Summary - 3 WATER LANE DEBENHAM STOWMARKET IP14 6QB
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Tucked-away period home with secluded garden, separate studio and detached garage.
Grade II listed cottage with original beams and wood-burning stove
This Grade II listed two-bedroom semi-detached cottage sits tucked close to Debenham’s centre, offering characterful period features and a low-maintenance footprint ideal for downsizers. The sitting room retains exposed beams, an open fireplace with an in-situ wood burning stove and oak flooring, creating a cosy ground-floor living space. The newly fitted kitchen and bathroom give modern convenience while the compact layout keeps everyday upkeep manageable.
Outside, a secluded rear garden with decked seating, raised beds and an ornamental pond provides private outdoor space without large maintenance demands. A detached garage and a timber-built insulated studio/office expand the usable footprint for hobbies, home working or storage. The driveway provides off-street parking in a quiet town-fringe setting with very low crime and easy access to local shops and services.
There are practical constraints to note: the listed status brings restrictions on alterations, which may affect renovation or extension plans. The property is in a medium flooding risk area, so buyers should obtain specialist advice and insurance quotes. The second bedroom is small and the overall size is modest, so this home suits those seeking a compact, characterful home rather than a growing family requiring extra space. EPC is exempt due to the listing, so energy performance information is limited.
For someone looking to downsize into a tasteful period home with ready-to-use garden, studio and parking, this cottage offers a rare central-but-private spot in a prosperous rural village. Viewings will suit buyers who appreciate historic features and accept listed-building constraints.
