An exceptional Grade II listed period home set directly on Hartest’s picture‑perfect village green. The house provides about 2,100 sqft of flexible living space, including two beamed reception rooms with a log burner, a generous kitchen/breakfast room with pantry, and a light, bespoke garden room that opens to an attractively planted rear garden split by a small brook and charming footbridge.
The vaulted principal bedroom with a modern en‑suite and three further bedrooms (two with mezzanine landings) suit a family or those seeking countryside space and character. Practical ground‑floor utility, cloakroom and cellar add useful storage. Fast broadband (up to 1,000 Mbps) is available — useful for remote working — while the village offers a primary school, pub and community amenities nearby.
Notable constraints are material: the property’s Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance or insurance. There is no designated off‑street parking (easy on‑street parking for around three cars) and mobile phone signal is reported as poor to none. Flood risk is recorded as medium — prospective buyers should check current local authority and insurance guidance.
Overall, this is a rare, characterful family home in a highly desirable Suffolk village for buyers who value original features, garden privacy and a central green outlook, and who are comfortable managing a listed property’s responsibilities.
