Lovetofts Farm is a delightfully positioned Grade II Listed farm house dating to the 16th Century with alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries and more recently the addition of a superb Aga kitchen/breakfast room in the heart of the house with under floor heating. Six bedrooms, three bathrooms, four reception rooms, spacious kitchen/breakfast room, study, utility and cloakroom. Integral self-contained one bedroom annexe.

The grounds include mature gardens, orchards, pond, woodland, two large meadows, riding arena and numerous outbuildings, a large grain store barn and stunning traditional 17th century Suffolk barn. Heated swimming pool and hard tennis court footings (requiring some renovation).

Light filled accommodation
The light-filled accommodation includes an adjoining ground floor annexe which also benefits from an existing planning permission to fully insulate the external walls and restore the original pitched roof. There are numerous internal features throughout the house including panelled doors, stripped oak flooring, inglenook fireplaces with wood burners, exposed timbers, cornice work and woodblock flooring. There are 17th century plaster cornices, fleurs-de-lys and other emblems. The delightful reception rooms are south west facing looking out to the gardens. The impressive kitchen has a comprehensive range of base and wall mounted units and a four oven Aga (electric night storage model). There is a wonderful ceiling lantern and bi-fold doors from the kitchen opening out to the garden and orchard.

Outside
A sweeping driveway leads round to the front door, past brick and tiled grade II listed outbuildings.. There are south-west facing gardens to the side of the house with established trees, terraced seating areas, and a delightful small summerhouse. Heated swimming pool (in need of renovation) and footing for a hard tennis court. To the rear, further outbuildings, splendid 17th century oak beamed Suffolk barn, now stables but with potential for conversion as further living accommodation, office or studio.

Land
The land includes a paddock of approximately 4.3 acres (a bridle path runs along the side of the field, well screened from the house) and at the far end of this field is a woodland plantation of approximately 0.4 acre. There is a further established woodland belt of approximately 1.88 acres which backs on to a further field of 3.98 acres which has a wood chip riding arena to one corner, giving onto open farmland.
