The Farmhouse, Sibton Park, Sibton

About this property

Once the Home Farm to Sibton Park and without doubt the oldest building on the estate, the Farmhouse has been faithfully restored and extended using Suffolk materials to create an unusual family homestead. The oak-frame of the house, which has its origins in the 17th century, has been rubbed back and polished with beeswax, and Suffolk brick floors re-laid to take under-floor heating. The original 17th century leaded lights and later Georgian windows have been reinstated affording wonderful views across the park to the lake and wider estate.

There are beams aplenty beneath a thatched roof that uses Norfolk Reed and locally grown long-straw and traditional Suffolk pargeting details inside and out.

The triple-height hall, at the heart of the home and perfect for gatherings or parlour games, leads to sunny terraces and the cosy sitting room with open hearth and comfortable sofas. The Farmhouse is only available on an exclusive-use basis making it the ideal venue for fine parties, special family celebrations and corporate shin-digs. The Park’s friendly, knowledgeable and discreet staff members are on hand to ensure an enjoyable and memorable stay.
