Chapel Cottage is a tucked-away, two-bedroom detached home in the heart of Stradbroke, offering about 900 sq ft of practical village living. Its layout includes two ground-floor reception rooms, a fitted kitchen with pantry, ground-floor WC and a sizeable entrance hall — a comfortable plan for everyday use or flexible living. The southerly-facing rear garden is private and mainly lawned, with a tarmac driveway providing off-street parking for several cars.
The house dates from the 1930–1949 period and retains character proportions with two well-proportioned first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property is offered with no onward chain, which simplifies a quicker move for buyers. The location is a strong selling point: set back from the road, within easy walking distance of Stradbroke’s shops, pubs, primary and secondary schools and community amenities.
There are some material matters to factor into any purchase decision. The property has secondary glazing and construction described as timber frame with assumed no insulation in the walls; updating and insulation work may be needed to improve comfort and running costs. Heating details are mixed in the information provided (electric heating and LPG boiler/radiators are both referenced) and should be confirmed by a buyer. EPC rating D indicates modest energy performance. Decorative updating and some general modernisation would unlock more of the home’s potential.
Overall, this detached village cottage will suit buyers looking for a manageable, characterful home in a quiet, well-served rural community — particularly those willing to invest modestly in energy improvements and cosmetic updating to personalise and enhance value.
