Nestled within the charming village of Buxhall in Mid-Suffolk, this significant five-bedroom detached residence, originally two mill workers’ cottages built in 1790, presents an intriguing renovation opportunity. Though the home has undergone substantial improvements in the last two decades—such as upgraded heating systems, new wood burners, and window replacements—it still offers potential for further enhancement. The property features three reception rooms that boast historical character including brick fireplaces and exposed beams. The versatility of these spaces could be maximized; for instance, the third reception room currently serves as a living area but could easily transition into an accessible bedroom or even a self-contained annexe with appropriate planning permission.
The bespoke kitchen, adorned with Farrow and Ball finishes and quality craftsmanship from The Pine Company, remains stylish but leaves room for modern updates or expansion. Upstairs, the five well-proportioned bedrooms retain original fireplaces that add charm but may require modernization to meet contemporary needs. The southeast-facing garden is expansive and private, complemented by a paddock with stable facilities—ideal for those interested in equestrian activities or gardening enthusiasts looking to cultivate their own horticultural oasis. With nearby amenities and transport connections enhancing its appeal, this property represents not just a family home but also a canvas for investment potential in a picturesque rural setting.
