Description
THE PROJECT
Shorts Farmhouse is a full restoration project opportunity. The current vendor has undertaken significant preparation works to reveal much of the original structure, which shows thick brick walls of good integrity, fine original inglenook fireplaces, together with original cellars. These works have included a recent rewiring of the property with a new underground supply.
The project allows for the creation of an elegant residence facing to the south, enjoying views over its garden and unspoiled rolling countryside beyond.
THE PROPERTY
Shorts Farmhouse is listed Grade II and understood to have medieval origins, with the western cross wing believed to date from the mid-15th Century.
The house was significantly enlarged in brick during the Elizabethan period using limestone blocks, Tudor bricks and other building materials, thought to have been salvaged from local religious ruins, including the nearby Blythburgh Priory, following its demolition during the dissolution of the monasteries. Evidence of which can be clearly seen in the thick walls now exposed internally.
The accommodation, extending to some 4,017 sq ft, currently offers three principal reception rooms with supporting service rooms to the rear and four first floor bedrooms and four attic rooms above.
OUTSIDE
The property is sheltered by neighbouring hedgerow and tree belts, with an area of rear garden suitable for the erection of a cart lodge (subject to planning), whilst to the front is a wide, south facing, lawned garden with a productive orchard plantation. In all the property extends to about half an acre.
LOCATION (IP19 9AA)
The property enjoys a tucked away rural setting surrounded by picturesque countryside on the edge of Bramfield. The nearby village has a local butchers, garage and store, together with the well reputed dining pub ‘The Queens Head’, and lies just 3 miles south of Halesworth, which provides a range of shopping and commercial facilities. The A12 and Darsham station (with regular branch line rail services to Saxmundham, Woodbridge and Ipswich) is just 4 miles to the east, beyond which is the stunning Suffolk Heritage Coast. The property benefits from access to an extensive network of permissive field margin paths through the surrounding farmland.
