Summary - THE OLD GUILDHALL MILL STREET GISLINGHAM EYE IP23 8JT
5 bed 5 bath Detached
Spacious five-bedroom period house with mature gardens and village convenience.
Grade II* listed thatched home dating from the late 1400s
The Old Guildhall is a rare Grade II* listed thatched home dating from the late 1400s, set within about 0.39 acres of mature gardens. The property offers generous, character-filled rooms across three floors — five bedrooms each with en-suite facilities and three principal reception rooms with impressive inglenook fireplaces and exposed timbers. A detached garage and private parking complete the picture for a family seeking space and privacy in a well-served Suffolk village.
This house has been carefully maintained by the current owners; the thatch was partially renewed in 2011 and the exterior repainted more recently. The kitchen sits beside the dining room and could be opened into a larger family space subject to listed-building consents. Heating is gas-fired with mains drainage, and practical features include a garage with power and a separate utility area.
Prospective buyers should note material constraints that come with a Grade II* listing: alterations will require formal consent and listed status may make some modernisation more complex and costly. There are three trees within the boundaries protected by Tree Preservation Orders (Beech, Sycamore, Ash). Council Tax is Band G, reflecting higher running costs for a house of this size. Broadband and mobile signals are average due to the remoter village location.
For a family or buyer seeking a historic home with flexible accommodation and substantial gardens, this property offers a distinctive opportunity. Its central village position provides easy walking access to local amenities, a highly regarded primary school and links to nearby towns for wider services and rail connections.
