This Grade II Listed thatched cottage offers a unique opportunity for renovation in a serene setting. Nestled in a private location with expansive gardens spanning approximately 0.43 acres, the property features distinctive colour-washed elevations beneath a classic thatched roof. With a generous living space of 2,440 sq ft across two floors, this cottage showcases traditional heavy timber framing and an array of potential updates to enhance its charm.
The home comprises several reception rooms, including a welcoming sitting room with a brick-surround fireplace and wood burner, alongside a dining room complete with sash windows that overlook the lush rear garden. The ground floor is well laid out, featuring a snug area, garden room (also with wood burner), kitchen/breakfast space, utility room, bathroom, and separate WC.
Upstairs, the first floor houses three bedrooms accessed via an impressive Minstrel’s gallery, along with an additional bathroom. Having been under the same ownership for 30 years and coming to market without onward chain, this property represents an exciting opportunity to modernize while preserving its historical significance.
The exterior includes a brick-paved driveway leading to gravel parking suitable for several vehicles. The extensive garden is largely laid to lawn among mature trees—including fruit varieties—and boasts herbaceous borders as well as features like a pond and potting shed. In spring and summer months, the garden flourishes, offering potential for avid gardeners.
Located on the fringes of Milden hamlet and in close proximity to Lavenham—a well-known medieval village—this cottage provides convenient access to local amenities while retaining rural tranquillity. Notable locations such as Sudbury (7 miles) give further access to commuter links toward London, enhancing its appeal for investors seeking both character and future potential.
