Fruit of the land

Set in just under one acre of partly moated gardens, this charming timber-framed detached building from the Suffolk village of Hitcham has a beautiful wraparound thatch. It is Grade II Listed and enjoys spectacular views over the surrounding countryside.

This model depicts a delightfully idyllic scene of a young girl picking juicy red tomatoes whilst her father is loading up the family's cart in preparation for the weekly trip to market to sell their 'fruits of the land'. It pays a very fitting tribute to the strong agricultural links with the past that the village of Hitcham has enjoyed over the centuries.
