The Times' house of the week this week is High House Farm, on the market with Jackson-Stops Ipswich with a guide price of £1,750,000.

"History and lakeside living collide in High House Farm, a manor house in Bredfield, a village ten minutes' drive north from Woodbridge. Dating to the 18th century, with Victorian and Edwardian additions, this grade II* listed six-bedroom house needs an owner who appreciates its high-ceilinged "statement rooms" and wide Tudor fireplaces, but also the stylish, comfortable modern furnishings. It's been refurbished from top to bottom, but there is still a range of two-story barns, connected to water and power, if the buyer fancied a project. There are nine acres of grounds to play with, including woodland and a picturesque lake with its own island. Melton railway station is eight minutes' drive away, with a 22-minute train connection to Ipswich and a 70-minute ride onwards to London Liverpool Street."
