From the agent: "This incredible, Grade II–listed, timber-framed Suffolk farmhouse is believed to mainly date from around 1592. The house, which is found in one half of the original farmhouse, has been lovingly restored by the current owners during their years of guardianship. To the rear is its own private garden and two handsome outbuildings, which have planning permission to convert into separate holiday accommodations. Well located in the pretty village of Yoxford, the house is a stone’s throw from the coast and the celebrated towns of Aldeburgh and Southwold."

A newly constructed wooden fence lines the yard to provide plenty of privacy.
