Situated in a semi rural village location yet just a few minutes drive into the centre of Bury St Edmunds Sheridans are pleased to offer this pretty cottage to the market. Understood to have been built in the 19th century as an estate workers cottage, this charming brick and flint semi detached cottage displays delightful features and characteristics including fireplace with wood burning stove and cottage internal doors.
The characterful accommodation is offered with no onward chain and currently in brief comprises; entrance door to an entrance hall with door to a cosy front aspect sitting room with a feature fireplace and stairs off to the first floor. In more recent years the kitchen/dining room has been re-fitted with a matching range of units with preparation surfaces, wooden effect flooring and door to front. There is a ground floor bathroom fitted with a white suite including a bath, wash hand basin and a full size separate shower cubicle.
On the first floor is a landing with airing cupboard and two well appointed bedrooms providing far reaching views across the beautiful Suffolk countryside. To really appreciate the potential lifestyle on offer in an attractive location and yet to be within such easy reach of such a highly regarded town, leisure activities in the surrounding area and a wealth of highly rated places to eat both within the town and local villages we feel that an viewing is recommended.
Outside - To the front of the property is an area of paved terracing / vehicle parking. To the rear (and not adjoining the house) is a secluded area of paved garden and a brick and flint outbuilding which was the former wash house, providing potential and scope to be converted into a studio or home office.
Location - The cottage is situated along a no-through lane overlooking open countryside. Hengrave is a desirable village situated only a few miles to the north west of the historic market town of Bury St Edmunds and its excellent range of everyday facilities. It is close to well-regarded schools and sports facilities and uniquely independent shops (as well as well known high street stores, and including a Waitrose supermarket and Marks and Spencer food hall, and the beautiful parks, cinemas, theatres and restaurants for which the town is famously known as the 'jewel in the crown of Suffolk'. The house is close to everything that gives Bury its distinct reputation for bringing together the best of old and new, with its rich history and its broad range of venues for dining, shopping and relaxing. These include an impressive fresh produce market every Wednesday and Saturday. The town is renowned for its beautiful Cathedral and for the leafy and floral Abbey Gardens with its impressive medieval ruins, all just a short stroll down from the colourful boutiques and cafe culture of the town centre.
It is easy to see why people want to settle in and around Bury St Edmunds and make it their home. This property is close to the excellent rail and road networks which make London and Cambridge easily commutable, along with giving access to the fine range of town, country and coastal destinations of East Anglia. Additionally. for international destinations, Stansted Airport is only about an hour's door-to-door journey from the house.
Directions - When entering Hengrave from the direction of Bury St Edmunds, take the first turning on the right into Mill Road, where the cottage will be found on the left-hand side.
Agent's Note - Agents note: To the rear of the cottage is an area of lawned garden which is not owned by the cottage and not included in the sale and as common with many former estate worker cottages, there is a small area of flying freehold. There is however a private garden that comes with the cottage which is highlighted in blue on the plan.
Services - Mains electricity, water and drainage are connected. Council Tax Band B. EPC Rating D.
