Located in the peaceful village of Benhall, this charming three‑bedroom detached cottage combines period character with practical modern upgrades. Bright, dual‑aspect living spaces centre on a wood‑burning stove, while a bespoke farmhouse kitchen with island and a substantial, centrally‑heated conservatory create excellent entertaining and family space. The property is offered with no onward chain and benefits from fast fibre broadband and 12 solar panels, reducing running costs.
Outside, a wraparound garden and off‑road parking for two cars provide comfortable outdoor living; there is scope to create additional parking if required. The cottage sits a short drive from the Suffolk Heritage Coast and local schools, making it well suited to families, coastal commuters or those seeking a second home.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the house uses oil‑fired central heating and is of solid brick construction (likely without cavity wall insulation), which may affect long‑term energy performance. The EPC is band D and the property falls in Council Tax band E. These are straightforward matters to manage but important when assessing running costs and potential improvement works.
Overall this is a substantial, well‑presented period cottage with clear scope for further enhancement. Its mix of cottage character, modern kitchen, conservatory and renewable energy make it a versatile home for family life or as a coastal retreat.
