Great Henny, Sudbury, Suffolk, CO10

Henny Farm is a detached country house of considerable character which is thought to date back to the 1930s and which has been constructed with various reclaimed period materials providing a real sense of warmth and charm.

The house itself contains accommodation over two levels which includes a sitting room, drawing room, study/snug, AGA Kitchen/dining/living room and a utility cloakroom. Upstairs are four bedrooms, the master with en-suite, a family bathroom and a fifth dressing room/occasional bedroom. Outside, formal gardens surround the property with open expanses of lawn and a lovely outlook over toward the Stour Valley. A gravel driveway provides extensive off-road parking and leads onto a double cartlodge.

Within the grounds is a self-contained studio annexe which has the potential to provide an income on either short or long-term letting. Of particular note are the exceptional equestrian facilities which include extensive paddocks, five loose bays, a high-quality manege, tack room and hay barn. Various other outbuildings including a large weatherboarded barn and tractor shed provide further storage.

Given the gradient of the land and the direction they face the property offers the potential for use as a vineyard subject to any necessary permissions.
