Laurel Cottage is an attractively renovated two-bedroom semi-detached cottage in peaceful Blyford. The interior blends original exposed beams with a high-spec open-plan kitchen/dining space and a cosy living room with a working wood burner. Large patio doors and dual-aspect rooms flood the house with natural light, and the rear garden with raised decking creates an easy indoor–outdoor flow.
The property has been run successfully as a holiday let and presents well for investors seeking an income-producing rural bolt-hole, or for buyers wanting a ready-to-move-into village home. Practical benefits include private off-street parking, a decent plot with an enclosed garden, and a 1,025 sq ft layout that feels larger than many two-bed cottages.
There are some important practical points to note: the EPC rating is E and the house is heated by an oil-fired boiler with an onsite oil tank, so energy costs and future fuel arrangements are factors to consider. The walls are solid brick with no assumed cavity insulation, so improving thermal efficiency may be needed to reduce bills and raise the EPC. Buyers should also be aware of a flying freehold affecting the neighbouring property.
The setting in Blyford offers quiet rural life with easy access to nearby Halesworth and the Suffolk coast. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average, typical for the hamlet location; purchasers seeking reliable high-speed connectivity should check service options. Overall, this cottage is a characterful, well-presented home with clear potential for further enhancement and continued holiday-let or residential use.
