Description

This detached three-bedroom cottage, originally built in the 1960s, is situated on a generous 0.25-acre plot in a peaceful rural environment, bordered by picturesque fields. With a no-through road location, this property presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and potential expansion (subject to planning permission), making it ideal for those looking to create their dream home in a tranquil setting. The interior features an entrance hall leading to a sitting room equipped with a charming chimney breast, tiled fireplace, and mantelpiece. The kitchen and breakfast area provides both functionality and beautiful views of the rear garden and surrounding grazing land. It includes a series of work surfaces with cabinetry underneath, an inset sink unit, and space for appliances. A lobby connects the kitchen to both the front and back gardens while also housing a convenient gardener’s WC. Upstairs, the first floor has three well-proportioned bedrooms. The master bedroom overlooks the meadow and includes built-in storage. The second bedroom also features fitted wardrobes, while the third bedroom offers unique architectural character with its irregular shape and additional storage options. A separate bathroom and WC complete this level. Outside, the property's grounds are predominantly grassed and lined with mature hedges and several specimen trees. The slightly elevated position allows for scenic views over neighboring meadowland—perfect for nature enthusiasts or families seeking outdoor space. In terms of practicality, mains water and electricity are connected alongside a septic tank system and oil-fired central heating. Additionally, this property falls under Council Tax Band C (West Suffolk) and benefits from ultrafast broadband availability according to Ofcom. This house represents not just a residence but an investment opportunity in a sought-after rural area where you can make your mark through thoughtful renovations or extensions to meet your specific needs.
