Cosy period home with garden and parking potential for first-time buyers.
Chain free two-bedroom semi-detached period cottage with character features
A charming two-bedroom semi-detached period cottage set quietly within Halesworth town centre, offered chain free and ready for a new owner. The house retains authentic features including exposed timbers, an exposed brick fireplace with a wood burner and pine latch-and-brace doors, giving immediate cottage character and cosy appeal. Secondary glazing and electric heating are fitted, and the layout provides a sitting room, open-plan kitchen/dining room, two double bedrooms and a ground-floor bathroom.
The rear garden is enclosed, private and has vehicular access from Chediston Street; previous owners incorporated off-street parking within the garden, and a residents’ permit is available locally. The plot is small and currently a little overgrown, presenting straightforward potential to formalise parking or create a tidy rear terrace and lawn. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, and Halesworth’s shops, services and a train link to Ipswich and London are a short walk away.
Practical considerations: the cottage is an average-sized home (651 sq ft) with relatively small rooms and lower ceilings typical of older properties. Some interior elements and finishes are dated — kitchen cabinetry and flooring show mid-century styling and would benefit from modernisation to unlock full value. Heating is electric rather than gas, which may affect running costs. The property sits in an area with higher-than-average local deprivation indicators, though crime levels are average and community amenities are close by.
This home will suit a first-time buyer or buyer seeking a period town cottage to renovate and personalise. It offers immediate charm and town-centre convenience with clear scope for improvement and modest investment to create a comfortable, character-filled long-term home.
