DECEMBER 2024 RE-LAUNCH
Lower Farmhouse has been reissued for sale in December 2024. Please note the following:
1. Viewings will be by appointment only and will take place on Saturday 21st December 2024 from 9am. Please email or call Tom Bloomfield at Brooks Leney to book a viewing slot.
2. Best and final offers to be made in writing to Brooks Leney by 10th January 2025. No response to any offer will be provided before this date.
3. Upon acceptance of an offer, our client will require completion to take place with 28-days of receipt of the draft contract from our client' solicitor.
4. Offers which are subject to borrowing will not be considered.
THE PROPERTY
The property is offered for sale with significant modernisation and renovation required, but provides an opportunity for the successful buyer to create an imposing family home that takes full advantage of its excellent plot, orientation, and location. Subject to planning consents we also expect it would be suitable for extension to the rear.
The accommodation includes four first-floor bedrooms, two reception rooms built around a large chimney, a ground floor bathroom, and a kitchen. There are two separate staircases and front and rear hallways.
GROUNDS AND OUTBUILDINGS
The grounds allocated to the house total 1.64 acres (sts) and include a formal garden at the front which faces east, and a west facing rear garden. The remainder of the grounds are mainly meadowland, albeit with established boundary hedges and a number of trees, a pond and a dilapidated barn.
To the front, the house has its own single garage which is wide enough to be converted into a double sized garage if required (stp). This also has an attached shed/outhouse.
LOCATION
The property is one of four residential dwellings accessed from a privately owned, 700m track leading from the B1078. The house enjoys a peaceful setting (except for occasional air traffic activity from nearby Wattisham Air Base) and has a delightful outlook over farmland to the rear and over Barking Tye Common to the front. The common also provides excellent dog walking and play space for children.
Needham Market is just over three miles from the house, as is access to the A14 in both directions. Both Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds are around twenty minutes away by car.

What3Words location: ///caps.preoccupied.removers
POINTS TO NOTE
The property is accessed via a private road and the purchaser would be expected to contribute 25% of the maintenance and repair costs when required.
It is connected to mains water, electric and sewerage. Heating is provided by an oil-fired boiler (which has not been tested).
The house is registered in Council Tax band E with Babergh District Council and payments of £2450.98 PA. The house has not been EPC assessed due to its listing.
The property has broadband download speeds in the region of 5.0 Mbps (based on Offcom data) with Superfast upgrades available to 40 Mbps. Offcom expects mobile phone coverage to be available on all networks outside the property and limited mobile coverage inside the property, except on O2.
We understand that the neighbouring barns which are also owned by our client may be subject to an application for residential development in due course.
The proposed new Norwich to Tilbury Pylon route will run around 400m to the rear of farm house at its closest point.
The property will be subject to a number of restrictive covenants imposed by our client at the point of sale. These can be provided on request.
The boundaries shown on the site plan are subject to survey.
GENERAL ADVICE
Before booking a viewing of any Brooks Leney property, we suggest buyers view its full online details including the street-view representation, the site map, the satellite view and the floor plan. If you have any questions, please contact Brooks Leney. A PDF version of the floorplan is available on request. These sales details were produced in good faith and are believed to be correct.
