Summary - ROOKERY FARM BARN DAISY GREEN GREAT ASHFIELD BURY ST EDMUNDS IP31 3HW
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Substantial period property with tennis court and extensive private gardens.
Grade II Listed Tudor house, origins c.1480, many original features intact
Rookery Farmhouse is a rare Grade II Listed Tudor property on about 2.6 acres, set back at the end of a curving drive in a peaceful hamlet. The house dates from 1480 and retains authentic features—inglenook fireplaces, exposed timbers, mullion windows and vaulted bedroom ceilings—combined with sympathetic rear extensions that create flexible family accommodation. Extensive recent upgrades include a new oil boiler and tank, pressurised hot water, new kitchen, oak and stone floors, three log burners, and secondary glazing.
The gardens are a major asset: wide lawns, herbaceous borders, specimen trees, a pond, a hard tennis court with summer house, paved terraces and a wisteria-draped pergola for alfresco dining. Practical outbuildings include a large triple carport and a garage/workshop, recent cart-lodge conversion to a garden room, sauna and a hot tub, plus substantial parking.
There are some material considerations. The property’s Grade II Listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate modernisation or enlargement. A recently added two-storey guest wing has an unfinished first-floor bedroom. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow and mobile signal average, which could limit home-working without investment. Drainage is private and council tax is noted as quite expensive.
This house will suit buyers seeking a characterful country family home with substantial grounds and leisure amenities, and those prepared to manage listed-building constraints and upgrade connectivity where needed.
