Large rural estate with holiday business and planning for 200 solar panels.
About 52.75 acres in two lots (farmhouse+buildings and 43.16 acres)
A substantial rural estate extending to about 52.75 acres, offered as a whole or in two lots. The principal asset is a Grade II listed 16th‑century farmhouse with period features, five holiday cottages, an indoor pool, gym and extensive outbuildings, set in established grazing land currently used for sheep and cattle. Forty‑five solar panels already generate a fixed income and planning permission exists for a further 200 panels, giving clear scope to improve returns.
This opportunity suits buyers seeking a leisure business, smallholding or equestrian facility: land is under‑drained and laid out in paddocks with mature shelter belts and hilltop views. The farmyard includes conversion‑ready buildings and an operational caravan club pitch with services, offering multiple income streams or development potential (subject to consents).
Important constraints are factual and material: the farmhouse is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and add consenting complexity; the farmhouse has an EPC rating F (29). Some buildings and the listed fabric will require ongoing maintenance and careful management. Tenure is recorded as unknown in the summary and full legal/title checks are essential.
The estate is accessed by a private tree‑lined drive and sits in a quiet hamlet near Cookley and Halesworth, around ten miles from the Suffolk Heritage Coast. Low local crime, good primary schools nearby and fast broadband support both business uses and comfortable country living, but the remoter location means services and larger amenities are a short drive away.
