Flowton Hall, Flowton, Ipswich, IP8 4LH

The Property Flowton Hall is an imposing early Victorian home that sits alone in a picturesque valley in mid-Suffolk.

Much of the property has been carefully renovated over recent years with care having been taken to retain and compliment the house’s period; features of note include stone floors, exposed wood floors, high ceilings, cornicing, original doors, dwarf cupboards, arched sash windows, decorative fireplaces and original balustrades.

Specific improvements made to the property during our client’s ownership include the replacement of virtually all the windows (most with modern sash units) and the conversion of the single-story side addition from stables into a laundry room and study – this section of the property was also re-roofed.

Log burners have been fitted in the sitting room and the snug, and the kitchen has been fitted with a new oil-fired Aga.

Grounds Flowton Hall enjoys total privacy within grounds which measure 2.92 acres with the house, annexes and the parking and turning square being located at the end of a sweeping 100-meter private drive.

The grounds are very well kempt and include numerous trees, a productive fruit orchard, a kitchen garden with a greenhouse and fruit cage, a south facing patio and a pond.

A half-acre meadow sits to the rear of the cottages and is screened from the main house.

Holiday cottages A pair of two-bedroom single story cottages sit within the grounds, both of which are located far enough from the main house to enjoy independence.

These have been run as a successful Airbnb business over recent years but could be let on a more formal basis or used as accommodation for relatives or weekend guests.

Internal photographs of the cottages have not been included in these sales details, but further information can be found on Airbnb by searching for “Flowton Hall Cottage” and “Flowton Hall Studio”.

Outbuildings Two storerooms, a workshop and a large double garage are attached to the holiday cottage complex.

These are in excellent order and combine to measure around 1850 square foot and have a range of uses and potential uses subject to planning.
