This Grade II listed three-bedroom cottage in Melton offers authentic period character with modern comforts across a generous 1,464 sq ft. Exposed beams, an impressive crown post roof, traditional panelling and an open-backed fireplace create atmospheric living spaces suited to family life or buyers seeking a character home in a popular Suffolk village. The layout spans two floors with a long galley kitchen, separate dining and sitting rooms plus a snug/playroom and two bathrooms, including a substantial four-piece family bathroom.
Externally the property sits on a modest, walled plot with a private lawned garden, patio pathways and allocated off-street parking adjacent to the boundary wall. The location delivers village convenience: good primary schools, local shops, pubs and green spaces are all nearby, while broadband and mobile signals are excellent and the area records low crime and overall affluence.
Important practical points: the home is Grade II listed, which preserves historic fabric but will limit alterations and can complicate planning and maintenance. The plot is small and parking is allocated in a narrow space alongside the boundary; buyers should check listed-building consent requirements and ongoing upkeep responsibilities before proceeding.
Overall, the Old School House suits buyers who value historic detail and village living and who are prepared to work with listed‑building constraints. It provides immediate charm and comfortable accommodation with potential to personalise within heritage limits.
