IP12 4SB
4 bed 2 bath Equestrian Facility
Spacious four-bedroom house with more than five acres and paddocks.
Grade II listed 16th-century house with extensive period features
Creek Farm is a rare, characterful 16th-century house set in about 5.57 acres of gardens, paddocks and woodland with wide views over Martlesham Creek. The principal rooms are generous and light-filled, with exposed timbers, a sunroom opening to a south-facing terrace, and a principal bedroom enjoying creek and field views. The layout works well for family living and entertaining, with a useful study, dining hall, kitchen/breakfast room and cellar.
The grounds are a primary asset: fenced paddocks suitable for equestrian use, mature specimen trees, lawns designed by Notcutts and a three-bay cart lodge with extensive workshops and stores. A spacious studio offers genuine annexe or workspace potential, subject to the necessary listed-building and planning consents. Off-street parking and a garage add practical convenience for multiple vehicles.
Buyers should note material constraints alongside the strengths. The property is Grade II listed (dating from the 1600s), which protects historic fabric but will restrict alterations and may complicate works. The EPC rating is E, heating is oil-fired and drainage is private, so running costs and maintenance should be considered. Broadband speeds are very slow in this location, and council tax is described as quite expensive.
This house will suit a family or an owner-occupier seeking period character, space and rural views close to Woodbridge’s amenities and highly regarded schools. It also offers potential for those seeking an equestrian base or a small business/hobby workspace, provided consents for any change of use or conversion are obtained.
