Features and description

  • Tenure: Freehold
Renovation Opportunity - A charming unspoilt rural retreat with lots of outbuildings ready for modernisation, tucked away in a peaceful rural hamlet down a no-through lane with wooded gardens extending to 0.84-acre.

Situated in an enviable rural setting within this peaceful hamlet, The Cottage is a charming and authentic Grade II listed the property, offering a wealth of period features including original inglenook fireplaces, exposed beams, studwork and some Suffolk brick floors.

The property has been a much-loved family home for many years, and whilst in good order, there are areas that would require some modernisation and improvement. The accommodation extends to around 1,900sq-ft arranged over three floors, comprising entrance hall, a double aspect sitting room with inglenook fireplace, another double aspect dining room with inglenook fireplace.

The kitchen would have been a 19th-century addition, providing a good-sized area with pamment floors and fitted shaker-style units with solid wood worktop and Belfast sink, space and plumbing for dishwasher. From the back door is a lean-to conservatory/boot room.

From the kitchen is access to a ground-floor bathroom, with airing cupboard, plumbing for washing machine and water softener.

On the first floor are two double bedrooms, one of which has a large airing cupboard, besides which is a door to eaves cupboard that spans the length of the cottage. There is a steep staircase leading to the second floor, with attic bedroom and a further room which is compromised in its access but provides another option as a bedroom.

Outside
The Cottage is located on a quiet tree lined no through lane with access to a large network of field footpaths and a gravel driveway with ample parking. The grounds extend to around 0.86-acres, rich with wildlife, ponds, orchard and lawns, trees and shrubs. The various workshops and outbuildings are fringed by mature hedges and trees.

Location
The Cottage is situated in the peaceful hamlet of Blacksmith Green, close to Wetheringsett. The popular village of Debenham, which offers a range of services and highly regarded school, lies 3 miles away.

More extensive facilities are available in the market town of Stowmarket which is 8 miles away and provides mainline rail services to London Liverpool Street (which takes approximately 80 minutes). The historic towns of Bury St Edmunds and Woodbridge offer further cultural and architectural delights.
