Summary - BEECH FARM ST NICHOLAS SOUTH ELMHAM HARLESTON IP20 0PS
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Substantial 1843 farmhouse with large gardens, garage office and countrysides views.
Five bedrooms and three bathrooms across three floors
An impressive 1843 Victorian farmhouse set in a very large private plot, Beech Farm offers substantial family accommodation across three floors with generous ceiling heights and many original features. The heart of the house is a well-equipped shaker-style kitchen/breakfast room with granite worktops, AGA and island, flowing to a bright Amdega conservatory with underfloor heating and wide garden views. Separate sitting and dining rooms, five bedrooms (one en-suite) and flexible attic rooms create clear space for family life and home working.
Practical features include oil-fired central heating, double glazing fitted after 2002, a detached garage with an office/studio above, ample gravel parking and mains water/electricity. The property has been well maintained and presents ready to move into while retaining period character such as exposed timberwork, cast-iron fireplaces and polished oak floors.
Buyers should note a few material points: heating is oil-fired (standalone tank and fuel costs apply), sewage is managed by a private treatment plant, and the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated in places, which may affect long-term energy efficiency. Council tax is band E. The house sits in a remote hamlet location, offering privacy and countryside walking but meaning local services are some miles away.
For families seeking space, character and rural calm with good access to market towns (Harleston, Bungay, Halesworth) and the Suffolk Heritage Coast, this farmhouse combines immediate comfort with scope for energy upgrades and modernisation where desired. The extensive gardens, far-reaching views and separate studio make it suitable for mixed uses including home office, hobbies or hobby farming.
