House For Sale £1,000,000
A 16th-century, Grade 2 listed, 4-bedroom Suffolk long house steeped in history and set in 1.4 acres currently laid out as a wildlife garden, veg and flower beds, ponds and terraces with uninterrupted views of open countryside to the rear which have protected view status.
The property includes a barn of architectural merit built in 1610. Together with Victorian additions, this barn complex has planning permission for a 4-bedroom house, one wing of which has been converted into a 1-bedroom cottage and has operated for a decade as a holiday let, drawing in £12k gross income annually. A separate cart lodge has recently been given planning permission for a garden building of 50sq metres.
Though in the heart of the village, the house is set back from the road providing an idyllic rural location. Thorndon is a thriving village of c.500 residents with an excellent pub, primary school and 60 acres of “set aside” fields for dog walking. It is 3 miles from the small town of Eye which has an outstanding high school, library and charming shops and cafes. Diss station with a mainline 90-minute train journey to Liverpool Street is a 20-minute drive away. As it stands, this fine Suffolk farmhouse is a characterful family home with a separate holiday let and abundant storage, or a clear opportunity for further investment and development.
Tenure: Freehold
Council Tax: F
