The White Hart is a substantial Grade II* timber‑framed house dating from the 15th century, recently refurbished and offering over 3,850 sq ft of characterful accommodation. It sits on about 0.3 acres with gardens and outbuildings, facing open green space and enjoying generous lawn, mature hedging and off‑street parking. Period features are intact throughout: exposed beams, high ceilings and a large open‑plan reception that previously served as the pub bar and overlooks the cricket ground.
Practical strengths include mains gas central heating, a wood burner with back boiler, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and very low local crime. A change of use from public house to residential was granted in December 2018 and modern single‑storey commercial additions remain to the rear; subject to planning and listed building consent these could be removed to extend the garden.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status will complicate alterations and any demolition of later additions requires listed building consent. There is a single shower room and one further bathroom serving six bedrooms, and some original timber walls are assumed to lack insulation. Council Tax is Band G, so running costs will be higher than average.
This house will suit buyers seeking historic character, flexible large family accommodation, or a conversion project that respects heritage constraints. The prominent town‑edge location provides village amenities and easy links to Ipswich and Colchester by rail within a short drive.
