Description

This charming Grade II listed thatched cottage is set on a substantial plot of approximately 1.5 acres, situated just a few miles from Haverhill and with convenient access to Bury St Edmunds. The property presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and potential development, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents from the local authority. Offering 2220 square feet of accommodation distributed over three floors, the space includes three spacious reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast area, a bathroom, and three or possibly four bedrooms. The generous grounds are mature and provide ample space for landscaping improvements or extensions. While the cottage requires a comprehensive refurbishment program, this provides an ideal canvas for those looking to enhance its character and value. Key features include dual windows in the entrance porch, exposed brick fireplaces in various reception areas, and multiple built-in storage options throughout. Outside, you will find established trees and shrubs along with an outbuilding that could be repurposed for varied uses.
