Red House Farm in Harkstead near Ipswich on the market for £5m with tennis court and swimming pool
A five-bedroom residential farmhouse in Suffolk that has a swimming pool and a tennis court is now on the market.
Red House Farm, in Harkstead, near Ipswich, on the Shotley Peninsula, sits in about 105 hectares (260 acres) of highly productive farmland suitable for root cropping.
In the centre of the farm is Red House Farmhouse which was built in the Georgian era with later additions throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, before it was comprehensively renovated in 2019.
Sandwiched between the River Stour to the south and the River Orwell to the north, the property is now on sale with Savills with a guide price of £5,000,000.
Property agent William Hargreaves said: “Red House Farm really is a very special property and its sale represents something of a rarity - a farm for sale on the Shotley Peninsular.
“Offering amenity value as well as commercial opportunity, it is sure to appeal to a wide range of buyers.”
The property offers the opportunity to acquire a well-equipped farm an income producing converted farmyard and highly productive farmland suitable for root cropping occupied under a Farm Business Tenancy.
Constructed of red brick elevations under a newly tiled roof, Red House Farmhouse contains five bedrooms and five bathrooms, with timber sash windows throughout the property.
Outside, the gardens are predominantly laid to lawn with hedging together with flower beds looking over paddocks and open farmland.
Appealing amenities include a recently resurfaced tennis court, an enclosed outside pool with a very well serviced summer house and a maintained vegetable garden.
There is also a series of useful outbuildings and garages set around a gravelled parking area.
Located opposite Red House Farmhouse is a range of modern and traditional farm buildings which are no longer used for agricultural purposes and instead are mostly let on commercial terms to a range of tenants generating a useful income in excess of £20,000 per annum.
The land around the property has recently been cropped with potatoes, parsley, sugar beet, winter wheat and barley and is ideal for the growing of vegetable crops with cereals also featuring in the rotation.
Harkstead is home to a quaint church dating back to the 13th century, a charming pub, and a small array of shops and amenities, with a wonderful opportunity to experience the beauty of rural Suffolk.
