Dating from the 16th century, the present Grade II Listed farmhouse was originally one of five granges attached to the Cistercian Abbey of Sibton, founded in the 12th century. South Grange housed the farming lay brothers and the original moat, fishponds and meadow are a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
The whole site retains its centuries old peaceful atmosphere.
The house ne stles in a large natural
garden, rich in wildlife, with terrace, suitable for BBQs, and other sitting areas. The house is off a lightly used single-track road and the farmyard provides ample off-road parking space. The golden silence is broken only by birdsong and the absence of street lighting brings amazing night skies.
