Summary - BUXHALL MILL MILL ROAD BUXHALL STOWMARKET IP14 3DS
8 bed 5 bath Detached
Versatile period estate with income flats, barn PP and huge gardens.
Grade II listed multi-building estate in about 1.2 acres
Buxhall Mill is an extraordinary multi-building family estate set in about 1.2 acres of formal gardens, terraces and a tennis court. The main house has been sympathetically renovated and offers flexible living with three principal bedrooms and reception rooms, plus an attached two‑bed annexe that can remain independent or be reintegrated. The property includes a detached granary converted into two income flats, a detached barn with planning permission for two‑bed open-plan accommodation, and a restored six‑storey mill tower that has been structurally stabilised.
This is well suited to a family seeking characterful, versatile accommodation with business or rental potential. The granary flats are already let and provide substantial income; separate front and rear drives enhance privacy and make multi-occupancy practical. The main house benefits from exposed timbers, sash windows, a kitchen/breakfast hub with electric Aga, a master suite with balcony, and good natural light throughout.
Important practical points are stated plainly: the buildings are Grade II listed, which restricts alterations and may complicate conversions or extensions. Heating is by oil (main house) and electric to some flats, and while the mill tower has been stabilised, its listed status and vertical layout limit its practical uses without specialist consent. The detached barn has planning permission but will still require completion works and appropriate services.
Overall the estate blends immediate liveability with clear scope for further enhancement and income generation. It will appeal to buyers who value period character, large private grounds and a property with multi‑unit flexibility — but buyers should budget for listed‑building constraints and ongoing maintenance typical of historic, multi‑building estates.
