Description
ABOUT THIS HOUSE
Moor Hall is a 16th century Suffolk manor house, its Sudbury yellow exterior sitting within 5.5 acres of exceptional gardens.
At its heart lies a timber frame dating from around 1550. Over time, the house has been adapted with care. Georgian influences brought balance and proportion, while later additions introduced architectural detail, including the oculus stairwell and music room.
Today, the house extends to over 8,000 sq ft, with six generous bedroom suites arranged across a series of well-proportioned reception rooms. The kitchen, designed by Mark Wilkinson in solid maple, sits at the centre of the house, both practical and quietly elegant.
In recent years, Moor Hall has been meticulously restored by a team of local craftsmen. The focus has been as much on how the house performs as how it looks, with comprehensive upgrades to infrastructure ensuring it is efficient and practical to run, without compromising its character.
Beyond the house, a separate leisure complex includes a 12 metre indoor swimming pool, alongside sauna, steam room and gym.
The gardens are as considered as the house itself. Formal areas give way to open lawns, woodland and water. Mature specimen trees, some attributed to Humphry Repton, remain as quiet markers of the past, while lakes and streams bring movement and light.
It is a house that has been carefully brought forward, ready for the next chapter.
ABOUT THIS AREA
Tucked away behind established walls and mature hedging, Moor Hall enjoys a rare sense of privacy on the borders of Suffolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire. Beyond the gates, the landscape opens into gently undulating countryside, where long walks unfurl along the River Stour, reached directly from the garden. Landmarks such as Kentwell Halland Clare Castle ruins lend a quiet historical depth, while the Suffolk coastline, including Aldeburgh, lies within comfortable reach for day trips.
Despite its seclusion, daily life is effortlessly supported. The nearby market towns of Sudbury, Bury St Edmunds and Saffron Walden each provide a Waitrose alongside a mix of independent shops, cafés and essential services, while the village itself offers a well-regarded pub and everyday amenities.
Schooling is a particular strength, with Stoke College within walking distance and Linton Village College nearby, complemented by highly regarded state and independent options across the region.
Connections are excellent. London Stansted Airport is easily reached, while trains from Audley End railway station and Whittlesford Parkway railway station run into London. Addenbrooke’s Hospital is close by, and golf is well served at Clare Park Lake Golf Course and Haverhill Golf Club.
