Summary - Mill Lane, Thorpe Abbotts IP21 4JA
5 bed 4 bath Farm House
Grade II listed 17th‑century farmhouse, full of original timbers and fireplaces
This Grade II listed 17th‑century farmhouse offers over 6,100 sq ft of beautifully preserved period character married to thoughtful modern upgrades. Exposed oak beams, inglenook fireplaces and vaulted ceilings provide dramatic living spaces while a bespoke Howdens kitchen, AEG appliances and an Iroko conservatory bring everyday convenience.
Set within about 1½ acres of formal and productive gardens, the plot suits keen gardeners and families who value privacy and outdoor living. The grounds include a walled vegetable garden, greenhouses, a natural pond, multiple garden “rooms” and comprehensive outbuildings including a double garage and insulated workshop.
The house adapts well to modern family life and home working: five double bedrooms, a luxurious principal suite with jacuzzi bath and walk‑in wardrobe, a large attic/games room and a dedicated office with built‑in furniture. Excellent mobile signal and reasonable road and rail links (Diss station nearby) add practical appeal for commuters.
Important considerations: the property’s Grade II listing restricts alterations and may complicate extensions or certain repairs. Heating is oil‑fired and council tax is described as quite expensive. Broadband speeds are average for a rural location, and historic fabric will require ongoing maintenance mindful of listed‑building requirements.
