Location
When buying a house, the location is one of the key issues and there are few which would beat Great Green, Thrandeston. This is a largely untouched area unspoilt by modernisation, but is at the same time very accessible; both the A140 and A143 are within easy reach giving swift routes to Norwich, Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds and the A11 corridor. For those hankering after the sea, the Heritage Coastline around Southwold, Aldeburgh and Walberswick is only 45 minutes or so by car. The commuter (or just an avid London shopper) is catered for with a mainline railway station at Diss just 4 miles away, with regular trains to Liverpool Street in just 90 minutes or so.
The Property
Abbey Farm is Listed as Grade II indicating a property of architectural or historical importance. Noted as being from the early 16th century, it is clearly apparent the reason for the listing, from the elegant chimneys (a sign of wealth and flamboyance), the leaded windows, exposed timbering, some of which is very closely spaced, the inglenook fireplaces, right through to the period doors and door furniture, this house is quite a gem. Unlike some timbered houses, Abbey Farm is both bright and quite lofty. All the rooms are quite generous in size and proportion and from every window there are good views across the garden or attractive Suffolk countryside.
Outside
The house is set back from the country lane, well within its grounds, with the long gravelled drive giving a lovely approach, cutting through mature trees, ponds and small fenced paddocks up to the house, wrapping around a beautiful flower bed. The circular gravel drive is set within a walled and railed area with numerous climbers and herbaceous plants. There is additional parking to the side and areas of lawn, ponds, mature trees, well stocked flowerbeds and a small 2 storey granary barn 17'6 x 12'6 ; something for everyone really.
Overall the property is set within 0.693ha (1.71ac)
Services: Mains water and electricity are connected to the property. Private drainage. Oil fired central heating providing heating to radiators and domestic hot water.

Flood Risk
Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
