Summary - OAK DENE RENDHAM SAXMUNDHAM IP17 2AU
3 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious character home with versatile annex and mature garden.
Thatched 16th-century cottage overlooking the village green
A rare 16th-century thatched cottage set directly opposite the village green, Oak Dene combines period character with flexible modern living. Exposed timbers, inglenook-style fireplaces and a classic Shaker kitchen create warm, usable spaces across an unusually large footprint for a hamlet home.
The property offers three double bedrooms, ground-floor bath and shower rooms, a study and a useful utility room, making it practical for family life. Outside, mature gardens, a west-facing courtyard and a substantial gravel drive lead to a double garage and carport with an impressive annex/studio above — ideal as guest accommodation, a home office or creative studio.
Buyers should consider several material facts: the house has solid brick walls (likely uninsulated), propane (LPG) central heating rather than mains gas, private drainage and an EPC rating of F. The thatched roof and older fabric will require ongoing specialist maintenance and potential upgrading to improve thermal performance and running costs.
For families seeking character, space and rural community life, Oak Dene presents excellent scope: immediate comfortable living with clear potential to enhance energy efficiency and adapt the annex to suit evolving needs. Its village location provides good local amenities and accessible transport links to Saxmundham and Framlingham.
