A charming Grade II listed three-bedroom cottage set in the quiet village of Ashen, offering character features, generous rear gardens and far-reaching countryside views. The house combines period detail — exposed beams, inglenook fireplace and original flooring — with a later rear extension that creates a bright kitchen/breakfast room opening onto the garden. Fast broadband and off-street parking make it suited to modern rural living.
This home will suit a family or downsizer who values character and outside space. The layout offers flexible reception rooms, a useful utility/cloakroom and three double bedrooms, one with en-suite. The deep, mature rear garden with raised terrace, lawns and established trees is a major asset for outdoor living and possible landscaping or garden projects.
Important practical points are straightforward: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance or extensions; heating is oil-fired; a new private sewage treatment plant has been installed; and a right of way runs alongside the property serving neighbouring plots. Council tax is above average. These factors are important for budgeting running costs and any future works.
Overall this is a well-presented period cottage in a peaceful village setting, offering character, space and a strong rural location close to Sudbury and Clare. It represents a good opportunity for buyers seeking a comfortable family home or a characterful downsizer residence who accept listed-building responsibilities and rural service arrangements.
