An imposing Grade II listed farmhouse set in about 1.5 acres of mature gardens and paddock. New Farm offers more than 4,500 sq ft of flexible period accommodation, including multiple reception rooms, an existing annexe wing and large attic areas with conversion potential (subject to consents). Its character features exposed beams, substantial fireplaces and generous room proportions that will suit a family seeking a country home with space for guests, home working and hobbies.
The property requires updating and renovation throughout despite being well cared for by the current owners; buyers should factor in works and listed‑building constraints. Heating is by oil and drainage is to a private Klargester system. As a Grade II listed, alterations will need specialist consent and can restrict some modernisation options.
Practical benefits include a carriage driveway, twin garage, open cart lodge and a timber outbuilding currently used as an office/games room with a room above. The plot is private and picturesque, fronting part of a medieval moat and sitting within attractive Suffolk countryside, yet the mainline station at Stowmarket is only around 10 minutes away by car, providing a viable commuting link to London.
A recent building survey has been commissioned by the vendor and will be made available to serious purchasers (cost reimbursed to the vendor on sale). This transparency helps buyers assess the scope and cost of required works before committing. Overall, the house will particularly appeal to buyers who want a sizeable period home with character and grounds and who are prepared to invest in sensitive updating and listed‑building management.
