Two-bedroom semi-detached cottage, newly renovated and move-in ready
Large private garden backing onto the River Lark, picturesque outlook
Detached garage plus private driveway; off-street parking for multiple cars
Character features: exposed beams, shaker kitchen, feature chimney breast
Main heating electricity with electric storage heaters; higher running costs possible
EPC rating F — energy performance is poor and may need improvement

Slow broadband and average mobile signal in this rural hamlet
Tucked away in a peaceful Suffolk hamlet, this newly renovated two-bedroom cottage combines character features with modern finishes. Exposed beams, shaker-style kitchen and a welcoming sitting room give a cosy, low-maintenance home ideal for downsizers seeking countryside calm.
The cottage sits on a large plot with a well-maintained rear garden that backs onto the River Lark, offering privacy and a picturesque outlook. A detached garage and private driveway provide useful storage and off-street parking for multiple vehicles.
Practical considerations are clear: the home uses electric storage heaters and electricity as the main fuel, the EPC is rated F, and broadband speeds are slow. There is a medium flood risk due to the riverside boundary; buyers should obtain specific flood and insurance advice. Council tax is inexpensive and the local area is affluent and very low in crime.
For someone looking to downsize without sacrificing garden space, or to enjoy quiet rural living close to countryside walks and nearby villages, this cottage presents an attractive, move-in-ready option. The setting delivers tranquillity and character, while some running-cost and connectivity limitations should be factored into planning.
