Summary - HAMBLYN HOUSE THE STREET RICKINGHALL DISS IP22 1BN
6 bed 5 bath Detached
Substantial period home with orchard, parking and versatile accommodation near good schools.
Grade II* timber‑framed house dating from 1650 with later extensions
Hamblyn House is a rare Grade II* timber-framed home occupying a very large plot in Rickinghall. The mid-17th century core, later extensions and recent renovation combine strong historic character with modern comforts such as an air‑source heating system, secondary glazing and an EV charging point. With six bedrooms and multiple reception rooms across generous floorspace, the house suits a large family or a small guest‑house operation.
Interior features include four en‑suite bath/shower rooms, a cellar, and a series of atmospheric rooms with exposed beams, Tudor fireplaces and wood‑burning stoves. A newly built cart lodge provides covered parking for two cars and there is additional off‑street space; a rear terrace, two‑tiered garden, orchard and vegetable plot add private outdoor space that catches the afternoon sun.
Buyers should note this property’s listed status (Grade II*) will impose restrictions and likely complicate alterations and maintenance. Council tax is described as quite expensive and, as with any historic building, ongoing specialist upkeep should be expected despite recent upgrades. The house offers clear potential for family living, holiday rentals or a Bed & Breakfast, but any change of use or significant work will need consent.
