This charming Grade II listed cottage is nestled in a rural setting within the sought-after village of Hitcham, surrounded by picturesque Suffolk farmland. The property offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment, as it has remained within the same family for several years and is now available with no onward chain.
The cottage retains many original architectural features, including exposed beams, open fireplaces, and ledge and brace doors, which provide a glimpse into its historical significance. Internally, the layout consists of a kitchen/breakfast room equipped with essential units and plumbing for modern appliances, alongside a utility room that houses an oil-fired boiler. Three ground floor reception rooms feature traditional fireplaces and characterful details, while the first floor accommodates three interconnecting bedrooms, allowing for flexible use depending on your needs.
Outside, the property boasts extensive gardens that enhance its appeal. These grounds include a former vegetable garden, various outbuildings—including a timber store—and off-road parking. The mature hedges and trees create privacy while offering delightful views over the adjoining farmland. With southern exposure, this outdoor space provides excellent potential for landscaping or further development.
Located just two miles from Bildeston—where you’ll find additional shopping and dining options—the property benefits from easy access to both Hadleigh and Stowmarket’s broader range of amenities. Stowmarket also offers mainline rail connections to London Liverpool Street, making this location practical for commuters.
This cottage presents an excellent investment opportunity for those interested in restoring a historic home or creating a customized living space in a tranquil village setting with significant potential for appreciation in value.
