Property Info
A substantial sixteenth-century Grade II listed timber-framed property positioned within the grounds of Higham Place in Suffolk, offering considerable charm and character through its verified historical provenance and a definitive T-plan architectural layout.
The later sixteenth-century primary structure features rendered elevations, an off-centre ridge stack, and two-light horizontal sash windows, while the single-storey rear cross wing is of seventeenth-century origin and incorporates a plain tiled roof with a secondary red brick gable stack.
Internally, the accommodation displays exposed timbers; jowled posts, deep chamfered beams, and exposed joists within the principal hall, alongside historical markers such as shutter grooves and diamond mullion mortices.
The first floor provides three double bedrooms accessed via a traditional winding staircase located behind the central stack, supported by cambered tie beams and a clasped purlin roof structure.
Ground floor reception spaces integrate original features with modern residential capability, including a sitting room featuring double French doors that provide direct external access.
The established formal gardens provide a picturesque transition into fifteen acres of privately owned parkland, with the future owner enjoying privileged access to these beautifully maintained grounds.
