Summary - THE CHERRY TREE SOUTHWOLD ROAD HOLTON HALESWORTH IP19 8PW
6 bed 3 bath Cottage
Period character with a dramatic oak-and-glass extension, large gardens and separate income annex.
Former 18th-century coaching inn, newly renovated throughout
This former 18th-century coaching inn has been comprehensively restored and remodelled to create a striking family home that blends period character with contemporary living. A substantial oak-and-glass extension creates a light-filled open-plan kitchen/dining/family room with underfloor heating, seamless access to a raised brick terrace and far-reaching views over the professionally landscaped rear garden. The property is newly renovated and well presented throughout, with gas central heating, a useful tanked cellar, utility/pantry and a generous sitting room with wood-burner.
Accommodation is flexible across three storeys with five main bedrooms in the principal house plus a self-contained one-bedroom annex. The annex currently provides an income stream but can be incorporated into the main house through an interconnecting door in the library if more internal space is required. Upstairs offers three double bedrooms on the first floor, a family bathroom and shower room, with two further rooms on the second floor currently used as office and studio (both include a WC and could serve as bedrooms or flexible workspaces).
Outside, the plot of roughly one-third acre is a major asset: professionally landscaped grounds include a large ornamental pond, orchard, raised vegetable beds, greenhouse, geodesic dome, workshop and two sheds. The garden backs onto the Blyth Valley and is private and well planted, creating strong outdoor amenity and a rural outlook. Practical extras include off-street parking for multiple vehicles, EV charging and secondary rear access to additional parking by the workshop.
A few practical points to note: broadband speed is reported as slow, council tax is above average (Band E) and the shared driveway is owned by the vendors but used by neighbours, which may involve existing access arrangements. The pond and extensive planting require ongoing maintenance. Overall, this is a large, versatile country property ideal for a family seeking character, indoor–outdoor living and space for home working or occasional rental income.
