Set in a peaceful Suffolk lane, Stone Cottage is a fully renovated seventeenth‑century longhouse marrying period character with contemporary living. The owners have retained exposed timbers, inglenook fireplaces and original proportions while introducing a sleek kitchen, underfloor heating to the ground floor and modern bathrooms.
The house sits in about three‑quarters of an acre bordered by farmland, with electric gated access, generous parking, workshops, garages and a separate annex that has been used successfully as a holiday let or ancillary accommodation. Large reception rooms, a flexible landing/study and a substantial second‑floor bedroom suite make the layout well suited to family life or multi‑generation use.
Practical aspects: heating is by an oil‑fired boiler augmented by biomass heating; mains water with private drainage; solid brick walls as built likely have no cavity insulation; double glazing was installed before 2002. Council Tax is band F and running costs should be considered when budgeting.
This is a rare chance to buy a character property that is move‑in ready yet still offers scope for owners to personalise finishes, improve insulation and potentially increase energy efficiency. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, rural outlook and the convenience of the self‑contained annex.
