Description

An historic Suffolk farmstead in a tranquil edge of village setting, with fine views, and set within 6.7 acres.

Listed Grade II and dating from the early 17th Century, The Chestnuts is a classic timber framed Suffolk farmhouse complete with its original barns and outbuildings. The house sits well within its 6.7 acre curtilage which includes a good balance of formal and open gardens, meadows and a parkland paddock. A heated swimming pool and tennis court, together with stables, workshop and barns, all combine to create a very complete country property.

The house itself displays many fine timbers and offers two principal reception rooms and a study/snug, together with a traditional AGA farmhouse kitchen with service rooms beyond. There are four bedrooms and a bathroom and en suite shower room on the first floor, with a double attic room above.

THE BARNS

The Chestnuts has retained its original range of timber framed barns, which have been refurbished to provide flexibility of use to suit the needs of a purchaser. One has been formalised and is currently used as an office/games room. There are secure equipment stores and stables, a large multi-purpose barn, together with open fronted cart lodge garages, all of which are arranged around a service yard. Beyond is a sheltered heated swimming pool and a more modern insulated workshop barn.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS

Five bar gates access twin driveways which sweep to the front of the house with a third entrance running to the side of the house to access the barns. The formal gardens blend into more open grounds and there are numerous trees and an attractive pond, together with a productive fruit cage and kitchen garden. Beyond is a hard tennis court and summer house. There is a 3 acre parkland paddock to the east enclosed by post and rail fencing with two magnificent oak trees. The acreage is completed with an orchard and wildflower meadows and in all the property extends to 6.7 acres.
