This Grade II listed mid-17th century house has been beautifully restored to retain striking period character while offering comfortable family living. The layout includes two generous reception rooms with exposed timbers and inglenook fireplaces, a recently refitted, light-filled kitchen, four bedrooms plus attic rooms that offer scope for additional accommodation. The house sits in an attractive, large plot with a south-facing rear garden, paved terrace and a natural pond.
A detached outbuilding combines a single garage, a large former office and two storerooms; it offers genuine potential for annexe or guest accommodation subject to the necessary consents. The property is set in a well-served Mid-Suffolk village with a good primary school, excellent nearby secondary schooling and convenient road links (A14) and rail services from Diss and Stowmarket to London.
Practical points to note: the home’s listed status will restrict alterations and require listed-building consent for many changes. Broadband and mobile signal are average, and while the house has been restored, the age of the building means ongoing maintenance and sensitive repair will be needed to preserve historic fabric. Overall this is a charming, characterful family home with further potential for those prepared to work within listed-building constraints.
