A Grade II listed two-bedroom cottage in the heart of Halesworth, set just a short walk from shops, the station and local schools. The house keeps many original charms — exposed timbers, sash windows, fireplaces and brick floors — and benefits from off-street parking and a pretty walled garden with a powered brick outbuilding. Sold chain free, the layout spans three levels and offers flexible living with scope to reconfigure the ground floor.
The sitting room is a generous, characterful space with a wood-burning stove and shelving, while a dining room with French doors opens directly to the garden. The current basement kitchen is functional and could remain as a useful utility, extra storage or be incorporated into a new ground-floor kitchen to create a more accessible layout. Gas central heating is installed and broadband and mobile signals are strong.
This house suits a buyer who values period character and central convenience and who is comfortable with the constraints of a listed property. The Grade II status preserves many original features but will restrict alterations and can complicate modernization. The exterior and some internal elements show wear and will benefit from updating; buyers should factor in listed-consent requirements and possible refurbishment costs.
For families or couples seeking a town-centre home with charm and parking, this property offers immediate occupation and longer-term potential. Note the small plot size and an existing pedestrian right of way through the garden for a neighbour’s bins. The property is offered freehold and available chain free.
