Formerly the estate's home farm and without doubt its oldest property, the Farmhouse sits in the heart of the hamlet within the estate’s Arcadian pleasure grounds. Downstairs, the central triple-height hall opens up to a beamed sitting room with comfy sofas, inglenook fireplace and fluffy throws as well as the large kitchen & dining room.
Here, cooks can indulge their passion with a professional range, central island, wine fridge and butler sink and guests can dine in front of another inglenook. Two of the six en suite bedrooms are the on the ground floor and the rest are discovered up an oak staircase with its bridge across the hall.
All feature king-size Hypnos beds, toasty underfloor heating and wide views across the estate. Bathrooms are a mix of luxurious freestanding roll-top baths or powerful showers. Outside, enjoy BBQs on the private terrace, explore the estate on Pashley bicycles or hold your own tournament on the nearby tennis court open year-round. Try your hand at paddle boarding or rowing on the serpentine lake, or practice your shot with world-class clay instructors. The Reserve is nestled in 5,000 acres across three river valleys in the county boasting some of the cleanest air in England, yet just a short drive from Suffolk’s celebrated heritage coast. Here, discover one of England’s finest piers at Southwold, enjoy famous fish & chips in Aldeburgh or make your own gin at the Adnams Brewery. For the adventurous, take to the waves in a rib from Southwold with Coastal Challenger, or visit Go Ape, Suffolk’s biggest tree top adventure. In the beautiful fir trees of Thetford Forest discover your inner jungle explorer by climbing rope ladders, swinging through the trees and hurtling down zip wires.
Suffolk county is renowned for its pretty pink houses and our Farmhouse is no exception — though not painted in the traditional 'Suffolk Pink' (a mix of pig or ox blood and whitewash) method! One of our favourites on the hamlet, the artfully restored interiors makes use of the original beamed walls and ceilings. We love sitting outside on the terrace and taking in the views across the park and down to the lake.
