Description

An impressive country residence offering private grounds, versatile multi-generational accommodation, and an established business opportunity

Situated at the end of a sweeping 300ft driveway, nestled amidst open farmland and mature landscaping, Newmans Hall is a distinguished country home in the charming village of Little Waldingfield. This substantial property extends to over 6,000 sq ft, featuring six bedrooms, six bathrooms, five reception rooms, a self-contained annexe, and an indoor heated swimming pool — all set within approximately three acres of landscaped gardens and paddocks.

Originally built in the 1960s and extensively remodelled in the late 1980s, Newmans Hall blends classic architectural elegance with spacious, adaptable interiors ideal for refined family living, entertaining on a grand scale, or operating a lifestyle business.

The Main Residence
Entering through the formal pillared portico, you are welcomed into a reception hall complete with cloakroom, pantry, and bespoke storage solutions. The home flows seamlessly through a series of elegant reception rooms including a formal drawing room with feature fireplace and direct garden access, a generous dining room, an elegant study, and a garden room flooded with natural light from skylights and floor-to-ceiling glazing overlooking the patio and grounds.

The kitchen/breakfast room is a cosy, practical space fitted with an Aga and custom cabinetry, offering views across the gardens and direct access to the dining room. A second study and a spacious boot room provide further family-friendly functionality, with internal access to the double garage.

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

First Floor Accommodation
The principal staircase leads to four generous double bedrooms, each with private or en-suite bathrooms. The principal suite enjoys a walk-through dressing room, en-suite bathroom, and access to a secondary landing. Each bedroom has been designed to maximise privacy and space.

The Annexe
Ideal for extended family, guests or staff, the self-contained annexe is accessible both internally and externally. It comprises its own kitchen, snug, study hall, double bedroom with en-suite bathroom, and an impressive triple-aspect living room, offering complete independence.

Grounds and Garaging
Set within approximately three acres of gardens and paddocks, the grounds are predominantly laid to lawn and complemented by mature trees and established planting. The long driveway provides ample parking, alongside two double garages, both equipped with electric doors, lighting, and power.
