Set on the outskirts of Snape with extensive countryside views, Runton Croft is a Grade II listed thatched cottage offering three/four bedroom family accommodation and generous grounds. The house retains period features — exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and original bread oven — together with sympathetic modern interventions such as underfloor heating in parts and a modern shower room.
Ground-floor living and a flexible triple-aspect reception (currently used as bedroom/third reception) make day-to-day life easy, while the sizeable wrap-around garden of about one third of an acre, triple garage and separate workshop provide significant outdoor space, storage and hobby potential. The cottage is sold chain free and lies close to Snape Maltings, Aldeburgh and the Suffolk coast.
Buyers should note the property’s Grade II listed status and thatched roof. Listing will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance. Heating is via a floor-standing oil boiler and there is no mobile signal with slow broadband speeds — factors to consider for remote working or long-term running costs.
Overall the house will suit purchasers seeking a characterful, well-presented rural cottage with large gardens and outbuildings, and who are comfortable with the responsibilities of owning a listed, thatched property.
