This charming Grade II Listed farmhouse, dating back to the 16th century, is nestled on elevated ground in the village of Drinkstone, mid-Suffolk. The property spans a generous 4,488 square feet and features four spacious bedrooms located on the first floor, accessible via two distinct staircases. The versatile layout includes three sizable reception rooms, two conservatories, a breakfast room, and a kitchen/dining area on the ground floor, all offering ample space for renovation and modernization.
Original architectural details abound throughout the home, providing a glimpse into its storied past. Highlights include oak doors and beams, an inglenook fireplace, impressive oak flooring and staircases, as well as leaded and sash windows that add character. While the property requires modern updates to maximize its potential, it remains habitable and dry.
Set within approximately two acres of private gardens filled with established exotic trees, this property offers various outdoor spaces for leisure or development. A gated drive provides parking for multiple vehicles and leads to both front and rear areas. The grounds contain well-maintained lawns, south- and west-facing patios ideal for outdoor entertaining, two large ponds—hinting at a previous moated design—and several outbuildings including garages, an office space, a potting shed, and a garden room.
For those interested in additional investment opportunities, there is also the option to acquire an adjacent 10.72 acres of arable land through separate negotiation. This land comprises two fields along the western boundary of the property and presents further possibilities for agriculture or development.
