Step inside a freshly refurbished one-bedroom cottage on Lavenham’s historic High Street. The sitting room retains exposed timbers, a brick fireplace with inset log burner and oak-effect floors, creating an immediate sense of warmth and period charm. The kitchen/breakfast room offers shaker-style units, integrated appliances and garden views — practical for everyday living and entertaining.
Upstairs, a generous master bedroom and traditional bathroom complete the layout. The rear private terrace is walled in flint and brick and planted with herbs, providing a sheltered outdoor spot that’s low-maintenance. Practical benefits include freehold tenure, no onward chain and fast broadband — helpful for homeworking or streaming.
Important considerations: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict external and certain internal alterations and could complicate some renovations. Overall floor area and plot are small, so storage and extension options are limited. The energy rating is EPC D, so heating costs may be higher than in newer homes.
This cottage suits a first-time buyer or couple who value character, a central village location and a low-upkeep garden. It offers an attractive, move-in-ready base in an affluent, very low-crime area, but those needing lots of space or planning major remodeling should assess listing constraints and size before committing.
