Description An enchanting four/five-bedroom thatched cottage believed to date from the 17th Century boasting a wealth of characterful features located in this highly sought-after Mid-Suffolk village with the added advantage of not being Listed.

The accommodation comprises: entrance lobby, dining room, bedroom/study, day room/sitting room, kitchen, bathroom, further sitting room, two bedrooms, first floor landing, two further bedrooms and cloakroom.

The property further benefits from a completely re-thatched roof which was completed in 2020 and an upgraded heating system in 2022 which is reflected in the property's new EPC rating. This quintessential Suffolk cottage now with ECON 7 Dimplex Heaters to the Dining Room and Living area as well as a newly lagged tank to the bathroom could now lend itself as good investment for a Holiday Let (subject to the necessary consents), second home or as a much-loved family home. The property offers; exposed timbers, feature brick inglenook fireplaces, some wood boarded flooring, and versatile living accommodation. April Cottage is also being offered to prospective purchasers with no chain beyond.

Outside to the front wrought iron gates open onto a blocked paved driveway which provides off-road parking and access to the detached single garage. The attractive south facing rear garden is generous in size and private in nature and mainly laid to lawn with inset mature shrubs and trees. Within the garden is a detached former 'wash house' which currently provides useful storage.
