Set on Benhall Green, this end-of-terrace period cottage combines traditional charm with practical village living. The sitting room centres on an inglenook fireplace and wood-burning stove beneath exposed beams, offering cosy winter evenings. A rustic kitchen/dining room and a ground-floor shower room with electric underfloor heating make day-to-day life straightforward. The principal bedroom benefits from an ensuite bathroom; two further bedrooms are well proportioned for family use or flexible home working.
Outside there is a private cottage garden with established planting and a paved path leading to a detached insulated studio — ideal as a home office, workshop or hobby room. Off-street parking and a lawned front garden complete the setting. The property sits about 1½ miles from Saxmundham, with local primary schooling nearby and good access to the A12 and rail links.
Buyers should be aware this older solid-brick cottage has electric storage heating as the main system and an EPC rating of F. The walls are assumed uninsulated in the original construction, so energy costs may be higher and targeted insulation or heating upgrades would improve comfort and running costs. The house is presented with characterful finishes rather than contemporary refurbishments, so modest modernisation may be needed to meet some buyers’ standards.
For purchasers seeking village life with character and useful ancillary accommodation, this property delivers unique period features and a versatile studio, while offering clear scope to add value through energy upgrades and selective modernisation.
