Description
Causeway Farm comprises an imposing five bedroom 18th Century former farmhouse offering over 3,000 sq.ft (278 sqm) of accommodation, that now requires an extensive programme of refurbishment.  This unlisted property occupies a delightful rural position, just to the north-west of the centre of the village and with views across the surrounding grazing and marshland.  

The sale is on behalf of Suffolk County Council and formed part of a tenanted farm.  During their occupation the tenant utilised part of the property as a Montessori School/Nursery hence the layout of some of the rooms to the rear of the building. 

Causeway Farm has been altered and extended over the years but still retains much of its Victorian charm and offers a wonderful opportunity for an incoming purchaser to breathe new life into this well positioned former farmhouse.  

A generous entrance hall connects with the well-proportioned sitting room and dining room, that both benefit from feature fireplaces and sash windows overlooking the front drive and garden.  An inner hall leads through to the rear of the property where there is the spacious 18’ x 14’ kitchen/breakfast room that overlooks the surrounding grazing land to the west, together with the 24’ x 15’ former Montessori school room and WCs.  There is also a useful shower room.  

On the first floor there is a galleried style landing together with two double bedrooms that are of similar proportion to the reception rooms on the ground floor and which also overlook the front drive.   To the rear of the building there are two further double bedrooms, a single bedroom, a box room and a large bathroom.  There is also an attic room that provides useful storage. 
 
Outside
Causeway Farm benefits from its own independent access at Point A on the indicative plan included within these particulars.  This consists of a concrete driveway which continues in a clockwise direction to Point B.  Prospective purchasers should note that no right of access will be granted over the concrete roadway adjoining the southern boundary that leads to the adjacent agricultural buildings.   

The sweeping driveway leads from The Causeway to a parking area beside the property.  Beside the property, to the east, is a semi-enclosed courtyard, that borders the adjacent range of former agricultural outbuildings.  The majority of the gardens and grounds are to the west of the property, and are laid to grass.  In all, the gardens and grounds extend to 1.29 acres (0.52 Ha).

Prospective purchasers should note that Suffolk County Council will be investigating the development potential of the adjacent range of agricultural buildings, which they are retaining, during the forthcoming months.

Prospective purchasers should also note that Suffolk County Council are proposing that a new public footpath be created along the southern boundary of Causeway Farm as per the indicative site plan included within these particulars, shaded blue.  This is currently being considered by the Rights of Way team.
