Summary - GATE FARM HOUSE, STOWMARKET, GIPPING IP14 4PT
6 bed 3 bath Detached
Six-bedroom period home with large gardens and studio above garage.
Grade II listed former farmhouse on about an acre (stms)
Gate Farm House is a spacious Grade II listed former farmhouse set in about an acre of mature grounds, offering generous rooms and classic period character for a large or multi-generation family. The house provides three reception rooms, a farmhouse-style kitchen, utility and ground-floor cloakroom, with six first-floor bedrooms plus family bathroom and ensuite. Detached double garage has a studio/workspace above, useful for home working or a hobby room.
The property sits in a peaceful hamlet setting with attractive rural views and attractive garden maturity. Room sizes and natural light are strong selling points, making this a comfortable family base with scope to modernise and personalise throughout. Broadband is fast and local crime levels are very low — practical benefits for everyday life.
Buyers should note the listed status will restrict alterations and could complicate modernisation. Construction is traditional timber frame with no assumed insulation; glazing was upgraded before 2002 and the EPC is D. Heating is by oil-fired boiler and radiators (private supply), and council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors mean some energy-efficiency and maintenance work may be needed.
Overall this is a rare opportunity to own a sizeable, character-filled country house on a substantial plot. It will particularly suit families or those seeking a rural retreat prepared to manage listed-property constraints and invest in sympathetic updating.
