Summary - The Granary, Mill Lane, Needham IP20 9LD
3 bed 1 bath House
Semi-rural three-bedroom house offering large garden, scope to modernise and no onward chain.
Three double bedrooms with countryside views
Generous established garden and paved patio for entertaining
No onward chain; shared driveway with pedestrian right of way
Requires full updating and modernisation throughout
High flood risk — affects insurance and renovation design
Private drainage likely non-compliant; budget for new treatment plant
Oil central heating; double glazing present but age unknown
Very slow broadband and average mobile signal
A detached former farmhouse set on the edge of Needham, this unlisted cottage sits in a semi-rural spot with open countryside views and a generous, established garden. The layout provides three double bedrooms and comfortable reception rooms arranged over two floors — a straight‑forward canvas for a sympathetic refurbishment that will unlock substantial value.
The house currently requires updating and modernisation throughout. Services include oil-fired central heating and a wood burner in the sitting room; glazing is double but install date is unknown. The existing private drainage (septic tank) is unlikely to meet current regulations, so replacement with a sewage treatment system should be budgeted into any renovation plan. Flood risk for the site is recorded as high and will be an important consideration for insurance and design.
Practical benefits include off-street parking accessed via a shared drive and true chain-free sale, making for a quicker transaction. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal only average, reflecting the remoter, agricultural setting. For buyers seeking rural character, scope to extend or update, and long-term capital growth, this cottage offers clear potential; for those wanting a turnkey home, significant works and allowances will be needed.
