A characterful three-bedroom cottage arranged over three floors, set in the heart of Wrentham village and offered in excellent decorative order. The living room’s exposed timbers and feature wood-burner create an inviting family hub, while a smart kitchen-diner and separate family room/study give useful day-to-day flexibility.
Outside there is a small courtyard with useful store and covered cooking area, plus a larger rear garden with vegetable plot, lawn and shed. Off-road parking is available for several cars — a distinct advantage in a village location. The property benefits from recent renovation so many cosmetic and finish issues have been addressed.
Practical points to note: the property uses electric wet-system heating (running costs can be higher than gas), the plot is modest in size, and the layout is split over three floors which may be less convenient for limited mobility. Broadband speeds are average locally and the wider area shows higher levels of deprivation than nearby towns.
Location is a strong selling point: Wrentham sits close to Southwold and the Covehithe beach within the Benacre National Nature Reserve, with village amenities (shop, pubs, cafe) and bus links to Beccles, Lowestoft and Norwich. Freehold tenure and a generous internal size make this a practical family home or attractive village retreat.
