The Woodlands
The Woodlands is a substantial Grade II Listed detached farmhouse, the origins of which are understood to date back to the mid 17th Century.
The property has been in the ownership of the same family since the 1910s when it was acquired as part of a surrounding farm. An imposing L shaped property offering in excess of 3,000sqft of accommodation, it is predominantly of traditional timber frame construction with rendered elevations under a peg tiled roof.
Parts of the property have been disused for in excess of 50 years for other than storage purposes, and the residential areas of the property have had little amendment for the last 20 years. The ground floor accommodation includes two large reception rooms, together with a rear hall, pantry and bathroom with wc off which leads off an old fashioned kitchen, beyond which is a further hallway and three ground floor storerooms.
On the first floor there are five large double bedrooms together with an additional room which remains unused.
Outside
The approach to the property is via a brick built bridge over a brook which forms the frontage to the property. There is a gravelled parking and turning area to the front of the property, and the roadside boundary and the western boundary are both well screened by established trees.
The overall plot extends to approximately 2 acres, with the residue of formal gardens predominantly to the front and side of the house, and with a collection of out buildings to the rear, which includes a traditional timber framed farm barn with attached stable block.
The northern portion of the plot which is known as the old stackyard is largely overgrown, but includes the remains of two farm buildings, and also the concreted base of some former grain silos.
Location
The house has frontage onto Finningham Road, being positioned approximately half a mile east of the centre of the village of Walsham le Willows, and is bordered at the side and rear by open farmland.
Walsham le Willows is one of the most sought after villages in the area, with a main street dominated by established period properties, and has a fine local church.
The village is regarded as well served, having an award winning butcher, well known local builders merchants, public houses, well regarded primary school, and an active and well supported sports club.
The village is approximately 2 miles south of the A143, with nearby towns including Bury St Edmunds which is approximately 11 miles to the south west and Diss which is approximately 9 miles to the north east. A mainline commuter rail service to London Liverpool Street is available from Diss.
Services
Mains water and electricity. Private drainage. There is partial central heating, which is served from a Stanley range style cooker in the kitchen, with radiators predominantly on the ground floor.
Local Authority
Mid Suffolk District Council - Council Tax Band F.
Tenure

Viewing
By appointment with the sole agents Lacy Scott & Knight LLP.

Follow the road for approximately 2.5 miles into Walsham le Willows, carry on through the main village street and The Woodlands will be found towards the western edge of the village on the left hand side approximately half a mile from the village centre.
