Summary - CHERRY ORCHARD FARM THE FARMHOUSE STOKE ROAD LAYHAM IPSWICH IP7 5RB
4 bed 2 bath House
Secluded four-bedroom farmhouse with large garden and strong energy upgrades.
4 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms; planning permission for fifth bedroom above kitchen extension
This unlisted 16th-century farmhouse blends historic charm with recent comprehensive renovation, creating a comfortable family home in a quiet rural setting. Recent works include a new oil-fired heating system, roof overhaul, damp-proofing, improved insulation, new bathroom suites and a wood burner — most windows are double glazed.
Set on approximately 0.4 acres, the property features walled gardens, a large lawn, patio, numerous outbuildings and a converted timber cart lodge garage. Ten mature raised planters and a south-facing roof with 10 solar panels, battery storage and an EV charger add strong energy credentials and day-to-day convenience.
The house currently offers four bedrooms and two bathrooms, with planning permission (Feb 2022) to add a two-storey extension creating a larger kitchen/breakfast room and a fifth double bedroom above — useful for growing families or flexible home working space. Broadband speeds are fast and local schools and amenities in nearby Hadleigh are easily reached by car.
Practical points to note: the property uses private drainage and an oil-fired heating system (new but fuel-based). Council Tax is Band G, which is relatively expensive. The drive is part-shared with one neighbour and the home occupies a secluded hamlet location, which suits buyers seeking privacy rather than immediate urban convenience.
