17th century Hill Farm House in Hitcham near Stowmarket on the market for £2.25m with tennis court, pool and paddocks

A Suffolk country house with an all weather tennis court, outdoor heated swimming pool and paddocks is now on the market.

Hill Farm House in Hitcham, near Stowmarket, boasts a spot in up to 14.7 acres of land as well as six bedrooms and four bath or shower rooms.

The property is now on sale with Jackson-Stops with a guide price of £2,250,000.

Two originally separate buildings were joined and extended to create Hill Farm House that has an accommodation of over 6000 sq ft.

The family home is believed to date back to around the 17th century and with the Georgian style frontage, sits within its grounds behind an in/out coach drive.

Much of the character for that period remains and has been enhanced with sash windows, internal shutters, open fireplaces with log burning stoves and charming exposed timbers in parts.

The Greco Roman pillared porch gives access through part glazed double doors into the reception hall, with a Georgian style sweeping staircase leading up to a galleried landing with vaulted ceiling and roof light above and steps lead down to a three chambered cellar below.

A farmhouse style kitchen with a stable door and windows leads out to the patio terrace and side garden with a spacious breakfast table area, high mantle shelved open inglenook fireplace and a fitted kitchen.

There are four reception rooms in the property and the master and guest bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms.

The gardens are a highlight of the house as they are well landscaped and arranged with a mix of brick wall and hedge divisions.

Additionally, there is an all weather tennis court and a hedge screened pool area measuring approximately 10 x 5 meters.

Hill Farm House has views over the Suffolk countryside and is situated on the outskirts of the village.
