About this property

Sayer’s Mansion holds a truly magnificent position, set within five thousand acres of private grounds. Built in 1827 by Robert Sayer, who was once the Sheriff of Suffolk, the grade II* listed Georgian house makes a truly luxurious base for a special occasion, a family get-together or a reunion of friends.

Those fortunate enough to stay here, will get a sense of the grandeur on arrival, sweeping up the serpentine driveway and over the ornamental bridge, to be greeted with the honey coloured stone façade and iconic entrance pillars. The sense of opulence continues throughout the home, on the ground floor is the impressive living accommodation comprising of a number of reception rooms, including the drawing room, cosy Library, Moroccan-inspired TV room, formal dining room, ideal for special occasions, and the bright kitchen with relaxed breakfast dining facilities. Also on this level is the first of the bedrooms, a king-size double with en-suite bathroom. On the lower ground floor is a further entertaining space, comprising of a cinema room, games room and even a gym!

Upstairs, on the first floor, are the first seven bedrooms, six of which feature en-suite bathroom facilities, while guests staying in the remaining bedroom can make use of the next-door adjoining bathroom. On the second floor, are the remaining six bedrooms, five doubles and one single, two of the rooms have their own en-suite facilities, while the others share the use of a family bathroom which is also accessible, Jack & Jill-style, from one of the bedrooms. In total, the home can comfortably sleep up to twenty-seven guests, across its fourteen beautifully-appointed bedrooms.

Outside, enjoy balmy Summer evenings dining al fresco on the terrace while enjoying tasty barbecues. Spend dream-like days, exploring the grounds on bicycles, enjoying competitive games of tennis on the court or, for the more adventurous, choose to hire rowing boats or paddle boards and explore the Estate’s private lakes.

Sayer's Mansion is set within a 5,000 acre Estate, there is a small cluster of country houses, luxury farmhouses and cottages set within the private grounds centered around Sayer’s Mansion. While the grounds, lakes and tennis court are shared with the guests of the other homes, the Estate has been carefully designed so that your group will retain plenty of privacy.

The Estate is situated in a beautiful corner of East Anglia set just outside the Suffolk village of Yoxford and just a 10-minute car journey from popular Saxmundham, a market town which is just bursting with charm and boasts a variety of independent shops and excellent eateries. The closest coastal resorts of Aldeburgh and Southwold are both just a 20-minute car journey away, whether you choose to sample fish & chips in Aldeburgh or take a stroll along Southwold’s Pier, a fantastic day out is guaranteed. Southwold is home to the Adnam’s Brewery & Gin Distillery, one of the most modern breweries in the world, book a tour to discover just how they produce their beer or gin and enjoy a yummy sample at the end! The town of Framlingham, home to the 12th century Framlingham Castle, the internationally-known “Castle on the Hill”, is just a 20-minute drive away and is well worth a visit while in the area.
