Description

Hawstead Hall, a substantial Victorian residence dating back to the 19th century, stands proudly in an elevated position offering stunning views over the picturesque valley. Spanning nearly 4,000 sq ft across two levels, this family home marries modern conveniences with a plethora of original period details, including high ceilings and elegant fireplaces. While it has undergone some recent updates—most notably a new roof—there remains ample potential for further enhancements and customization. The ground floor features a welcoming central reception hall leading to four generous reception rooms, an open-plan kitchen/dining/family area equipped with bespoke units and integrated appliances, along with practical spaces like a utility room and cloakroom. Upstairs offers four spacious bedrooms, two with en suite facilities. Beyond the main house lie versatile outbuildings, including double carports and barns that could be transformed into ancillary living spaces or creative studios (subject to planning permissions). The expansive gardens feature diverse specimen trees and productive areas ideal for gardening enthusiasts. Additionally, there are paddocks suitable for equestrian use or leisure activities. Located conveniently close to Bury St Edmunds and surrounded by quality local amenities and schools, this property presents a unique opportunity for investment or family expansion in a sought-after region.
