A three-bedroom character property updated to look like a castle has come up for sale in a Suffolk village for £435,000.

Old Castle House on Swan Street in Boxford is Grade II listed and considered one of the village’s most notable buildings.

It is believed to date from the 16th century, although its ‘castellated’ façade – which creates the illusion of battlements to the front – was added much later and is Victorian in design.

Selling agents Chapman Stickels say that the main part of the building was originally a medieval hall house. As a result, it still boasts a number of distinctive period features, including several exposed walls and moulded ceiling timbers, many of which are located in the reception rooms to the front.

Beyond the rear lobby and adjoining shower room is a good-sized kitchen/breakfast room, which is fitted on all four walls with numerous cupboards and integrated appliances including an oil-fired Esse range cooker.

Attached to the rear of the house is a substantial two-storey outhouse, which could be incorporated into the main house and offers scope for conversion.

Beyond this, there is a walled garden with a shingle path leading to a seating area flanked by established flower and shrub borders.
