Old Newton House presents predominantly gault brick elevations with sash windows under a slate roof. Understood to date from 1823 with later additions, the principal house offers extremely comfortable and well proportioned accommodation centred around an attractive entrance hall.
In addition to the main reception rooms the property also benefits from a wine cellar accessed from the main hall. There is a fine Amdega conservatory adjacent to which is a vine room with an abundant vine.
The house has many attractive features including large sash windows, attractive fireplaces and ornate plaster work.
The bedroom accommodation includes a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and four further double bedrooms and a family bathroom which includes an oversized Jacuzzi bath, shower cubicle and a sauna.
In addition to the accommodation in the main house, the nearby coach house has been converted, currently providing office accommodation but with the potential for additional residential accommodation.


Old Newton House occupies an elevated setting, with far reaching views, on the outskirts of the village of Old Newton.
Old Newton lies approximately 3 miles to the north of Stowmarket which has an extensive range of shopping, commercial and recreational facilities.
There is a mainline railway station in the town, with a journey time to London Liverpool Street Station of approximately 80 minutes.
The A14 is approximately 3 miles away and connects with the country's motorway network.


Old Newton House is approached through large brick piers and electronically operated horse shoe wrought iron gates onto a sweeping in-and-out driveway. There is an area of block paved parking to the front of the coach house adjacent to the double garage with two electric up and over doors. The garage is connected to the coach house via a substantial store room.
To the front of the house are lawned gardens with numerous mature trees and shrubs including yew, holme oak, cherry, ash, magnolia and horse chestnut. From the front garden there are wonderful views over open countryside towards the village church. The lawned gardens and further trees continue round to the north where there is a garden machinery store.
To the south of the house are formal gardens with yew and laurel hedges and areas of orchard with a variety of fruiting trees.
To the west of the house is an enclosed courtyard within which there are two storage buildings. From the courtyard a gate leads out to the coach house.
Immediately to the south of the house, adjacent to the conservatory, is a York stone terrace with a large pergola. From the terrace there are views across the formal garden towards the meadowland and beyond.
To the rear of the house are well stocked flower borders, lawn, a large natural pond and trees beyond which is meadowland.
There is a large area of meadowland enclosed by a mature hedgerow to the south.
The gardens and grounds provide an extremely attractive and mature setting for Old Newton House.
