Description

This semi-detached cottage, currently configured as two separate dwellings, presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment in a picturesque hamlet near Monks Eleigh. Nestled alongside farmland, the property offers expansive views of the undulating countryside, making it an appealing canvas for potential homeowners or investors. The two cottages, formerly No. 2 and No. 3 Swingleton Hill, could be easily converted back into a single residence if desired. This would create a spacious home with approximately 1,800 square feet of living space spread over two levels. The current configuration includes various reception areas across both units, along with a total of four bedrooms and two bathrooms, providing flexible accommodation options. No. 2 features an inviting entrance hall leading to a cozy snug area, a sitting room with double doors opening to the rear garden, and a well-sized kitchen/dining space. It is complemented by three first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom. Conversely, No. 3 includes a sitting/dining room with dual aspects for ample natural light, along with its own kitchen and bathroom facilities. The exterior is equally promising; the property boasts a generous driveway that accommodates multiple vehicles and leads to additional hardstanding for parking. The garden area is primarily laid to lawn with established hedging and includes a pergola-covered terrace that is perfect for outdoor dining. A useful timber outbuilding adds extra storage or workshop potential. Significantly enhancing the investment potential is the presence of solar panels installed on the property to help reduce energy costs. Additionally, planning permission has been granted for building two semi-detached houses on adjacent garden land that is available separately. Located in Swingleton Green—a charming rural community—this property provides easy access to Monks Eleigh and its local amenities such as a popular pub, community shop, and parish church. The nearby medieval village of Lavenham (just three miles away) offers further conveniences including grocery stores and restaurants while the market town of Hadleigh (five miles away) caters to more comprehensive shopping needs. For those commuting to London, Manningtree Station is approximately a half-hour drive away with regular services reaching Liverpool Street in around 60 minutes. This property not only holds significant charm but also considerable renovation potential in an attractive location that offers both tranquility and connectivity to larger towns.
