Summary - BUCKLESHAM HALL BUCKLESHAM IPSWICH IP10 0AY
7 bed 3 bath Detached
Secluded 23-acre setting with lakes, outbuildings and superb living space.
Seven bedrooms and large principal suite with dressing room
An impressive 15th-century manor offering over 5,500 sq ft of carefully restored living space across three floors, set within approximately 23 acres of formal gardens, woodland, paddocks and three spring-fed lakes. The house combines period character—exposed beams, stone flags and traditional fireplaces—with high-spec modern comforts including bespoke timber double-glazed windows, modern oil boilers and fast fibre broadband. The property is chain free and provides exceptional privacy via a 0.7km tree-lined private drive and automated wrought-iron gates.
Interior accommodation suits a large family or those who entertain, with seven bedrooms, generous reception rooms, a conservatory off the kitchen and a substantial principal suite with dressing room and ensuite. Practical outbuildings include a cart lodge with clock tower (twin garage, workshop, open bay and useful first-floor office/annexe space), a timber barn and larger brick barn—offering storage, hobby space or potential for conversion subject to consents. Mature formal gardens, walled areas, orchard, vegetable beds and extensive lawns provide a variety of cultivated and wild landscape.
Notable operational details and considerations are plainly stated: heating is oil-fired with radiators, the main house has timber-framed walls that show original construction with assumed limited insulation, and the estate’s scale requires significant grounds maintenance. Council tax is very expensive. These points are important for budgeting ongoing running costs and any planned upgrades. The large outbuildings and grounds, however, present clear opportunities for further improvement or alternative use with planning.
For buyers seeking privacy, wildlife-rich grounds and substantial family accommodation close to Woodbridge and the Suffolk Heritage Coast, this house delivers a rare combination of historic charm and modern living. Viewings recommended for those who appreciate long-term stewardship of a significant historic property and its landscape.
