Spring Farm:
Set within 7.5 acres in the heart of the Dedham Vale, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Spring Farm is a substantial country home offering remarkable potential. This rare property combines scale, versatility, and a wealth of outbuildings, making it the perfect foundation for creating a forever home in one of Suffolk’s most desirable settings.
While the house requires sympathetic renovation, its generous proportions, elegant layout, and wealth of character provide an inspiring blank canvas. With extensive reception space, seven bedrooms, and a wide range of outbuildings, this is a property designed for multigenerational living, equestrian pursuits, or a lifestyle smallholding.
The Ground Floor:
The ground floor accommodation is both expansive and versatile, offering a variety of formal and informal living spaces. The entrance hall sets the tone, leading to a large dining room ideally suited for entertaining on a grand scale. Adjoining this is a well-proportioned study, perfect as a home office or library.
A superb billiard room and a bright conservatory add further character and charm, while the spacious drawing room provides the ideal family gathering space with direct garden access. The kitchen is accompanied by a breakfast room, creating a more relaxed everyday living environment, complemented by a separate utility and cloakroom for practicality.
At the far end of the house lies an impressive reception room, offering direct access to the gardens and lending itself to a variety of uses – whether as a family room, studio, or formal entertaining space. Together, these rooms provide a wealth of possibilities, making the ground floor layout flexible enough to accommodate modern lifestyles while retaining traditional proportions. There is also a lift installed in the current dining room, leading to the master bedroom.
The First Floor:
Upstairs, the accommodation is arranged across two landings, enhancing the property’s versatility. From the main landing, you will find a selection of well-proportioned bedrooms and bathrooms, ideal for family use. To the right-hand side of the house, the second landing provides access to further bedrooms, one of which currently incorporates a kitchenette. This area could serve perfectly as a self-contained annexe, offering independence for extended family members or guests while remaining connected to the main residence.
A significant feature of Spring Farm is its extensive outbuildings. These include a traditional barn, multiple stables, and various stores, offering superb scope for equestrian use or smallholding activities. In addition, the barn benefits from Class Q planning permission, opening the door to a residential conversion and further enhancing the property’s redevelopment potential. Together, these buildings provide outstanding flexibility for those seeking ancillary accommodation, leisure facilities, or business use (subject to consents). The acreage includes paddocks and open grounds, perfectly suited to outdoor pursuits and country living.
