The Old Vicarage, Hoxne, Suffolk

Anyone who watched the brilliant BBC series The Detectorists will know what to hope of a home in Hoxne, Suffolk.   The village is the location of The Hoxne Hoard, the largest collection of late-Roman gold and silver ever found in Britain, today worth almost £4 million. And now the Old Vicarage in Hoxne is for sale, and what a beautiful old house it is. See here for yet another exquisite article from Country Life.

One can but wish to own such a home set in such delightful surroundings, with views over the Waveney Valley. I’d love to live there….but there’s only one problem. I have to run the piggybank to ground and he’s getting wilier every day. I want his pennies but he’s determined to hang on to them!

To read more about the hoard, Wikipedia wikipedia has a very informative page. And you can read more at the Smithsonian and World History
