This substantial five-bedroom barn conversion sits opposite Saxtead’s iconic Post Mill and just under two miles from Framlingham. The barn’s vaulted drawing room with exposed timbers and the 26’ x 18’ triple-aspect kitchen/dining room create dramatic, light-filled living spaces suited to family life and entertaining. With over 3,600 sq ft, a mezzanine study, two en-suites, dressing room and generous reception rooms, the layout balances communal space with private bedrooms.
Outside, the property occupies about 0.8 acres of south-facing gardens, courtyards and lawns, plus substantial parking and a triple-bay cartlodge with power and light. Practical upgrades include newly fitted aluminium windows to much of the barn, a modern sewage treatment plant installed in 2023 and a new boiler in 2020, reducing immediate maintenance needs. The location offers rural charm while being close to Framlingham’s shops, schools and twice-weekly market.
Buyers should note the property was converted in the 1980s and, despite recent updates, may benefit from further modernisation to heating, insulation and energy efficiency (EPC D). Heating is oil-fired and the kitchen hob runs on propane, which may affect running costs compared with mains gas. Council Tax is Band G, reflecting higher annual costs. There is a right of way over The Green and some fittings and appliances are untested, so buyers should make their own enquiries.
Overall this is a characterful, spacious family home in a quiet village setting with wide outdoor space, strong school access and very low local crime — ideal for those seeking countryside living with good nearby amenities and scope to personalise.
