Description
A unique opportunity to acquire a substantial detached farm house in a wonderful rural location on the edge of the popular village of Flixton, Suffolk.

The house was formerly used as part of the county council farm and is in need of full internal refurbishment, but offers a fantastic chance for buyers to taylor this wonderful property to their own standards and add value.

The detached house has a pitched roof covered with clay pan tiles over block walls which are part painted and part rendered to the rear. It is understood that the property is not listed but does retain many of its original features. The substantial internal accommodation has latterly been configured to form a main house and adjoining cottage, but could easily be re-instated as a single dwelling or more formally separated to form a potential annexe.

The internal accommodation briefly comprises:

Main House
Ground Floor: Entrance Hall; 3 Reception rooms; Kitchen; Utility; Cloakroom. There are also 2 cellar rooms beneath the ground floor.

First Floor: Central Landing gives access to; 4 Bedrooms of which 2 are interconnecting; Family Bathroom with wc, wash hand basin, and bath.

Second Floor: There are 2 rooms in the roof with sloping ceilings which could provide further accommodation.

Cottage
Ground Floor: Kitchen; 2 Reception rooms; Bathroom and separate cloakroom.

First Floor: 2 Bedrooms.

As previously mentioned the main house and cottage all lie within the main envelope of the building and are interconnecting at first floor level. This gives buyers a wonderful opportunity to reconfigure this substantial envelope of the building to their own taste and layout.

The approximate gross internal area of the property (including both main house and cottage but excluding rooms in the roof) is 307m.
