this land not only has agricultural viability but also potential for creating recreational spaces such as trails or event venues. Located along a serene country lane and accessed via a private drive, this property enjoys both tranquility and accessibility. It is conveniently situated close to key market towns like Halesworth and just ten miles from the scenic Suffolk Heritage Coastline featuring beloved seaside towns such as Southwold and Aldeburgh. The area is rich in attractions including nature reserves and cultural landmarks that benefit local tourism. This property’s combination of historic allure, expansive grounds, established income through holiday rentals, and numerous avenues for further development truly sets it apart as an exciting investment opportunity in one of England’s most beautiful regions.
