Vast Country Estate in the Heart of Suffolk, England
The sprawling 1,763-acre property located in Little Glemham, has been put on the market for the first time in a century.
For the past 101 years, the Glemham Hall Estate has been in the hands of the same family, the Cobbolds. Capt. John Murray Cobbold, a local brewer, acquired the property in 1923, and it has remained within the family ever since.
Over the years, the estate has been a hub of activity, hosting events like the annual FolkEast music festival, weddings, Sunday lunches, guided tours, and even fashion photoshoots for publications like Vogue.
At the heart of the estate stands a grand mansion dating back to around 1560, surrounded by 183 acres of private parkland.
This historic residence exudes timeless elegance, boasting 12 bedrooms, seven main reception rooms, a conservatory, featuring soaring ceilings and sash windows.
From the majestic reception hall adorned with carved columns to the panelled library and billiards room, rich period features evoke the splendour of a bygone era.
The grounds have a grass tennis court and enclosed formal gardens dating back to the 18th century, and a winding river meadow creates an idyllic setting for leisurely strolls and outdoor recreation on the private estate.
With over 1,000 acres of land under its belt, — a mix of arable, river meadow and woodland — the estate comes with a 526-acre let farm with a Grade II-listed, 17th-century farmhouse and seven cottages.
One of Suffolk’s most notable rural estates, Glemham Hall Estate is available to purchase as a whole or in parts.
