Description

Bells Corner is a delightful 16th century cottage constructed from timber frame. The house has been in the same ownership since 1938 and is in need of refurbishment.

The front door leads into an entrance hall and through to the central dining room. There is a fireplace, some exposed beams and the staircase to the first floor. Beyond the dining room is a sun/garden room with doors to the garden. The sitting room features further exposed beams and stud work and a fireplace with wood burner. The kitchen/ breakfast room is located off the dining room with a comprehensive range of base and wall mounted units and a central fireplace for a cooker with extractor over.

There is study with open fireplace and views over the front gardens. To the end of the house is a rear hall/utility area with stable door to the outside and cloakroom beyond.

The first floor has a landing with linen cupboard and three bedrooms with a bathroom and ensuite shower room.

Outside
The cottage is set well back from the road with the front drive leading through formal and informal gardens with a pond to one side. There is a large parking area to the side of the house which fronts a range of traditional and modern outbuildings comprising a timber framed barn/workshop, two garages and a standalone carport. Immediately to the rear of the cottage is a terrace with a small stream/brook running through the garden and a garden well. There are further gardens beyond the parking sweep which continues to two fruit cages, two greenhouses and a former vegetable plot.

Location

Bell Corner is set back from the road in a delightful edge of village setting. The village is in the heart of the Box Valley in a designated area of out standing natural beauty. The Box runs into the Stour Valley in Constable country, one of the prettiest and most sought after areas in East Anglia. There are particularly attractive villages in the area such as Stoke by Nayland, Boxford, Nayland and Higham. The market town of Hadleigh offers a wide range of excellent shops and facilities. There is ready access to Colchester, the oldest recorded Roman town in England with a direct train service to London’s Liverpool Street Station.

Square Footage: 2,153 sq ft


Acreage: 0.65 Acres

At the give way in Stoke By Nayland turn left and after a few hundred yards take the first right to Polstead. Proceed down the hill and continue until passing Martens Lane on the right and the entrance to the cottage will be seen immediately on the right.
