Designed for over-55s, this three-bedroom cottage in Hasells Courtyard combines village charm with low-maintenance communal living. The layout includes a sitting room, separate dining room, cloak/shower room, and a family bathroom, arranged across an average-sized, well-proportioned floor plan. A private patio garden and single garage add practical outdoor and parking space.
Residents benefit from onsite support and services: a visiting estate manager, communal laundry, a personal alarm system, and grounds maintenance handled by Cognatum Estates. The courtyard’s traditional Suffolk architecture and well-kept central lawn create a strong sense of community and attractive, peaceful surroundings in Long Melford.
Practical considerations: the property is leasehold with approximately 108 years remaining and no ground rent, and an annual service charge of £9,850 which covers maintenance, insurance and communal services. Council tax is above average for the area. These running costs should be weighed alongside the convenience and security the development provides.
This cottage will suit an independent retiree or couple looking for a sociable, managed setting close to village amenities, historic sites and countryside walks. The home is offered with no onward chain and ready for immediate occupation by a buyer wanting comfort, community and modest outdoor space without extensive upkeep.
