Grade II listed farmhouse with annexe, modern & traditional outbuildings - situated on the edge of a quiet village. About 14 acres
Description
Lovetofts Farm is a delightfully positioned Grade II Listed farmhouse, offering a glorious sense of rural privacy and seclusion yet with easy access to major transport routes. Dating to the 16th Century with alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries and more recently the addition of a superb large Aga kitchen/breakfast room in the heart of the house, with under floor heating. Six bedrooms, three bathrooms, four reception rooms, room, study, utility and cloakroom. Integral self-contained one bedroom annexe. The grounds include mature gardens, orchards, pond, woodland, two large meadows, riding arena and numerous outbuildings, a large grain store barn and stunning traditional 17th century Suffolk barn. Raised oval swimming pool (requiring some renovation) and hard tennis court footings currently used as additional parking space for events. About 14 acres, including equestrian facilities.
A sweeping driveway leads round to the front door, past a delightful pond with mature weeping willows, and brick and tiled stores/outbuildings. There are south-west facing gardens to the side of the house with established trees, terraced areas, large greenhouse and a small summerhouse close to the swimming pool area. Beyond are further outbuildings, including the splendid 17th century Suffolk barn, now stables but with potential for conversion.
About 14 acres
Location
Situated in the rural village of Flowton and backing on to open countryside the property combines a distinctly rural feel with excellent connectivity. There are many walks direct from the property through pretty undulating countryside and scattered woodland in an area of natural beauty. Manningtree station in undulating nearby Constable country provides regular and frequent intercity train services to London Liverpool Street in 55 minutes. Flowton’s neighbouring villages of Somersham and Bramford support the quiet life with every day shopping facilities and local country pubs, while a much wider range of shopping and leisure facilities are found in Ipswich, Bury-St Edmunds, Colchester and the lovely market town of Hadleigh. Leisure facilities in the area include sailing and fishing on the rivers Orwell and Stour, and golf at the nearby courses of Stoke by Nayland, Hintlesham and Ipswich. Good access to excellent primary and secondary schools, both state and private.
