Characterful period home with large rear garden and renovation potential.
Grade II listed 15th-century thatched cottage with exposed beams
A charming Grade II listed 15th-century cottage offering characterful living in Haughley, close to Stowmarket. Exposed beams, a brick fireplace and traditional thatched roof give the house authentic period appeal, while an 80-foot rear garden provides rare outdoor space for a property of this age.
The property is freehold with easy access to the A12/A14 and local shops, pubs and amenities, and benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — ideal for working from home. The ridge was renewed in 2015 and flood risk is very low, giving practical reassurance alongside the cottage charm.
This is a renovation opportunity: rooms are small with low ceilings and the house needs updating throughout. Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate repairs and insurance, so buyers should budget for specialist work and listed-building permissions. On-street parking only and the single shower room may not suit all households.
Offered at a modest price, the house suits buyers seeking a character-filled starter home or a sympathetic restoration project in a pleasant village setting. Viewings are recommended for anyone wanting period features and a substantial rear garden within easy reach of transport links.
