A Legacy of Living. Steeped in history and beautifully positioned within the heart of the village, Breckland House is an exceptional Grade II Listed, 5-bedroom residence dating back to the 16th century. This distinguished timber-framed home offers approximately 4,000 sq.ft. of character-filled accommodation, seamlessly blending centuries of heritage with carefully considered modern enhancements in a central village location.

Surrounded by exquisitely landscaped gardens of approximately one acre (subject to survey), the property forms part of a small cluster of distinguished period homes, including Willow Farm, Mulberry Farm and Oak Farm, each reflecting the area's rich architectural heritage. Historically, the house is thought to have been of notable status, associated with the neighbouring farmstead, with land once owned and cultivated by the monks of nearby Bury St Edmunds Abbey. The grazing land to the front, with its frontage onto Ashfield Road, was originally the village green, enhancing the sense of history and openness that defines this unique setting. The accommodation is both generous and versatile, beautifully blending period charm with thoughtful modern improvements.

The property lies within easy reach of the well-served village of Elmswell, with its range of local amenities, as well as nearby market towns. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the setting and lifestyle on offer.

The village benefits from a railway station on the Ipswich to Ely line, along with excellent access to the A14, making it well connected for both commuting and leisure. Rich in history, Elmswell is referenced in the Domesday Book of 1086, its name derived from the Old English elm and wella, meaning a spring or stream where elm trees grow. Among its notable landmarks is the impressive St John the Divine Church, dating back to the 14th century, alongside the iconic Elmswell Windmill, a rare surviving example from the early 19th century. Today, Elmswell offers a welcoming and vibrant community, with a range of local shops, pubs and amenities, as well as regular events such as the annual Elmswell Show.
