Set in the heart of Debenham, this two-bedroom mid-terrace cottage balances village character with practical living. Two reception rooms and a fitted kitchen give flexible living space for home working or entertaining, while sliding doors open to a secluded courtyard — a low-maintenance outdoor space for morning coffee or potted planting. The house overlooks the church to the rear and part of the village green to the front, offering pleasant village views.
The property is freehold, has allocated off-street parking and a small, well-kept front garden. Bedrooms are good-sized doubles and the family bathroom includes an airing cupboard and plumbing for a washing machine. Council tax band C and very low local crime make this a budget-friendly and secure option for a first home.
Practical considerations are clear: heating is by electric storage heaters, walls are original solid brick with no added insulation assumed, and the current EPC is E (46) with potential to B (81). These factors point to likely energy-efficiency improvements and heating upgrades to reduce running costs. Broadband is average, mobile signal is excellent, and there is no flood risk.
This cottage will suit a first-time buyer or couple seeking a manageable village home with character and scope for targeted improvement. The location places everyday amenities and a Good-rated secondary school within easy reach, while the property’s compact plot and courtyard keep maintenance straightforward.
