The Grade II-listed property in Rougham, known as the Battlies House, is being marketed by Strutt & Parker, who said the home “perfectly incorporates period architectural features with all the modern amenities ideal for 21st century family life”.

The “handsome” main building and coach house together contain six bedrooms and five bathrooms, with the 7.37-acre grounds also containing a swimming pool and tennis court.

A dedicated cinema room complete with tiered seating can be found at the rear of the house.

The estate agents describe the coach house as being ideal for multi-generational families or for guests as it contains its own kitchen and living area.
