Historic farmhouse with large barn, paddock and panoramic countryside views.
Five-bedroom Grade II listed 17th-century farmhouse with extensive period features
Halfway House Farm is a carefully presented Grade II listed 17th‑century farmhouse set in about 2.20 acres, combining authentic period character with practical modern living. Original features — exposed beams, oak flooring, vaulted oak garden room and a farmhouse kitchen with handmade units — create a warm, spacious home suited to family life and home working. The property includes a substantial 60' x 60' barn, double garage, double cart lodge, garden machinery store, dedicated home office and enclosed paddock with open countryside views.
The layout offers five bedrooms, two bathrooms (including a master en‑suite with jacuzzi spa bath) and multiple reception rooms, making it flexible for family, guest and work spaces. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent and the parcel sits in an affluent, low‑crime rural village with good primary and secondary school options nearby and reasonable access to Sudbury and Bury St Edmunds.
Buyers should note material practicalities: the house is Grade II listed, which will limit alterations and can complicate permissions and insurance; heating is via oil-fired boiler; drainage includes private elements; and council tax is in Band F (around £3,090.55 pa). Services have not been independently tested and any work or changes will require listed‑building consent.
This property will suit purchasers seeking a well‑maintained period farmhouse with significant ancillary buildings and land for hobby farming, equestrian use or conversion potential (subject to consents). It is less suited to buyers wanting unrestricted modernisation or low‑maintenance urban living due to its listed status, rural setting and servicing specifics.
