Linstead Road, Huntingfield, Halesworth, Suffolk, IP19

Crutch Hall occupies a picturesque setting along Roman Road in the charming Suffolk village of Huntingfield, surrounded by rolling countryside and open skies.

Believed to date back to around 1867, this enchanting attached cottage is full of period character and rich in detail, from the warmth of solid wood herringbone flooring underfoot to original windows, stable doors, and even Bakelite-style light switches.

The outside space here elevates the lifestyle offering beyond the ordinary. A superb two-acre post-and-rail enclosed paddock makes this a ready-made dream for equestrian buyers, with a stable block, hardstanding, and ample parking. There’s also a bespoke freestanding home office, perfectly positioned to enjoy far-reaching views — an inspiring setting for home working or creative pursuits. Wander across to the kitchen garden, where raised beds, fresh produce, and peaceful countryside wrap around you, creating a gentle, unrushed way of life that’s becoming increasingly hard to find.

Every corner of this home has been thoughtfully curated to blend timeless style with modern practicality. At the heart of the home, the quintessential country kitchen-dining room is everything you would hope for in a rural Suffolk cottage — centred around the comforting glow of a Rayburn, perfect for relaxed gatherings or hearty family meals. This wonderful space flows seamlessly into the classic sitting room, while the garden room beyond frames serene views over open fields and big Suffolk skies.

Upstairs, three beautifully presented bedrooms await, including a principal suite with its own en-suite, alongside a well-appointed family bathroom. For equestrians, everything has been considered — electricity to the stables, indoor and outdoor lighting, a compliant brick-built muck heap, and expired planning for further facilities if desired.

Excellent local equestrian centres are close by, including the outstanding arena facilities at Grove House Farm, while forest rides and coastal hacking at Dunwich are just a short drive away. For those seeking character, space, and the kind of countryside living that feels both rare and remarkable, Crutch Hall is an opportunity not to be missed.
