Period features and village location ideal for family life.
Grade II listed cottage with historic exposed timbers
A Grade II listed end-terrace cottage with centuries of character, Oak Cottage blends traditional features with village convenience. Exposed timbers, heavy beamed ceilings and an inglenook fireplace create a cosy, authentic living room while a kitchen-dining room and courtyard garden suit everyday family life. Off-street parking and fast broadband add practical benefits for modern living.
The house offers three bedrooms, a ground-floor bathroom and a master bedroom with ensuite WC across an average-sized, multi-storey layout. Low ceilings and period proportions give abundant charm but limit some modernisation options. The small courtyard garden is low-maintenance rather than expansive, making it easy to manage for busy households.
Buyers should note the property’s Grade II listing: any alterations will need consent and could complicate or add cost to renovation works. The cottage is believed to date back several centuries and presents scope for sympathetic updating rather than wholesale remodelling. Council tax is low and the location in Woolpit places local shops, a primary school and countryside walks close to hand.
This home will suit buyers who value character and village life and who are prepared to work with listed-building constraints. It’s a compelling opportunity for a family seeking a characterful home near Bury St. Edmunds, or for someone looking to invest in a period property with careful, period-appropriate improvements.
