Set on High Street in picturesque Bildeston, this Grade II listed timber‑frame cottage offers unmistakable period charm and a flexible three‑bedroom layout. Exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and a wood burner create cosy reception rooms, while the kitchen and dining spaces give family living room to breathe. The enclosed rear garden, single garage and private off‑street parking add practical village comforts.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status will restrict alterations and will require specialist consent for many changes. The construction is historic timber with assumed no cavity insulation; heating is by an oil boiler with secondary glazing in place. Broadband speeds are slow locally, and council tax sits above average — all factors to consider when budgeting for everyday running costs and any desired upgrades.
This home suits families or buyers seeking a characterful village residence near good local schools, or purchasers wanting a period property with sympathetic renovation potential. With solid bones and attractive external space, it rewards careful updating rather than wholesale modernisation. A pre‑purchase survey and early liaison on listed‑building consent are recommended to clarify necessary works and costs.
