This impressive Grade II listed detached family residence offers significant potential for renovation and expansion, situated on approximately 0.8 acres in a sought-after Suffolk village. The property features a variety of rooms including entrance and rear hallways, a sitting room, dining room, drawing room, kitchen/breakfast area, study, utility potential in the boiler room, cloakroom and shower room. The first floor encompasses a master bedroom with en-suite facilities along with four additional bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Originally dating back to the 16th century as part of an old farmhouse structure, this home spans around 3,400 sq ft and showcases traditional elements such as heavy timber framing and historic beams. While it has been well-maintained over the years, there is ample opportunity for enhancement to elevate its appeal. Recent works have reverted the property from two connected cottages to a single dwelling; however, further investment is necessary to fully restore it to its former glory.
Several internal walls are modern constructions which present opportunities for reconfiguration with appropriate permissions. Additionally, approved plans exist for expanding the living area by adding a sunroom or garden room at the rear and repositioning oil tanks—a project that could significantly augment the property’s functionality for contemporary family living.
Externally, this home is set back from the road with a substantial gravel driveway leading to ample parking space. A planning consent is in place for the addition of a triple-bay cart lodge garage. The grounds feature landscaped gardens with mature trees and shrubs, a natural pond at the front, and terrace spaces that provide inviting outdoor areas. With permission already secured for further development including enhancing existing structures like the enclosed yard or converting parts of it into more usable space—this property stands out as an excellent investment opportunity in an attractive rural setting.
