Dove House is a substantial 4-bedroom detached home set within c.4 acres in the heart of Horham. Built in 2013 to a high specification, the house offers well-proportioned living with an impressive open-plan kitchen/dining/living space, bifold doors to the garden, underfloor heating to the ground floor and generous first-floor bedrooms including an en-suite principal. The property sits quietly in a hamlet setting with established formal gardens, four paddocks and broad countryside views.
A major practical benefit is the extensive outbuildings: a large cart lodge with double bays and single garage, and a second cart lodge of about 1,000 sq ft already fitted with a shower room and easily convertible to annexe accommodation. The vendors installed 32 solar panels (two systems) in 2015; the combined income for June 2024–June 2025 was £1,799, offsetting running costs. The plot and outbuildings make this house particularly well suited to equestrian use or buyers seeking private rural space.
Buyers should note a few material points: heating runs on LPG rather than mains gas, the EPC is currently rated D and council tax is band F (relatively high running cost). Broadband speeds are slow locally and the title includes restrictive covenants; these are material matters that prospective purchasers should investigate. Despite modern build quality and good insulation, there remains scope for further development — original plans allowed a second-floor addition and the cart lodge annexe offers immediate expansion potential.
Overall this is a rare opportunity to buy a modern, versatile family home on a very large private plot in a quiet Suffolk village. It will particularly appeal to families wanting space, buyers with equestrian interests and purchasers seeking a convertible outbuilding and renewable income stream from solar panels.
