This Victorian cottage, formerly a mill, offers substantial renovation potential on a generous plot of approximately 0.44 acres with south-facing gardens providing appealing countryside views. With an extension dating back to the 1940s, the property showcases traditional brick and rendered facades under a slate roof, encompassing around 2,285 sq ft of living space spread over two floors. Inside, you'll find a welcoming entrance hall leading to four reception rooms, a kitchen, utility room, and shower room/lobby featuring underfloor heating. The first floor accommodates five bedrooms and a bathroom, accessible via two staircases. The property benefits from double glazing and central heating throughout; the sitting room includes an open fire for added charm.
Externally, the hardstanding driveway grants right of way access for Mill Cottage but lacks off-street parking; responsibility for creating parking within the grounds will fall to the new owner within six months post-purchase. The extensive gardens are primarily lawned with mature trees, complemented by a raised decked area with a pergola and bordered by a stream on one side that backs onto open countryside.
Situated in Capel St Mary village, this location offers essential amenities such as a primary school and local shops while being well-connected to major transport routes like the A12 for convenient access to Ipswich and London. Notably close to Dedham Vale's stunning landscapes and good schools in both state and private sectors make this property suitable for families as well as investors seeking opportunities for enhancement.
