Waltham Hall, Little Stonham IP14

A landmark Suffolk residence of exceptional character and elegance!

Set amidst picturesque countryside in the heart of mid-Suffolk, Waltham Hall is an outstanding Grade II listed country house offering refined period charm, extensive accommodation and beautifully tended grounds extending to around two acres. With origins in the 17th century and distinguished Victorian additions, the property presents a rare blend of architectural heritage and comfortable contemporary living.

Approached via a private gravel driveway and framed by mature gardens, Waltham Hall exudes presence and tranquillity from the moment you arrive. The interior unfolds across well over 5,000 sq ft (excluding the lofts) of versatile living space, thoughtfully arranged to balance grand reception areas with warm, inviting family rooms.

The current owners love the fact that the property has a really lovely flow - it works incredibly well as a family house, with flexibility and space, and enormous amounts of storage.

A welcoming reception hall with beautiful Minton tiled floor leads to a trio of elegant living spaces, each showcasing the character of the house—rich timber beams, original brick floors, tall sash windows and handsome fireplaces. The formal drawing room and sitting room offer superb settings for entertaining, while the family room and kitchen/breakfast room provide the relaxed ease required for modern living.

The huge dining room has a wonderful herringbone floor and is a great space to enjoy a meal with family and friends in front of the fire and along with the kitchen forms the heart of this home. The kitchen is fitted with bespoke cabinetry and opens onto informal dining space, creating a natural hub for day-to-day life. Ancillary rooms, including utility and cloakroom facilities, ensure excellent practicality.

The upper floors offer six generous double bedrooms, many enjoying garden views and en-suite or adjoining bathrooms. Character features abound, yet the rooms feel bright, comfortable and adaptable—ideal for family use, guest accommodation or home-working.

The self-contained annex is perfect for visitors and has the flexibility to offer longer-term/holiday let potential or just a great space for your family to grow into.

Exceptional Gardens and Grounds.

The grounds are a particular highlight of Waltham Hall and are approximately 1.9acres(sts). Beautifully established lawns sweep around the house, punctuated by a large pond that was once part of the moat and a haven for an abundance of wildlife such as herons, owls, egrets, deer, hedgehogs. The plot is encircled by mature trees, and the garden laid out with areas of herbaceous borders and flexible secluded seating areas.

A south-facing courtyard, perfect for summer evening drinks, vegetable beds and sunlit terraces create a wonderfully varied and private outdoor environment. A double garage, ample parking and useful outbuilding space complete the setting.
