Description

This enchanting Grade II Listed thatched cottage, set in a secluded location, presents a promising opportunity for renovation and improvement. The property boasts approximately 2,440 sq ft of living space, characterized by its delightful colour-washed elevations and traditional thatch roof. Dating back to the mid to late 19th Century with evidence of a sturdy timber frame, the cottage has been extended to enhance its living capacity. The cottage features an array of reception rooms, including a welcoming sitting room with a brick-surrounded wood burner and a dining room adorned with charming sash windows overlooking the garden. The ground floor also comprises a hall, snug area, garden room (complete with another wood burner), bathroom, kitchen/breakfast area, utility room, and WC. Upstairs is accessed via an inner staircase leading to a unique Minstrel’s gallery that connects three bedrooms and another bathroom. While the property has stood as a cherished residence for the past 30 years without significant updates, it is now ready for your creative vision. The expansive gardens—almost half an acre—feature mature trees including fruit varieties, herbaceous borders, and even a pond with bridge. Additional structures like a potting shed and workshop add practical charm. This home flourishes during the warmer seasons with its rich variety of plants and flowers. Located on the edge of Milden and close to Lavenham—a village celebrated for its medieval architecture—this property offers both tranquility and accessibility. Local amenities are within reach in both Lavenham and Sudbury, providing further convenience. With no onward chain complicating matters, this property awaits new ownership ready to embrace its potential.
