5 bed detached house for sale

Wyverstone, Stowmarket, Suffolk IP14

The Old Plough is a superbly presented Grade II Listed farmhouse believed to date back to the 16th Century. This timber framed and plastered home is situated in quiet, rural location and backs on to open countryside.

The Old Plough is exactly the type of property buyers are increasingly searching for, a character home with land, privacy and versatility, offering the perfect balance between lifestyle and practicality. Whether you are looking for a house with acreage, a smallholding, space for animals or multi-generational living, this is a rare opportunity to secure all of the above in one cohesive setting.

The house itself is full of character, with exposed timbers, quarry tile flooring and a warm, welcoming feel throughout. The kitchen/breakfast room forms the natural hub of the home, designed for everyday living and informal entertaining, while the adjoining sitting/dining room provides a generous space for family gatherings. A separate living room offers a more relaxed retreat, and a dedicated study is ideal for those working from home.

On the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms, each enjoying a pleasant outlook over the surrounding countryside, served by a family bathroom.

A particularly attractive feature is the self-contained annexe, providing independent accommodation with its own sitting/dining room, kitchen, bedroom and shower room. This space is perfectly suited for extended family, guest accommodation, holiday letting or those seeking a property with income potential as the annexe has been successfully run as a holiday let for 10 years.

Outside, the property is approached via a gravel driveway leading to a traditional courtyard with a range of outbuildings including a garage, barn and useful stores - ideal for buyers looking for workshops, storage or scope for further use.

The grounds extend to approximately two acres, combining formal gardens with pasture land. This makes the property especially appealing to those searching for a house with land for horses, a smallholding, or simply space to enjoy outdoor living in a private and unspoilt setting.

The surrounding countryside is quintessential Suffolk, open, tranquil and beautifully rural, yet the property remains well placed for access to nearby villages and amenities, making it practical as well as picturesque.

In essence, The Old Plough offers what so many buyers are actively seeking but rarely find: A period home with land, an annexe, outbuildings and genuine lifestyle appeal, all within a single, well-balanced property.
