Enjoying a rural setting, surrounded by arable farmland in the heart of ‘Constable Country', A Designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Wasses Farm is a handsome and elegantly presented Grade II Listed farmhouse, understood to date from Tudor times with 18th century external features, offering light, well laid out and beautifully appointed accommodation. From an enclosed courtyard garden, the front door opens to a reception hall with a utility/ boot room and double doors to an elegant drawing room.

To the right of the hall, double doors open to an atmospheric sitting room and study, leading to a well-proportioned dining room with exposed timbers, open fireplace and bay window. To the left is an impressive, triple aspect fully fitted bespoke kitchen, with adjoining breakfast room, which has been added by the present vendors, with French doors and a stable door to the rear garden.

kitchen the middle barn annexe includes a multi-purpose function room/sitting room with a guest bedroom and en suite shower room beyond.
