Description

Nestled in a tranquil riverside setting on the Suffolk-Essex border, this property comprises two attached cottages with immense character and considerable renovation potential. The nearby River Stour offers residents an idyllic waterside lifestyle, rich in scenic beauty and outdoor activities such as walking and boating. While currently standing as separate homes, these cottages present a unique opportunity for redevelopment into a single dwelling subject to planning permissions, or they can be modernised individually to suit personal preferences. Each property features delightful gardens that extend to the riverbank, ensuring uninterrupted views and easy access to the water's edge. Internally, the versatile layouts include spacious sitting rooms and multiple reception areas, as well as upstairs accommodations boasting views of the picturesque surroundings. The area's strong rural charm is complemented by proximity to Dedham Vale's Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and local amenities in Stratford St Mary, making this an appealing investment for those looking to create their ideal riverside residence.
