Description:

With a true farming heritage White House Farm has developed into an exclusive Private gated development comprising just five properties. This, the splendid original timber framed farmhouse, in grounds of around two thirds of an acre, provides much character along with four bedrooms, a choice of reception rooms plus an Aga kitchen.

Location

From Langton Green the town centre can be easily reached by foot enabling access to the many and varied facilities on offer. Whether young or old the town has something for everyone including a comprehensive range of shops, primary and high schools, health centre and bus routes. Positioned centrally within Norfolk & Suffolk the principal towns of Ipswich, Norwich & Bury St Edmunds are all within a similar distance of around 20 miles. Equally, the busy market town of Diss is around 5 miles distant providing, amongst other things, a mainline rail station with service to London Liverpool Street in around 90 minutes, making the area popular and convenient for commuters. White House Farm is well placed to the edge of the town with the network of rural footpaths surrounding Eye close by leading directly to open countryside - a haven for walkers and dog owners alike.

The town itself is essentially self sufficient offering an excellent range of shops and services along with schools at Primary, High and Sixth Form level. Furthermore, a number of cultural activities take place throughout the year including open air theatre, Classical Concerts and an Art Exhibition. Particular landmarks include the castle ruins and fine parish church described by Niklaus Pevsner as 'one of the wonders of Suffolk'.

Description

White House Farm is classic timber framed building with rendered, colour washed elevations set beneath a clay pantile roof. The property underwent an extensive programme of modernisation and improvement works by a combination of the two previous owners with the current owners subsequently creating an exceptionally comfortable and stylish home. The individual and therefore flexible layout of the interior provides two lovely sized reception rooms along with a social Aga kitchen with large laundry room adjoining and surprisingly, a cellar providing an indoors workshop space presently. Two staircases create a Master Bedroom suite complete with large en suite bathroom along with three further bedrooms, all double in size, making use of a sumptuously appointed second bathroom featuring a notable marble surround washbasin. Many of the timbers are exposed throughout along with a range of fascinating early boarded and Georgian doors. Furthermore open inglenook fireplaces create added character and appeal. Windows are double glazed and an oil fired boiler supplies domestic hot water and radiators throughout.
