About this property

  • Abbey Farm is an historic site which in recent decades has been the centre of a farming operation working across east Suffolk. It comprises a large range of traditional and more modern agricultural buildings which have been in varying degrees of agricultural use until now.

    To the western side of the site nearest the Church is a linear complex of early 17th century red brick buildings most recently used as cattle sheds. They keep their original roof structures but now have concrete floors.

    Also at the western edge of the site is a collection of late 15th century timber framed barns, one being the only surviving building from the former priory. The barns have concrete floors throughout and various 19th century alterations.

    Towards the southern end of the site is a range of red brick buildings, some which have been re-roofed and converted into loose boxes.

    On the south eastern side of the site is a large, concrete framed building with block infill and a concrete floor previously used for grain and machinery storage.

    The site benefits from its own access directly from the public highway and fine views out across open farm and meadowland towards Easton.

    The site has mains single and 3 phase electricity. The water supply is a private supply which is shared with other properties and a new supply will therefore need to be installed. The Vendor will work with the Purchaser to ensure the provision of this supply within a reasonable timeframe.

Local information

  • The barns at Abbey Farm are situated almost equidistant between Lehteringham, Hoo and Easton in one of the most desirable parts of Suffolk. On a quiet lane, they enjoy the most peaceful location adjacent to the rarely used parish church.
  • The popular towns of Woodbridge and Framlingham lie close to the south and north respectively whilst Aldeburgh, one of the most popular towns on the heritage Suffolk coast can be reached in less than 20 minutes.
