Description

Introducing a remarkable opportunity to acquire a charming thatched cottage, set on an expansive approximately 3-acre plot. This property, situated in a secluded rural location yet conveniently close to the market towns of Bungay, Halesworth, and Harleston, boasts significant potential for enhancement and expansion, subject to planning permissions. The dwelling is surrounded by fields and trees, creating a serene environment perfect for those looking to escape urban living while maintaining access to local amenities. The late 17th-century cottage features a generous layout with a welcoming porch leading into the dining area and includes a country-style kitchen equipped with quality appliances. The lounge is spacious and filled with light due to its triple aspect windows and offers an inviting open fire for colder months. Upstairs are two sizeable double bedrooms adorned with charming exposed beams and vaulted ceilings. A key feature is the large attached annexe constructed in the 1970s, containing additional living space that presents excellent opportunities for refurbishment or extension while capitalizing on stunning views of the sunsets towards the west. Outdoors, the property includes multiple outbuildings—six stables, animal pens, workshop space, and even a residential mobile home—all contributing to its diverse potential uses. With three paddocks available, along with an orchard in need of some maintenance, this property could be transformed into a unique rural retreat or an idyllic family residence. This cottage's non-listed status adds another layer of appeal for potential investors or homeowners looking to develop further. The existing thatched roof requires replacement but much of the rest of the structure is sound. A visit will reveal how this delightful property can be turned into your dream home or investment opportunity.
