Description

A rare opportunity to acquire a handsome and historic country home in an elevated position with panoramic views over unspoilt Suffolk countryside. West End House is a truly exceptional period home, offering approximately 3,300 sq ft of beautifully proportioned accommodation, set in 0.85 acres of mature grounds in the heart of the sought-after village of Higham. Positioned at the top of Upper Green, the property occupies an elevated setting with outstanding far-reaching views and easy access to Cambridge, Bury St Edmunds, Newmarket, and the A14.

West End House - Believed to have originally formed part of the Higham Estate, the property was historically two Victorian cottages—constructed from traditional flint and brick with decorative chimneys—later sympathetically combined to create a substantial and characterful country house. The home is not listed but lies within the village conservation area and is considered a building of local architectural importance due to its period charm and contribution to the historic streetscape. Coming to the market for the first time in over 35 years, West End House offers a rare combination of history, comfort, and lifestyle, and is a much-loved home that has been carefully maintained by the current owners.

Accommodation - The ground floor comprises a generous and welcoming entrance hall, a formal sitting room, study, office/playroom, and a separate utility and boot room. At the heart of the home is a spacious kitchen, living, and dining area—designed for both family life and entertaining, with views over the surrounding landscape.

Upstairs, the property provides five well-proportioned bedrooms, including a luxurious principal suite with dressing area and en suite bathroom and shower. A family bathroom and separate shower room serve the remaining bedrooms.

Outside - The house sits centrally within its plot, enjoying complete privacy and uninterrupted views over the open countryside. The mature gardens wrap around the property and offer a peaceful and natural backdrop to this unique home.

Location - Higham is a small, historic village surrounded by rolling Suffolk farmland, with a strong sense of community and superb access links—just a 5-minute drive to the A14 and 10 minutes to Kennet Station. The village is perfectly placed for those looking to enjoy rural living within easy reach of city and market town amenities.

In Summary - West End House is an extraordinary opportunity to acquire a substantial, historic home in one of the most picturesque corners of West Suffolk. With its origins in the 19th century, rich character, and breath-taking setting, it offers the ideal blend of heritage and comfort for modern country living.

Sales Agents Notes - The property is Flint and Brick construction and is located in Higham conservation area.
