A Grade II listed farmhouse in Lawshall, near Bury St Edmunds, is up for sale for £1.5 million.
Hanningfields Farmhouse is a 16th to 17th century timber-frame and plaster detached property, which was refronted in the late 18th or early 19th century in yellow brick, incorporating sash windows and a Tuscan portico.
The six-bedroom farmhouse boasts a range of period features, including a central chimney stack with a 16th to 17th century hearth.
Today, the house offers substantial family accommodation – so much so that the rear wing is currently being used as a self-contained cottage.
The property, which has been in the current owner’s family for recent generations, has “fabulous potential for refurbishment” according to selling agent Carter Jonas.
On the ground floor of the main wing of the house, there’s a hallway leading to a lounge, dining room, kitchen with utility leading off it, office and WC.
In the rear wing, there’s a lounge, conservatory with views of the rear garden, kitchen, utility room and study.
On the first floor, there are four bedrooms, including a large principal bedroom, and a family bathroom in the main wing, with a further two bedrooms, bathroom and separate WC in the rear wing.

To the rear of the property, which is painted pink, there’s a garden with a large area of lawn and mature shrubs and trees.

There’s a range of former farm buildings situated to the south and east of the farmhouse, including a hipped roof clunch barn with two prominent east-facing gables.
The remaining buildings are of mixed construction and include modern barns, stables and a former single-storey poultry unit.
Hanningfields Farmhouse is situated in the village of Lawshall, which is home to a primary school, village hall and historic inn.
The village is just six miles from the further amenities of Bury St Edmunds and seven miles from the pretty villages of Long Melford and Lavenham.
