Description

Offered to the market with a clear motivation to secure a timely sale, Newmans Hall represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial 7500+ sq ft country estate set within approximately 5 acres at outstanding value per square foot.
Approached via a sweeping 300-foot driveway in the picturesque village of Little Waldingfield, this expansive property is priced to reflect immediate potential and invite decisive interest.

The Main Residence
The home delivers immense volume throughout its extensive footprint. A grand pillared portico opens into a generous central reception hall, leading to five versatile reception rooms including a spacious formal drawing room with feature fireplace, a large dining room, private study, and a sunlit garden room overlooking the terrace.
The ground floor is further complemented by a large family kitchen/breakfast room with Aga, a dedicated ground-floor guest suite with dressing room and shower room, a practical boot room, and an internal study.

First Floor Accommodation & Annexe
The first floor hosts four well-proportioned double bedrooms, each benefiting from private or en-suite bath facilities. The principal suite features a generous walk-through dressing area, an en-suite bathroom, and private secondary landing access.
Adding significant versatility, the self-contained annexe features its own independent entrance, full kitchen, snug, study hall, en-suite double bedroom, and a bright triple-aspect living room offering immediate multi-generational living or rental income potential.

Leisure Wing & 5-Acre Grounds
An impressive leisure complex houses a 29-foot heated indoor swimming pool, vaulted skylit roof, adjoining conservatory, and sliding doors to the gardens.
Outside, the property sits privately within 5 acres of grounds bordered by open farmland, featuring extensive parking and two detached double garages with power, lighting, and electric doors.

An Unmissable Opportunity
Whether continued as a lifestyle hospitality business (having traded successfully as a Bed & Breakfast for over 20 years) or reimagined as an expansive private family compound, Newmans Hall is competitively positioned for buyers seeking maximum scale, land, and rural seclusion.
