Summary - OAK COTTAGE BLACKHEATH ROAD WENHASTON HALESWORTH IP19 9HD
2 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Two-bedroom village home with development potential and eco upgrades.
Period cottage with sympathetic modernisation
A charming period cottage set on a generous plot of around a fifth of an acre in the well-regarded villages of Wenhaston and Blackheath. The house has been sensitively updated: walls, floors and ceilings were insulated during a 2015 rebuild, new plumbing and wiring installed, double glazing fitted, and an air source heat pump added for efficient electric heating. The kitchen/diner extension with pitched roof and twin Velux windows provides a bright, sociable heart to the home while two reception rooms retain cosy cottage character.
Practical features include a double garage and driveway parking, a Pod Point EV charger, and planning permission already granted to convert the garage into a separate detached bungalow — creating an obvious income or family-augmentation opportunity. Upstairs offers two well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom; the rear reception could be used as a ground-floor bedroom if needed.
The plot is a major asset: fruit trees, vegetable beds and a patio sit on a sloping garden that offers scope for landscaping or productive planting. Note the garden is currently overgrown and will need clearing and landscaping to reach its full potential. Broadband speeds are average and mobile signal is excellent; the area is low crime and ideal for those who value village life and easy access to the Suffolk Heritage Coast.
This property suits an owner-occupier looking for character with modern eco-credentials, or an investor/homeowner pair wanting to create additional value by developing the permitted bungalow. Main services are mains water, mains drainage and electricity; council tax band is affordable (Band C).
