Exceptional period estate with pool, barn, manege and five en suites on 5.3 acres.
Grade II Listed moated farmhouse dating to c.1600
A rare Grade II Listed moated farmhouse set in approximately 5.3 acres on the edge of Great Barton, offering extensive leisure and equestrian facilities. The property combines pronounced period character — exposed timbers, inglenook fireplaces and high ceilings — with large, flexible reception rooms and a substantial fitted kitchen/breakfast/living space. Outbuildings include a Suffolk party barn, stabling, manege (60m x 20m) and a pool house with heated covered pool, sauna and games room.
This is a strong choice for buyers seeking a countryside family home or an equestrian leisure estate. The layout provides five double bedrooms, each with en suite, five principal reception rooms, cellar and useful ancillary space such as a utility and two cloakrooms. Formal gardens, specimen trees, paddocks and a tennis court complete the setting and deliver exceptional privacy and long-range rural views.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important: the house is Grade II Listed, so alterations will be restricted and require consent. Services include main water and electricity, private Klargester drainage and LPG heating; these systems, and the listed fabric, should be inspected by specialists. Council Tax is Band G and maintenance of the extensive grounds, outbuildings and pool will be ongoing.
Chain free and with very fast broadband and excellent mobile coverage, the estate is immediately habitable for leisure and equestrian use but will suit purchasers prepared to manage listed-building responsibilities and the upkeep of substantial grounds and specialist services.
