Palmer & Partners are delighted to present to the market this charming Grade II listed detached thatched cottage situated in the rural village of Hemingstone down a Designated Quiet Lane. This ‘chocolate box’ cottage, which is called The Rosery, sits on a plot of approximately one acre (subject to survey) and boasts far reaching views of the countryside from the first floor bedrooms; there has been the addition of a ground floor wing providing the potential for a useful one bedroom self-contained annexe. Throughout the cottage there is an abundance of original period features including studwork and exposed beams, stable latch doors and impressive Inglenook fireplace in the sitting room. The owners have planning permission to put up 16 ground mounted solar panels which would nearly power the whole house. The Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Council planning application is DC/22/01912.

The Rosery is accessed via a driveway which leads to a designated parking area providing ample off-road parking for numerous vehicles; within the grounds there are numerous outbuildings including a timber garage, workshop, cool store, summerhouse, storage room, and pump room. The grounds themselves are spectacular and a particular selling point with extensive beautifully manicured lawns; an abundance of well-established shrubs, flowerbeds and trees; feature water fountain; and various terraced areas on which to sit and enjoy the view whilst alfresco dining.

The idyllic rural village of Hemingstone, nestled in beautiful undulating countryside of Mid Suffolk, can trace its origin back to Anglo-Saxon times with several mentions in the Domesday Book of 1086. The present Grade 1 Parish Church of St. Gregory, built on ancient earthworks, is mainly 14thcentury but still has evidence of its Anglo Saxon, one of only 13 in Suffolk to do so. The affectionately named ‘Hut’ is the social centre of the village, situated along Bulls Road and is a WW1 hut from Rendlesham Forest gifted to the village in 1920. The village offers fabulous country walks and amenities include village stores and public houses, with leisure centres being found in the nearby neighbouring villages. The nearby towns of Needham Market, Stowmarket and Debenham offer further amenities including schooling, railway stations with links to London Liverpool Street station, independent stores, hotels and restaurants, doctors, dentist, and more. Local primary schools can be found at Claydon, Helmingham, Otley and Henley with nearby senior schools at Claydon, Farlingaye in Woodbridge and the well reputed Debenham High School.

Agents note:
We have been advised that the property is on private water and sewerage with an independent water system; there is mains electricity connected; and oil fired central heating.
