Summary - Church Farm Lodge, Hemley IP12 4QA
5 bed 5 bath Detached
Spacious, architect-designed family home with separate annexe and renewable energy systems.
Five bedrooms across main house and separate two-bedroom East Wing
Set within the peaceful hamlet of Hemley, this newly renovated mid-century conversion offers spacious, adaptable family living across more than 3,500 sq ft. The main house’s vaulted, timber-lined interiors and generous picture windows create a strong indoor–outdoor connection with mature gardens, terraces and wildlife-rich ponds. An adjoining two-bedroom East Wing, refurbished and previously let, provides independent accommodation or rental potential.
The property has been upgraded for low-carbon living with underfloor heating, an air-source heat pump and south-facing solar photovoltaic panels, reducing running costs and environmental impact. Interiors are finished with bespoke joinery and quality materials that honour the building’s agricultural origins while delivering contemporary comfort.
Set on a very large plot of roughly a third of an acre with gated driveway and several terraces, the house sits in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty close to the River Deben and local sailing amenities. Woodbridge and Ipswich are within easy driving distance for shops and train links to London (approximate 70-minute service from Ipswich), while local schools and country footpaths support family life.
Practical matters to note: the property is in a secluded rural location with very slow broadband speeds and average mobile signal. Council Tax Band D applies. These factors may matter for remote working or high-demand connectivity needs.
