4 bedroom detached house for sale

Estimated to have origins dating back to the late 15th or early 16th Century with a later ‘high status’ cross-wing, built to demonstrate the affluence of the owner, Melford Park Farm is a lovely example of our historic vernacular architecture. Displaying a host of attractive features including moulded timbers, mullion windows and historic pargeting, and having been in the same ownership for the last fifty years, the house whilst possibly a little bit dated in places, has a most welcoming and ‘honest’ ambience. Offering three generous reception rooms, large farmhouse kitchen, boot room, utility, walk in farmhouse pantry with cellar area below, four bedrooms and family bathroom, the farmhouse stands centrally in mature gardens of approximately one acre with a large pond (horse-pool), generous timber double garage including workshop and further outbuildings. Not being listed, Melford Park Farm provides further scope for possible extension and the beauty of the location will ensure that you would never make the property too good for the position it enjoys.

Outside
Historically, the track leading to Melford Park Farm would have been an ancient lane between the villages of Bridge Street/Alpheton and Cockfield. Tucked down a farm track and surrounded by meadows and open countryside, the position of Melford Park Farm affords the occupants a wonderful degree of privacy and seclusion.

Location

Once on the main road, convenient access is afforded to the market towns of Bury St Edmunds and Sudbury, together with the nearby historic villages of Lavenham & Long Melford which provide an excellent range of everyday schooling, shopping, recreational and cultural facilities.
