Summary - THE MANOR FARM THE STREET WISSETT HALESWORTH IP19 0JH
5 bed 4 bath Detached
Spacious historic family home with pool, tennis court and large meadow grounds.
Grade II* listed 16th-century farmhouse with strong period features
Manor Farm is a substantial Grade II* listed Suffolk farmhouse occupying approximately 3 acres of gardens, meadow, orchard and leisure space. The main house retains strong period character—exposed timbers, mullion windows, inglenook and high-beamed drawing room—arranged as five bedrooms plus attic room, a large kitchen/dining hub, library, study and ground-floor bedroom with shower. Outside offers a linked thatched barn (re-ridged 2016), a separate timber Suffolk barn with 2002 planning for conversion, double cartlodge, heated swimming pool and tennis court.
This property will suit a family seeking rural space and heritage character, or a buyer with interest in running a lifestyle property. Practical features include mains water and electricity, modern private drainage, an oil-fired boiler for the main house, and an air-source heat pump dedicated to the pool. The extensive grounds include a meadow with a cut maze, mature trees and an orchard—excellent for outdoor living and entertaining.
There are important constraints to note. The house and barn are listed (Grade II* and Grade II respectively), which will affect alterations and may complicate conversion of the ancillary barn despite earlier planning permission. The EPC rating is E and the main heating is oil-fired; the property also has a modern private drainage system. Broadband is average and there is no mobile signal on site. Council tax is Band G and described as quite expensive.
In short, Manor Farm offers rare space, period charm and leisure facilities in a peaceful hamlet near Halesworth, but carries the responsibilities and restrictions that come with listed status and rural infrastructure limitations. Buyers seeking a character home with potential should factor in listed-building considerations and ongoing maintenance of period fabric and services.
