Summary - Feoffee Farm, The Green, Ashbocking, IPSWICH IP6 9JX
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Grade II listed farmhouse on c.2.5 acres with stables, moat and extensive outbuildings.
Grade II listed farmhouse with extensive period features
Feoffee Farm is a Grade II listed former farmhouse believed to pre-date 1432, set in around 2.5 acres with stables, paddock and a range of outbuildings. The house offers abundant period character — exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and traditional features — arranged over approximately 2,150 sq ft with four double bedrooms and three reception rooms. The kitchen/dining room includes a gravity-fed AGA, and the principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite.
The grounds are a standout: formal lawns, mature trees, an enclosed paddock of about 1.5 acres, a moat with bridge, double cartlodge, greenhouse and substantial outbuildings including three stables, barn/tack room and a former piggery. There is ample parking and hardstanding suitable for horse boxes and trailers, making the plot attractive for equestrian use or smallholding.
Practical considerations are significant. The property’s listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance or modernisation. Heating is oil-fired, drainage is via a private sewage treatment plant and broadband speeds are slow — important for anyone needing reliable high-speed connectivity. Council tax is costly and the house’s age means upkeep and specialist repairs should be expected.
This home will suit buyers seeking a characterful rural family house with equestrian potential, or those wanting a substantial period property to maintain and personalise. It provides a rare combination of history, space and usable outbuildings, but purchasers should budget for conservation-led maintenance and potential connectivity or services upgrades.
