Best & Final Offers (1pm on Tuesday 3rd August 2021) Wall Farmhouse, Harkstead Road, Holbrook, Ipswich, IP9 2RQ.

We invite you to make an offer (subject to contract) for the property and the portion of adjoining land, if it is of interest to you. For the sake of clarity, I set out the process as follows:

1 – Name: please confirm your name and address and contact information.

2 – Offer: please confirm the offer in £ Sterling (which should not be quantifiable by reference to any other offer).

3 – Property/Land: please confirm if your offer relates to just the house or the house with the land, or if you would consider both options please make this clear and indicate the amount you are offering for both options. (i.e. House on its own at £x amount, Whole thing £x amount, and would consider either) see plan for more information.

4 – Solicitor – if possible please confirm which solicitor you would instruct. Alternatively, we can provide you with recommendations.

5 - Bank and funding – FULL PROCEED-ABLE BUYERS ONLY. Your offer MUST come with full proof of funds attached; be that either your agent and chain details which we can verify, proof of cash funds being used, proof of mortgage ability and contact numbers to verify these sources.

6 – Timing of the sale: The property is currently tenanted and therefore timing will be subject to the current tenancy/agreement we have with the tenant. Bearing the situation with the tenant, we will propose a timeframe once an offer is agreed though due to the nature of the sale you will need to be ready to proceed, as we would usually require you to do so, though this may differ under these circumstances subject to the tenancy. Ordinarily we would aim for an exchange of contracts within 28 days after receipt of draft contract by the purchaser’s solicitor when a minimum of 10% of the purchase price is paid. Completion of the sale shall occur on a mutually agreeable date, (though ordinarily no later than 14 days after exchange of contracts) when the balance of the purchase price is paid and vacant possession is given.

We look forward to receiving your offer on a best and final basis by 1pm on Tuesday 3rd August 2021. The offer must be emailed to sharnie.rogers@struttandparker.com or delivered in a sealed envelope to our Wherstead Park office clearly marked ‘Wall Farmhouse Offer’ to the attention of Sharnie Rogers. We shall discuss with the owner over the following days and hope that a decision will be made soon after.

Should you wish to speak to us in the meantime, please refer any questions to Sharnie Rogers on 01473 220433 or sharnie.rogers@struttandparker.com.

This traditional detached farmhouse offers flexible family accommodation with beautiful gardens and grounds, sitting elevated above the surrounding countryside.

The bright, welcoming hallway gives access to a family room, sitting room, study and dining room which, in turn, flows into the kitchen and utility space. The family room, with its fireplace and French doors leading to the garden, affords spectacular river views. This room is light and sizeable and opens up, with wooden bi-fold doors, to the sitting room making this an incredibly spacious open-plan room with a panoramic river vista. The study, convenient for those working from home, also has a fireplace and outstanding dual aspect country views with a garden door to the wisteria-framed terrace. The dining room, with space for a family dining table, offers a fireplace and hearth, adding to the character and charm. Adjoining the dining room and utility is the kitchen and there is also a separate external cloakroom. On the first floor, there are 5 bedrooms, many with in-built storage, a family bathroom and separate cloakroom. The principal bedroom and 2 further bedrooms enjoy commanding river views.

In all about 0.68 of an acre. A further 5 acre paddock is available by separate negotiation and could be subject to an overage or covernant.

A large garden, paved terrace, vegetable garden, mature trees and spectacular views across Suffolk countryside and river beyond, make the outdoors here really something special.
