Summary - 2 STUD COTTAGES RIDDLESWORTH DISS IP22 2TE
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Two-bed country cottage with forest views, large garden and glass room—ideal peaceful downsizer retreat.
Stunning uninterrupted forest views
Set in a small hamlet off a private lane, this two-bedroom stone cottage sits on a large plot with uninterrupted forest views. The property combines rustic character — exposed beams and a log burner — with a modern glass room that brings the garden and treeline into daily use. A kitchen/breakfast room and useful brick outbuildings add practicality for storage or a hobby workshop.
Heating is provided by an oil-fired boiler with radiators; there is also LPG on site (buyer to verify current arrangement). The house has recently fitted double glazing (post-2002) but carries an EPC rating of E and is from the 1950s–60s construction era, so some energy improvements or updating could increase comfort and value. There is one bathroom and modest internal space (about 1,136 sq ft), so families needing multiple bathrooms or more bedrooms should note the layout.
This home will appeal to buyers seeking a peaceful country retreat — downsizers, weekenders or those valuing outdoor space and walking routes like the nearby Angles Way. The large garden, patio and outbuildings offer landscaping or small-scale agricultural potential; the rural location brings low crime and good broadband but average mobile signal. No flooding risk is recorded and council tax is very low.
Practical considerations: access is via a private road in a remote setting, which suits privacy but may mean longer journeys for daily errands. The property is freehold and offered with clear outside space that invites straightforward improvements for energy efficiency and modern living.
