Set on the edge of Hargrave with superb open countryside views, this three-bedroom detached cottage sits on a large plot with mature hedging and generous lawned gardens. The property includes a detached garage, off-street parking and the former village stores building offering extensive storage or workshop space. There is clear scope to extend and improve (subject to planning) for buyers seeking more living space or value-add potential.
Internally the layout is traditional: sitting room with open fireplace, separate dining room, kitchen with pantry, small utility, ground-floor bathroom and a bright sun room. Upstairs are three bedrooms and useful storage cupboards; overall floor area is around 1,055 sq ft. The house has been in the same ownership for many years and is presented in mainly original condition, so it will suit purchasers prepared to modernise and personalise.
Important practical points: the property requires updating and some maintenance, and there is only one bathroom. Flooding risk is assessed as medium, so buyers should seek specialist advice and insurance quotes. On the positive side the location offers very low crime, fast broadband, easy access to the A14 and Bury St Edmunds, and several well-regarded primary schools nearby. Freehold tenure and sizeable plot make this a strong candidate for families or buyers wanting a countryside renovation project.
