Summary - MOAT FARMHOUSE, WICKHAMBROOK ROAD, BURY ST. EDMUNDS, HARGRAVE IP29 5HY
4 bed 4 bath Detached
Four double bedrooms, each with stylish en-suite bathrooms
Moat Farmhouse is a renovated Victorian farmhouse set in just over 1.3 acres, offering generous family accommodation and exceptional ancillary space. The main house has been sensitively restored to a high standard with exposed oak timbers, sash windows, limestone floors, wood-burning stoves and a bespoke farmhouse kitchen with Aga. Four spacious double bedrooms, each with an en-suite, make this a comfortable, move-in-ready home for a family seeking privacy and character.
A major value driver is the separate building plot with detailed planning (May 2025, ref DC/24/0406/FUL) for an outstanding c.2,300 sqft detached family home. The large range of barns and outbuildings plus extensive hardstanding create multiple options for a smallholding, home business or conversion (subject to consents). The property also benefits from 17 solar panels on the shed, currently generating a modest income of circa £2,000pa from the feed-in tariff.
Practical points are clear: heating is oil-fired radiators with an oil boiler, and underfloor electric heating is fitted in three bathrooms. The house was restored about ten years ago and has double glazing installed before 2002; walls are solid brick with no known insulation (assumed). Broadband is average (up to c.80 Mbps) and mobile signal is excellent. Council tax is above average. These factors are important for running costs and any future upgrade plans.
Overall this is a substantial, characterful country home suited to buyers seeking space, privacy and flexible outbuilding potential. The approved planning and sizeable plot make it particularly attractive to purchasers who want immediate accommodation plus the opportunity to develop or extend on the same holding.
