Summary - Mill Lane, Thorpe Abbotts IP21 4HZ
5 bed 3 bath Farm House
Spacious country home with income potential and expansive private grounds.
Private tree‑lined driveway and circa six acres of grounds
Approached down a private tree-lined drive, this substantial farmhouse sits within about six acres of formal garden, paddock, mature woodland and a large natural pond. The main house offers four generous bedrooms (formerly five) with a principal suite including dressing room and ensuite, plus classic farmhouse features such as exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace. A bespoke kitchen centred on a deep-blue AGA, pantry and Belfast sink blends character with practical storage.
A converted barn complex of three one‑bedroom units lies to the rear and is currently let to long-term tenants, providing an established rental income stream and immediate investment potential. Outbuildings include a triple cart lodge, workshop, greenhouse and further barns, giving scope for vehicle/storage, hobby or small‑scale agricultural uses. Discreet solar panels and one barn’s air‑source heating help reduce running costs.
Buyers should note the property’s scale brings ongoing maintenance and management responsibilities across buildings and land. Services include mains water and electricity, an on-site treatment plant, and heating described in particulars (references to oil-fired central heating and electric storage heaters appear in the details) — prospective purchasers should verify heating arrangements and running costs. The EPC is C. The location is rural and peaceful with average mobile signal but fast broadband and good road and rail links to Diss and Norwich.
This is a dual‑appeal opportunity: a family home with rural lifestyle, wildlife and excellent local schools nearby, or a purchaser seeking a mixed-use country property with immediate rental income and scope to evolve the outbuildings and grounds.
