OFFERED WITH NO ONWARD CHAIN — this handsome red‑brick cottage dates to c.1862 and combines period character with flexible family living. Formerly two farmworkers’ cottages, the house now provides multiple reception rooms, a study, two conservatories and five bedrooms across principally two storeys, offering scope for home offices, play areas and intergenerational use.
The plot is generous for the location, with a mature front and rear garden, pond, garage and block‑paved driveway. Practical updates include an air‑source heat pump serving radiators and an insulated booster in the utility; the house benefits from low local crime, excellent mobile signal and easy A14 access for Ipswich and beyond.
While solid brick walls and many original features give strong character, parts of the property will benefit from modernisation. The building pre‑dates 1900 and walls are assumed uninsulated; there is average broadband, a medium flood risk for the area, and some rooms are small by modern standards. These are straightforward considerations for buyers looking to add value through targeted upgrading and insulation works.
This home will suit families seeking rural village life with good schooling nearby, or buyers wanting a character property with refurbishment potential rather than a fully modern turnkey home. The large plot and flexible internal layout present clear scope to adapt spaces to changing household needs.
