Outside - A pretty cottage-style garden is situated at the front of the property and a gravel drive provides off-road parking and double-opening timber gates lead to the rear garden.
The rear gardens are enclosed and afford a good degree of privacy and seclusion. Having been landscaped to provide space to relax and entertain, the gardens include a lawn, planted shrub and flower borders and a variety of mature trees. To the rear of the garden, a good-sized timber shed provides useful storage and adjoining the rear of the cottage, a brick built outhouse/utility area containing the oil fired boiler and plumbing for washing machine.

Location - The cottage enjoys a splendid setting in the heart of the village overlooking the picturesque village green. Tostock is a sought after and unspoilt village with a traditional village pub 'The Gardeners Arms' and village hall/playing field and a Parish church, well supported by the village's strong community spirit. The nearby village of Woolpit (2 miles distant) offers a wide range of amenities and excellent access to the A14 dual carriageway which provides access to the Cathedral town of Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket with its main rail link to London's Liverpool Street. Local amenities also include a sixth form college, bus travel to Thurston Community College (upper school), and local primary schools.

Bury St Edmunds is a picturesque, thriving market town which brings together the old and the new. The town boasts a great collection of venues for eating, drinking, shopping, and relaxing, making it a great place to live, work, visit and study.

The market town, with its impressive produce market every Wednesday and Saturday, is nestled in the heart of Suffolk. It is known for the Abbey Gardens, a ruined abbey right in the town centre. Bury is a very popular destination for locals and tourists to the area. Visit the old side of the town to see the Cathedral in all its glory, the medieval quarter of the town and the Abbey Gardens itself, or browse the newer side of the town.

Directions - From Bury St Edmunds proceed east on the A14 dual carriageway towards Stowmarket. Take the slip road signposted Beyton, Tostock and Thurston. Proceed through Beyton and turn left at the T junction onto Tostock Road. Follow the road over the A14 bridge and take the first turning on the left. Bear right at the first green and continue to the centre of the village and the main village green where the cottage will be found on the left hand side.
