Summary - TOWER END HOUSE YARMOUTH ROAD MELTON WOODBRIDGE IP12 1QE
7 bed 4 bath Character Property
Prestigious Grade II Victorian home with two income-generating annexes and extensive gardens.
Grade II listed Victorian house with original period features
Tower End House is a distinguished Grade II listed Victorian residence set on a very large plot in Melton. The main house offers generous period rooms with high ceilings, exposed beams, original fireplaces and a lookout with far-reaching views. The property includes a beautifully converted coach house (Tower End Cottage) and a separate two-bedroom annexe, creating flexible multi-generational living or reliable income potential.
The coach house currently operates as a successful holiday let, producing circa £24,000 per annum, while the annexe benefits from a Certificate of Lawful Use. Both outbuildings sit within private, mature gardens including paved terraces, lawns, fruit trees and an insulated studio with power. Ample off-street parking is provided via a shared gravel driveway.
Important considerations: the house’s Grade II listed status preserves historic features but will restrict alterations and may increase maintenance costs. Broadband speeds are reported as slow, and council tax for the main house sits above average. Prospective buyers should factor in listed-building consent requirements and ongoing upkeep for a property of this age and scale.
This property suits buyers seeking a character-rich family home with separate dwellings for guests or rental income, and those prepared to manage heritage maintenance. Its village setting offers easy access to local amenities, good schools and countryside tranquillity while still being within reach of larger towns.
