Set well in a peaceful rural hamlet near Stowmarket, this period three-bedroom detached cottage combines original character with practical living space. Exposed beams, two fireplaces and a conservatory create cosy, versatile rooms for family life. The substantial plot and off-street parking add outdoor flexibility and scope for extension or landscaping (subject to planning).
The ground floor offers two reception rooms, a recently modernised kitchen with granite worktops and integrated appliances, plus a handy study and utility/cloakroom layout that suits everyday family routines. A conservatory extends the living area and opens to a large, fenced rear garden with patio, raised beds, timber shed, septic tank and small pond.
Upstairs has three bedrooms and a bathroom; the principal bedroom includes a dressing area and built-in storage. Heating is by an oil-fired boiler with radiators, and double glazing is installed. The property is chain-free and sits in an affluent, very low-crime area served by good local primary schooling.
Notable points for buyers: the timber-frame fabric is traditional and likely under-insulated, and the home relies on oil heating and a private septic tank. Ceiling heights vary and some rooms are compact; a survey is recommended to confirm services and structural condition. For families seeking country character with room to adapt, this cottage offers scope and setting in equal measure.
