A Victorian property with more than six acres of land near Saxmundham is on the market for £1.6million.

The Old Rectory in Middleton sits upon approximately 6.6 acres of land and gardens.

The property, believed to date back to 1840, has kept many of its original features including high ceilings, sash windows, fireplaces and an original Victorian tiled floor to the entrance hall.

Boasting four reception rooms, the ground floor poses opportunities for a drawing room, formal dining hall, a study and a separate sitting room just off of the kitchen.
