7 bed 4 bath Farm House
Period farmhouse with barns, cottage and proven rental income over £30k pa — versatile family or investor opportunity.
Substantial period farmhouse with approx. 1 acre grounds and parking
A substantial period farmhouse set within just under an acre of gardens, grounds and parking, Street Farmhouse combines comfortable family living with proven income potential. The main house offers three reception rooms, a farmhouse kitchen, utility and garden room plus five bedrooms and three bathrooms, all described as high quality and well maintained. A well-appointed independent two‑bed cottage adjoins the property, ideal for multigenerational use or rental.
The courtyard contains two converted barns — one two‑storey unit with kitchen and WC, and a newly converted single‑storey barn — alongside a cartlodge with workshop and garage. The barns and paved courtyard provide flexible space and generate lettings income in excess of £30,000pa, making this a strong option for buyers seeking a home with business or investment potential. Ample parking allows numerous vehicles and easy access to the A14 for links to Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds and the A12.
Practical aspects are straightforward: freehold tenure, no flood risk, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Local schools rated Good are within reach and the property sits on the north‑western edge of Ipswich with countryside, pathways and bridleways nearby, blending town access with rural surroundings.
Buyers should note material local-context drawbacks: the immediate area records high crime and is identified as very deprived, which may affect resale, lettings profile and insurance. The setting is edge‑of‑town rather than fully rural; potential purchasers should view to assess how the location and neighbourhood context match their requirements.
