Lot 2 at Whittingham Hall is a substantial agricultural parcel of about 181.30 acres (73.36 ha) presented largely in arable cultivation. The land is arranged in a small number of commercially sized fields ideal for modern arable operations, with c.4 acres of woodland and shelter belts and multiple gateway access points from public highways. The holding sits within open, productive East Anglian countryside one mile east of Fressingfield.
The site suits an active farming business, a long-term land investment or an owner-operator seeking a country estate with operational outbuildings and yard. The mix of large field blocks and smaller amenity copses offers operational flexibility for cropping, grazing or equestrian use. There is potential for estate redevelopment or residential conversion of buildings, but any change of use would be subject to planning consent and statutory consents.
Practical considerations are straightforward: freehold tenure, no identified flood risk and very low local crime. The location is rural and quieter than village centres — good road links to Diss, Norwich and Ipswich but limited digital connectivity on-site (very slow broadband) and only average mobile signal. The scale of the holding also means ongoing management and maintenance responsibilities, plus any conversion work would require planning and likely significant investment.
This lot will appeal to commercial farmers, investors seeking large-scale arable land in a productive Suffolk location, or buyers wanting a country estate with future redevelopment potential. Viewings and technical due diligence are recommended to confirm yields, access arrangements and any building conversion constraints.
