This remarkable Grade II Listed Suffolk longhouse, believed to date back to the 16th century, sits on an expansive 0.8-acre plot that offers captivating farmland views and a host of outbuildings ripe for renovation. Located on the outskirts of the semi-rural village of Hawstead, this property presents a unique opportunity for investors or those seeking a home with historical charm combined with modern potential.
Upon entering, you'll find a hallway leading to various rooms including the kitchen equipped with a classic oil-fired Aga and a generous pantry. The character features such as exposed beams add to its rustic charm, while the layout allows for adaptable living spaces. A dedicated utility room provides practical access to the rear garden.
The dual-aspect dining room, complete with an open fireplace, flows into a spacious living room highlighted by an inglenook fireplace, both areas offering delightful views of the gardens. The two primary bedrooms are accessible via two separate staircases, with additional rooms that could easily be reconfigured into more sleeping quarters or even an en-suite bathroom.
Outside, the grounds boast ample parking and an inviting front garden highlighted by a pond and old stables in need of repair—ideal for conversion into additional accommodation or workshops (subject to planning permission). The property also benefits from a charming garden room overlooking the farmhouse and features like a former forge transformed into a workshop and outdoor bar.
With gardens laid out over multiple levels—including kitchen gardens and sheltered terraces—this property embodies the potential for extensive landscaping while retaining considerable natural beauty. Ideally located between Sudbury and Bury St Edmunds, it enjoys access to serene countryside living while remaining close to urban amenities.
Overall, Bryers Farm represents not just a residence but also an opportunity for substantial renovation or development in one of East England’s picturesque locations.
