A farm in Snape, near Aldeburgh, with a farmhouse, two holiday lets, commercial and agricultural buildings and a touring caravan site, is on the market at a guide price of £1.6 million.
Croft Farm is set in a standalone position in the picturesque parish of Snape, just one and a half miles from Snape Maltings.
Selling agent Clarke & Simpson said: “Croft Farm offers an exciting business opportunity in a particularly special part of east Suffolk.”
The farmhouse is a period building of brick and timber construction under a slate roof.
On the ground floor, a south-facing veranda has doors to the sitting room and dining room, as well as the front door, which opens onto the hallway.

The hallway, which has pamment and brick tile flooring, includes stairs to the first floor and cellar, doors to the sitting room and dining room, and an opening to the inner hallway.
In the dining room, there’s a fireplace with a tiled surround and hatch to the kitchen. The sitting room includes a fireplace with timber surround, which is flanked on both sides by built-in cupboards.
The inner hallway leads to the kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, study and shower room.
The kitchen is a blend of the old and new, with a modern range of units, integrated fridge and dishwasher, freestanding double electric oven with Halogen hob and extractor fan, as well as a block fireplace with a former oven to one side and an exposed brick wall. A door leads to the rear garden.
The adjacent utility room includes more units and space and plumbing for a washing machine.
In the study, there’s a fitted cupboard.
The shower room includes a shower unit, WC, basin and tiled flooring.
Upstairs, on the first floor, there’s a landing area, with doors leading to all five bedrooms and the family bathroom, with roll-top bath, WC and basin.
The master bedroom has built-in wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom, with bath, shower, WC and basin with cupboard underneath.
Two further double bedrooms have built-in wardrobes. The other two bedrooms are singles, and one has a fitted airing cupboard with shelving.
Adjacent to the farmhouse is The Granary, a three-bedroom holiday let with a kitchen/dining room, sitting room, utility room, bathroom and shower room.
Next to this is The Forge, which has an open-plan kitchen/sitting/dining room, ground-floor shower room and first-floor double bedroom.
Adjoining this is a red brick Suffolk barn, which offers scope for a range of uses.
There’s a range of other outbuildings on the farm, including stables, cartlodges and stores. Beyond the domestic buildings are agricultural/commercial units, some of which are let on an informal basis.

To the front of the property, there's a caravan site with space for five touring caravans.
Planning permission has been granted for a site for 20 more touring caravans, plus a toilet and shower block, on land to the east of the buildings.
Croft Farm has about 19.5 acres of land in total, including a meadow which would be ideal for horses. Part of the land is let to a farmer for arable use.
The farm is less than a mile from the centre of the village of Snape, which is home to two pubs – The Golden Key and The Crown.
Snape Maltings, with its concert hall, retail complex and Plough & Sail Inn, is within one and a half miles of the farm.
There are some scenic walks in the area, along the river to Aldeburgh and Iken, as well as in the nearby forest.
Aldeburgh is just five miles away and has a number of shops and restaurants. Saxmundham, which is three miles away, has shops, supermarkets and a railway station.
