OLD HALLDARSHAM

DARSHAMDarsham is a small village located between Aldeburgh and Southwold on Suffolk’s heritage coast, and close to the historic market towns of Framlingham and Halesworth. The village is well appointed,

DARSHAM OLD HALLDarsham Old Hall is believed to be one of the oldest, continually inhabited private homes in the country. The estate was granted to Roger Bigod for fighting alongside William the Conqueror in 1066 and the first records of the house appeared in 1150. Following the abolition of the monasteries, Henry VIII gave the manor and estate to Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk, who resided at nearby Framlingham Castle. The current house (originally 5 times the size) had 13th Century origins, though the main part of the house as seen today is 15th Century. In 1611 the house was purchased as the family seat by Sir Thomas Bedingfield - Commissioner of the Great Seal for

Charles I. His Coat of Arms still adorns the south wall. The 1st Earl of Stradbroke inherited the estate in 1684 and it stayed in the same family until the estate was sold in 1912.

Darsham Old Hall, is an imposing property that sits amidst 50 acres of private amenity parkland. It is approached along a ¼ mile private drive leading to the house and stable yard. A yew-lined path leads to the front door which opens into the reception hall. An impressive room, with 15ft high ceiling, flagstone floor, grand oak staircase and large fireplace with wood-burner.

with public house, farm shop, artisan bakery, small supermarket and filling station. Restaurants, doctor’s surgery and post-office are located in the adjacent villages of Westleton and Yoxford. The

railway station in Darsham (a ½ mile walk from the house), offers commuting times to London (via Ipswich and Liverpool Street) of around 2 hours.
