Summary - Barningham Park, Barningham IP31 1EA
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious period home with private grounds and conversion potential.
Grade II listed Georgian house, approximately 3,800 sq ft
A rare Grade II listed Georgian country house set in about 1.8 acres, Barningham Park Farm offers 3,800 sq ft of traditionally proportioned accommodation and long, uninterrupted views across Suffolk farmland. The double-fronted façade, high ceilings, sash windows and multiple reception rooms create a formal, characterful home for family living and entertaining. The layout includes five bedrooms, an en suite, three reception rooms, study and a substantial loft with potential for conversion (subject to listed building consent).
Practical features include a flint-built garage, several outbuildings and a gravel driveway approached via a private road and gated entrance. Services are a mix of historic and modern: estate borehole water (shared; a one-third liability passes with the sale), private septic tank, secondary glazing and a combination of oil-fired and electric heating (air source heat pump noted). The property is offered chain free and has scope for sympathetic updating and enhancement where permitted by its listed status.
Important constraints are upfront: the house is Grade II listed, so alterations will need listed-building consent and the listing may complicate modernisation. Some outbuildings show structural defects and the title will need splitting at HM Land Registry. Broadband is very slow and mobile signal limited in places. There are also restrictive covenants and a council tax band described as quite expensive — factor these into any renovation or running-cost considerations.
For families or buyers seeking a substantial period home with privacy and land, this is an opportunity to own an historic estate property with generous garden, scope for sensitive improvement and immediate countryside access. Professional surveys and early consultation with West Suffolk planning and conservation officers are advised before committing to any works.
