Tower Cottage is a traditional three-storey village home that suits buyers looking for character and practical space in Kelsale. Exposed beams, a brick fireplace and period proportions give genuine charm, while gas central heating and UPVC double glazing keep running costs straightforward. The layout is flexible: a first-floor sitting room could serve as a fourth bedroom or home office, and there are three further bedrooms across the upper floors.
At about 870 sq ft, the cottage is compact but well arranged. The fitted kitchen includes an integrated Bosch dishwasher and links to a small private courtyard — useful for low-maintenance outdoor space but not for extensive gardening. The ground-floor dining room with a sealed brick fireplace provides a cosy reception area, although the fireplace would need reinstating if you want a working hearth.
Practical positives include good mobile signal, fast broadband, affordable council tax and a no onward chain sale. The property will appeal to first-time buyers, small families, or investors seeking lettings or holiday-let income (including interest linked to Sizewell C). Buyers should note the modest footprint, courtyard garden only, and that the house is typical of an older cottage layout — rooms are vertical rather than expansive. Some cosmetic updating or reconfiguration may unlock additional value.
