Tucked away in the heart of this highly sought-after Suffolk village, Willow Cottage offers a rare opportunity to enjoy tranquil village life while being just a short distance from local amenities. The cottage, set within a picturesque rural setting, benefits from nearby shops, pubs, and services, making it an ideal home for those who appreciate both peace and convenience.
Willow Cottage retains a wealth of period features throughout, including exposed timbers, studwork, and fireplaces. While offering historic charm, the cottage does require a degree of modernisation and updating, allowing the new owner to put their personal stamp on this unique and character-filled home in one of Suffolk's most desirable villages. NO ONWARD CHAIN.
SITTING ROOM: Upon entering, the sitting room instantly showcases the cottage's period charm. The room is adorned with exposed timber beams and authentic studwork, evoking a warm and inviting atmosphere. A brick fireplace with inset wood burner set upon a tiled hearth further enhances the sense of history and provides a central focal point for the space. Offering front aspect. Staircase rising to the first floor.
DINING ROOM: A character-filled room featuring an Aga set against an exposed brick and timber wall, complemented by exposed beams and tiled flooring. The room has a window allowing views of the garden, making this space a perfect blend of traditional cottage warmth and comfort.
KITCHEN: The kitchen is fitted with base units under wooden worktops that incorporates a butler style sink unit with mixer tap and offers a practical space for cooking, while retaining its traditional character. There is potential
here for modernisation to bring the space in line with more contemporary tastes, allowing new owners to update the fittings while maintaining the room's cottage charm. Spaces for cooker, fridge/freezer and washing machine. The layout is functional and offers room for personalisation to create a kitchen that balances modern needs with period aesthetics.
BATHROOM: The bathroom is fitted with a panelled bath, wall hung wash hand basin and a WC. This room too offers the potential for further updating. It serves its purpose well but could be enhanced to provide a more modern touch, making the space more efficient and visually appealing.
