Description - Wingfield House offers a rare chance to own one of Suffolk’s historic listed homes — a fifteenth-century oak-framed town house, painstakingly restored to award-winning standards. Believed to be Saxmundham’s oldest surviving dwelling, this remarkable Grade II listed property was saved from collapse and is now a shining
example of sensitive conservation, blending authentic period detail with warmth, character and generous proportions.

Throughout the house there are a wealth of original timbers on show along with original fireplaces and good ceiling heights. The property also now benefits from mains fired gas central heating with refurbished Victorian radiators on the ground floor and heated towel rails in bathrooms along with tv aerial sockets in each bedroom.
