Located in the scenic village of Barrow, this cottage offers a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with significant renovation potential. Dating back to the early 1900s, the home features an appealing combination of brick and flint under a tiled roof and is set on a notably expansive plot with serene field views, perfect for tranquil living. After being held by the same family for nearly six decades, this cherished residence is now primed for new ownership that will breathe fresh life into its character.
While the property has been extended over time to adapt to its owners' needs, it requires modernization throughout, providing buyers with ample scope to tailor the space according to personal taste and contemporary standards. Additionally, there is potential for further extension pending necessary approvals, making it an attractive project for those keen on expanding their living space.
The internal layout includes an open storm porch leading into a welcoming entrance hall that connects to a generously sized sitting room featuring large windows that invite plenty of natural light. The kitchen/dining area offers exciting possibilities for redesigning and upgrading. Currently fitted with worktops, appliance space, and an integral pantry cupboard, it retains an original fireplace adding to its charm. A lean-to sunroom connects through from the kitchen while a ground-floor bathroom provides necessary amenities.
Upstairs, three bedrooms await – two doubles and one single – with one bedroom conveniently equipped with a WC and wash basin. Modern benefits include UPVC double glazing and electric storage heating systems.
Outside, you'll find driveway parking alongside a detached garage featuring double doors. Note that asbestos is present within the garage framework and sunroom roof area. The garden is primarily lawned and enriched with mature hedging and shrubs which create a feeling of privacy and serenity within this spacious plot offering delightful views across fields.
Barrow village boasts essential amenities including shops (with a Post Office), pubs, medical facilities, schools, and recreational activities all within close reach. With excellent transport links via the A14 connecting you easily to larger towns like Bury St Edmunds and beyond, this location combines both rural charm and practical convenience.
