A charming period cottage located on the southern edge of Hadleigh with generous private gardens, a detached garage and far-reaching views over the Brett Valley
Description
Overlooking the Brett Valley, 134 Benton Street is the first property on the south side of Benton Street and as such, the immediate area has a distinctive semi-rural feel, yet is conveniently placed for the town centre which is just over 0.5 miles away to the north. According to its Grade II Listing, the cottage is believed to date from the 17th Century although the original parts, which comprises the existing study and the third bedroom immediately above, are probably earlier. Beyond the three front reception rooms is a much later two storey addition which includes the kitchen / breakfast room, garden room, utility room and the principal bedroom over which, like all the rear rooms, enjoy marvellous views.
The private garden is feature to the property which extends to the rear (west) and side (south). A gravel drive with adjacent detached garage leads onto an expanse of lawn with rear terrace and vegetable plot beyond the garage, where the garden tapers off to a southerly point. The southern boundary backs onto grazing meadows and open countryside giving a wonderful, rural vista towards Lower Layham. In all, the property covers about 0.25 acres.
Agents note: The detached garage has detailed plans to convert into further ancillary accommodation, ideally an annex or office. Please contact us for electronic copies of the plans and further information.
