This delightful detached cottage, believed to date back to the early 19th century, offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment within a substantial corner plot in the picturesque village of Friston. The property features well-proportioned single-story living spaces that boast original period characteristics, including beamed and vaulted ceilings, as well as a central exposed brick chimney breast. Recent upgrades have been made, such as a full roof refurbishment, the installation of a new oil-fired boiler in 2018, and lighting circuit updates in 2016.
The layout includes two spacious reception rooms ideal for entertaining or relaxation, a kitchen/breakfast room, a bathroom, and two generously sized double bedrooms. Outside, the property features a charming wildflower garden along with ample off-road parking. Additionally, there is a detached multi-purpose outbuilding that presents further potential for development or conversion.
Friston itself is situated in an idyllic rural setting and is home to the popular local pub “The Old Chequers,” alongside an active village church and community hall. Its strategic location provides easy access to Suffolk's delightful towns and coastal areas. The market town of Saxmundham is nearby, offering convenient rail links and road access to various attractions along the coast. Notable destinations such as Aldeburgh—known for its scenic river views—and Snape with its beautiful countryside walks and cultural venues like Snape Maltings are all within reach.
For those interested in investment opportunities or creating their ideal rural retreat with potential for expansion (subject to planning permission), this property represents an exciting option in a sought-after area rich with natural beauty and local amenities.
