A charming three-bedroom detached cottage in the village of Wickhambrook, Vinns Cottage combines period character with practical village living. Recent external decoration freshens the exterior while exposed beams, a brick inglenook and parquet flooring retain authentic cottage charm. The large double-aspect sitting room with a log burner feels warm and flexible; it could be subdivided to create a home office or playroom if required.
The kitchen is well equipped for country cooking, featuring a Rayburn range cooker plus a separate electric oven and hob. Practical additions include a utility cupboard, plentiful storage, and off-street parking for two to three cars. The small, low-maintenance garden and paved patio suit buyers wanting outside space without heavy upkeep. Sold freehold and with no onward chain, the property is ready for a straightforward move.
Buyers should note a few material considerations. Heating is oil-fired via a boiler and radiators — running costs and fuel delivery should be factored in. The house is timber-framed and assumed to have no wall insulation; energy upgrades or insulation work could be worthwhile. There is a single bathroom serving three bedrooms, and the plot is small, limiting scope for large extensions.
This cottage will suit families or buyers seeking a character home in a prosperous village setting with easy commuting to Newmarket, Haverhill and Bury St Edmunds. It offers immediate charm and usable living space, with clear potential for modest modernisation to improve energy performance and personalise the interior.
