Set in the heart of Bildeston, this substantial Grade II* listed village house combines authentic period character with practical, flexible living. Inglenook fireplaces, exposed beams and Suffolk latch doors remain throughout, while significant additions have created generous reception and bedroom accommodation across two main floors and attic space. The home is offered chain free and benefits from ample off‑street parking, a powered double cart lodge and a private south‑facing rear garden.
The layout suits a range of buyers but will particularly appeal to those seeking a village residence with room for visitors, home working or multi‑generational living. The accommodation includes a large dining/sitting wing, separate reception rooms, a fitted kitchen with integrated ovens and a useful utility. A self‑contained studio/playroom and a dressing/sitting suite offer scope to create independent accommodation or adapt for changing needs.
Important practical points: the property is Grade II* listed which will restrict alterations and can add to repair and consent costs. Heating is electric rather than gas, and some rooms have restricted head height. Council Tax sits above average. Broadband speeds are average; mobile signal is excellent. Buyers should factor listed‑building issues and maintenance of older fabric into their plans.
Overall this is a rare opportunity to own a characterful, chain‑free village house close to the Market Place, with sizeable gardens, outbuildings and parking. For purchasers happy to work within listed‑building constraints, the house offers comfortable immediate occupation and strong potential to personalise and enhance over time.
