Spacious country home with extensive gardens and annexe.
Six-bedroom former rectory with five en-suite rooms
The Old Rectory is a spacious, characterful former rectory set beside the village church on the Suffolk–Essex border. Substantially remodelled in recent years, the house combines original Georgian proportions, high ceilings and sash windows with high-spec finishes including a bespoke Lavenham Joinery kitchen, orangery and extensive underfloor heating served by a ground-source heat pump.
Accommodation is arranged over four storeys and includes four principal reception rooms, five en‑suite bedrooms plus a generous detached one‑bed annexe — ideal for guests or staff. Cellars, a cold store and an exceptionally productive walled garden with greenhouse provide strong lifestyle and practical benefits for gardeners and food producers. The plot is about 1.7 acres, partly moated, with terraces, formal rose beds and scope to create garaging (perpetual planning permission in place).
This property will suit buyers seeking a high-quality country home with privacy and character — a “lock up and leave” commuter base with easy road access to Sudbury and beyond. Important practical points: the house is Listed (which may limit alterations and add consent requirements), the property uses private drainage (biodisc) and council tax is in a high band. Services listed in the description have not been independently tested and prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves by inspection and professional survey.
