Situated in an enviable setting down a no-through lane and surrounded by farmland in one of Suffolk's highest points, Appleacre Farmhouse is a beautifully appointed house extending to approximately 4,500sq-ft, originally built as a Deer Park 'viewing pavilion' with the original timber-frame dating back to the 16th-century with a circa 18th-century Georgian red brick frontage.

The living space is arranged over three floors and offers versatile and elegant living accommodation, complemented by the bright open spaces and large sash windows, painted floorboards, generous ceiling height and original open fireplaces.

The interior very much reflects the character of the home, with a tasteful colour palette and an effortlessly gracious 'feel' - the ground floor comprising entrance lobby leading to a large reception hall with wide painted staircase and space for a writing desk or seating area. To the west is a formal dining room with inglenook fireplace and views over the gardens, connecting to a drawing room with wood-burning stove and window overlooking the gardens.

The snug is an attractive, informal room, with open fire, exposed timbers and floorboards, which opens perfectly into the Aga kitchen, which enjoys a double aspect, traditionally fitted with Belfast sink, pamment floors and painted timbers, neighbouring a useful boot room/scullery.

On the first floor is a large landing area, with exposed timbers and chimney breast, a master bedroom with fabulous views over the gardens leading over to open countryside, an attractive fireplace and good level of wardrobe space.

There are three further large double bedrooms on the first floor, enjoying views of surrounding fields, served by a beautifully fitted bathroom.

On the second floor are 3 further double bedrooms, with a versatile use and arrangement, served by a spacious shower room.

Integral to the farmhouse is a self-contained annexe to the west, with an area identified as its own parking and garden, with a living area with fitted kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom all at ground-floor level. There is an interconnecting door to the principal house, and can simply form part of the main living accommodation if required.

The property has a significant collection of barns/outbuildings which extend to almost 4,000sq-ft, creating a large courtyard/parking area, and currently being used as a specialist car workshop, with a two-storey height barn, garaging for 7 cars as well as further storage and a first-floor store, which would make a perfect studio or office.

Appleacre Farmhouse is set back in a private and peaceful setting, accessed along a farm track, via a farmyard, surrounded by fields, and undoubtedly free from noise or light pollution.

The established grounds are thoughtfully landscaped and form a further important feature, with formal south-facing gardens with mature flower beds, spinney, an enclosed kitchen garden with raised beds and potting shed, as well as an east-facing courtyard with feature pond which adjoins the kitchen.

Behind the outbuildings to the north is a post-and-railed meadow which extends to around 3.5 acres of grazing as well as an enclosed pond providing a haven for wildlife.
