Summary - APPLETREE COTTAGE LOWER GREEN DENSTON NEWMARKET CB8 8PN
1 bed 1 bath Cottage
Charming single-storey thatched cottage with large gardens and useful outbuildings.
Thatched, timber-frame period cottage on a very large plot
Apple Tree Cottage is a charming unlisted thatched cottage set on a very large plot in Denston, offering peaceful country living with far-reaching field views. The single-storey layout feels cosy and practical: a welcoming reception room with a working brick fireplace, a bright farmhouse-style kitchen, and a bedroom plus a flexible utility/second-room. Mature hedging and trees create privacy and the tiered garden, summerhouse, workshop and garage add useful, versatile space.
The plot and outbuildings are standout features. A shingled driveway provides off-street parking for several cars and leads to a detached garage; the workshop and summerhouse both have power and light. There is clear scope to extend or reconfigure accommodation (subject to planning) for someone wanting to create more living space or add a second bedroom.
Buyers should be aware this is a traditional timber-frame, thatched property likely built before 1900 and assumed to have limited insulation. The cottage uses LPG-fired central heating and the boiler is housed in a large storage cupboard; thatch and older timber construction bring ongoing maintenance responsibilities and potential upgrade costs. The kitchen is attractive but would benefit from modernization to suit contemporary standards.
This property will suit someone seeking a characterful rural home with a large garden rather than a turnkey modern house. It is a strong proposition for a downsizer or buyer wanting a country retreat with scope to adapt over time. Practical benefits include low local crime, fast broadband, good local schools and easy access to nearby towns.
