Ideal for the horse-loving, outdoors type that loves being tucked away discreetly, yet close enough to two lovely villages and short drive to Hadleigh, this four-bedroom former farmhouse has 7.5 acres to explore and expand, and is on the market with David Burr for £950,000.

Nestled at Evans Heath, between Polstead and Kersey, the grounds are currently divided into three post-and-rail bordered paddocks with a two-bay field shelter, treeline border to the front and side of the property with low level border to rear affording views across gently undulating farmland.

The Grade II listed detached farmhouse has a wealth of original timberwork and features within the generously proportioned reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room and separate bathroom and first-floor bedrooms with one en-suite and a shower room.

The property offers considerable scope for further development to incorporate annexe/ancillary accommodation, holiday cottage accommodation or independent storage units (subject to the necessary planning and listed consents) and has a

fledgling orchard is set to the rear of the designated paddocks with scope for further subdivision of the land if so required.

Arranged via three versatile reception rooms, the property is understood to have been previously granted planning permission (now lapsed) for a two-storey rear extension.

Offering an accommodation schedule of approximately 2,250 sq ft, four first-floor double bedrooms are complemented by en-suite facilities to the principal bedroom and substantial loft space offering scope for conversion if so required (subject to the necessary planning and listed consents).

Further benefits to the property include an extensive range of outbuildings offering scope for conversion into annexe/ancillary accommodation, stabling or further external stores in addition to post-and-rail bordered paddocks.
