Description

Newmans Hall, Little Waldingfield, Sudbury
A grand country residence with private grounds, flexible multi-generational living, and an established business opportunity

Set at the end of an elegant 300ft driveway and surrounded by open farmland and mature landscaping, Newmans Hall is a distinguished country home in the picturesque village of Little Waldingfield. This substantial and beautifully enhanced residence offers over 6,000 sq ft of exceptional living space, with six bedrooms, six bathrooms, five reception rooms, a self-contained annexe, and an indoor heated swimming pool—all set within approximately 3 acres of grounds.

Originally constructed in the 1960s and extensively extended and remodelled in the late 1980s, the property now presents a striking blend of classic architectural proportions with expansive, versatile interiors ideal for refined family living, entertaining at scale, or running a lifestyle business.

The Main Residence
Through the formal pillared entrance, you are welcomed into a reception hall with cloakroom, pantry, and bespoke storage. From here, the home gracefully flows through a series of well-appointed reception rooms: a formal drawing room with feature fireplace and garden access, a spacious dining room, an elegant study, and a garden room bathed in natural light via skylights and floor-to-ceiling glazing overlooking the patio and grounds.

The kitchen/breakfast room is a homely space, fitted with an Aga and bespoke cabinetry, with direct access to the dining room and views across the gardens. A second study and a generous boot room provide functional family living, with internal access to the double garage.

A ground floor bedroom suite—complete with dressing room and adjacent shower room—offers the potential for single-level living or guest accommodation. The inner hallway leads through to the Pool House, featuring a 29ft heated indoor pool, skylights, sliding doors to the garden, and a conservatory beyond.

The Annexe
Perfect for extended family, guests or staff, the annexe is accessed both internally and externally, and offers independent living with its own kitchen, snug, study hall, double bedroom with en-suite, and an impressive triple-aspect living room.

First Floor Accommodation
The main staircase leads to four double bedrooms, each with access to private or en-suite bathrooms. The principal suite includes a walk-through dressing area, bathroom, and direct access to the second landing. Each bedroom has been thoughtfully arranged to offer privacy and generous proportions.

Grounds and Garaging
Set within 3 acres of gardens and paddocks, the grounds are predominantly laid to lawn with mature trees and established planting. A sweeping drive leads to ample parking, in addition to two double garages — each fitted with electric doors, lighting, and power.

The Business – A Thriving Bed & Breakfast
For over two decades, Newmans Hall has operated as a highly regarded Bed & Breakfast, with consistently strong occupancy and exceptional reviews. The "Blue Room", "Twin Room", and "Front Room" are guest-ready, each with private bathrooms and access to the pool and gardens. The business is marketed through Eviivo Suite and other major platforms, boasting over 250 reviews with an average 8.8/10 rating.

A unique opportunity exists for the incoming purchaser to continue the successful business or repurpose the accommodation as desired.
