Summary - 56, HIGH STREET IP31 2HJ
3 bed 2 bath Cottage
Period charm with flexible investment or family layout in a thriving village centre.
Grade II listed 17th-century cottage with fine inglenook fireplaces
A striking Grade II listed 17th-century home with many original details and modern conveniences. Recently re-thatched and refreshed, the property offers inglenook fireplaces, exposed beams and upgraded kitchens and bathrooms, presenting immediate comfort with period character. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the home benefits from a newly installed electric heating system and very low flood risk.
Currently configured as two adjoining investment cottages with separate entrances, this versatile layout can be readily converted back into a single larger residence by removing stud partitions. The accommodation extends to around 1,700 sqft across multiple reception rooms and three double bedrooms, and it is offered with no onward chain, making it attractive to buyers seeking a turn-key period purchase or an income-producing opportunity.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status: any external or structural alterations will require Listed Building Consent and could restrict changes or add cost. The rear garden is enclosed but currently divided between the two units, and the street-facing frontage offers only minimal forecourt space. Council tax is currently shown as two bands (B and C), reflecting the split layout.
Set in the heart of a well-served Suffolk village, the location provides local shops, pubs, a doctors surgery and good schools nearby, with Bury St Edmunds about seven miles away. This is a strong choice for purchasers seeking period character with flexible uses, but buyers must factor in listed‑building constraints when planning further works.
