5 bed house for sale Great Barton, Suffolk

SITUATION & LOCATION

Set within the prestigious and highly sought-after enclave of The Park in the thriving Suffolk village of Great Barton, The Dower House is an exceptional period residence of considerable character and distinction. Originally known as Keepers Cottage and believed to date from the mid-to-late eighteenth century, the property began life as a timber-framed, thatched cottage and has evolved over the centuries into a remarkable family home that seamlessly blends historic charm with modern comfort. It is understood that the house was owned between 1927 and 1977 by Miss E. Smith, one of the original Suffragettes, adding a fascinating chapter to its rich history. Today, carefully considered extensions and renovations have created a substantial yet welcoming home, whilst preserving much of its original character, including the striking Georgian chimneys that remain an enduring architectural feature.
